You seem to have a problem with weather forecasters forecasting the weather Chico? Or with the media reporting those forecasts? Appreciate sometimes those forecasts can be inaccurate but this time it seems they have been remarkably good on this occasion. They highlighted the upcoming heatwave well over a week ago to some cynicism yet they seem to have hit the nail on the head. |  |

No doubt. My point is about the Media and its’ desperation for worst case scenarios. |  |

They're only feeding peoples' natural rubber necking instincts. I can hardly keep my eyes off various weather updates (to my shame). Also, I think there's a sense that it'll take some close to home dramatic stuff for anything to change on climate action front. |  |

....a weather type woman who confirmed that the previous highest overnight temp was broken yesterday. The interviewer excitedly proclaimed "So we smashed it!!?". FFS. |  |

I agree, the need to hype everything is irksome. There seems to be a need to create a drama, and to interview everyone who may have something they want to say on the issue, relevent or not! I guess it’s partly the product of having 24hr news channels and social media where every pillock can get a hearing. That said, hitting a new highest temperature is news worthy and the heat is rather dominating the UK conversation at the moment. |  |

I did venture to mention that BL said closed windows are better. She wasn’t impressed. Got to admit that the draft through the windows is nice though - even though it’s hot air! |  |

Charlwood, Surrey. Apparently N Cambs and Lincolnshire are very much still in the game for this afternoon. |  | |  |
