Meanwhile in Scotland we are wondering what this big glowing ball is in the sky, The locals have retreated back to the caves until this strange thing goes away 😅
Scots going into boots demanding a higher factor than 50 is released
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
😁😂😛
@Deaf Works ikr
Prayers from the Desert Southwest, Arizona to the people of UK and all others affected by the extreme heat and fires.
Don't feel sorry for them mate, I like seeing how they "tan" lobster red and white, it works in tandom with Poms.
Prayers? lol...it's a bit of sunshine...it's great😎
Met they rest in peace !
Now the Uk understands why Americans use AC in their homes/apartments.
Why?
@@noworriesnoproblems6382 I live in Arizona and it usually hovers around 40-50 during the summer. Without Central Air we will be cooked.
@@NitroTheWolf it lasted 2 days then it's been raining and 14 degrees C 57 F ever since. That's the UK for ya.
I'm so glad I bought an air conditioner unit 3 weeks ago and everyone was taking the piss outta me saying I didn't need it and it's a waste of money 😑 im sitting here right now shivering 😆😆😆
Bless !!! 🤣💕
Have a fan on the first floor blowing air in and a fan on the second floor blowing air out. Its our a/c unit here in southern U.S
Sounds "cool"....
Meanwhile everyone comes home from their holidays and tells everyone else
"It was 42°, paradise"
Exactly, as soon as the heat comes here we are made to panic
🤣🤣🤣
To put things into perspective for Americans, the UK sits at the same latitude as James Bay in Northern Canada. 41C or 106F in the UK is crazy, especially considering AC is not exactly commonplace for the average UK household.
Nah, everything's fine...it's just summer :))))
It is insanity! I live in South Africa, and 40C would be hot here (it gets to 35C in Summer and is not unusual to reach 40C). The idea of England reaching temperatures on par with Africa is insane!
@@ashwinnmyburgh9364 - I live in Bulgaria now - it gets to 40, occasionally 45 here. But 40 in the UK is just insanity
Just to add (as someone from the UK) the next following days will be at the low to mid twenties.
@Wolf we wouldnt want to :p
Meanwhile the police in Holland are pointing guns at farmers who are refusing to play along.
That’s why they are covering this heat wave , to distract
Not sure why this pops up in my YT recommendation but just looking at it now in the fairly freezing winter, looking forward to a lovely warm summer
I went to Sainsburys and it was lovely and cool in there. Shopped very slowly and enjoyed the cool off.
Not bad is it when places like this can afford their electricity bill🤔...
One of the hottest places to be right now is an airport , tarmac & jet engines . Just the spot to set a new record temperature . Well done !
Tarmac definitely creates a heat island effect, but that doesn't explain why it's 39+ celcius in other places like Surrey.
@@samspencer7765 ... True, its currently 39c - 102.2F here in South Lincolnshire expected to reach 40c - 104F by 5.00pm. It was 39c yesterday also and temps remained at 24c throughout the night.
@@samspencer7765 Understood , but to go to an airport for this exercise, seems odd .
@@martinwebb1681 My garden thermometer (which is in direct sunlight) currently reads 50.4c
Heathrow has concrete runway not tarmac
Big deal…..it’s 40c….it’s going to plummet next week to 19c for the rest of eternity. Scottsdale is 45c until at least November!
It’s back to normal tomorrow, calm down for christs sake.
Yeh nothing to see here, just a record breaking highest temperature!
Meanwhile in Saudi Arabia heat is at 42 and people drinking hot tea ☕️
Yeah, we drank hot tea too. I mean we did it with no air conditioning, in houses designed to retain heat, while outside saw roads grow so hot that they began to melt.
A 50 year record has been broken by half a degree celsius... UUUhh wow
And if we factor in a reasonable margin of error (5%) it probably didn't even occur.
And 65 million people will spontaneously combust
@@greatgatsby513 By that logic it could also have been 5% higher. The equipment used is very sensitive and multiple simultaneous readings corroborate the temperature readings.
@@samspencer7765 It's not a matter of 'by that logic'. It's not selective. Margins of error are standard practice, whether it fits your narrative or not.
Records have been recorded using different types and quality of equipment with different calibration tolerances and in different locations over time.
Thus this inconsistency results in a significant margin of error. They cannot realistically validate their claims of record breaking results.
@@greatgatsby513 Exactly! great reply
in Nottinghamshire it was 30 degrees here last night.
What's the Temp there now Julie? As here in South Lincolnshire its currently 39c - 102.2F and its expected to make 40c - 104F by 5.00pm, its truly roasting.
🥵
Stay indoors between 10am and 3pm. This is a good week to call off of any non essential outdoor job.
Cmom it's beach time..! Just make sure firemen are close to home....
Hottest part of the day is now 3pm....
Building had to stop 30 c can't blame them for that
It’s the humidity that makes it too much
the humidity is low 🤷♂️
@@Vespa123
It’s something about our air though even if the humidity is low the air is muggy in summer and icey in winter especially compared to other countries. Idk how they measure humidity but we definitely have moist air.
But if the air is humid things shouldn't be so inflammable - the "tinderbox conditions" mentioned in the clip.
Umm I'm in the tropics where humidity is 90%.. humidity is cooler than dry air lol
I’ve been staying cool in this heatwave by identifying as a freezer.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wanna get away from landscaping lol and find me job in a freezer again
@@feihceht656 and it works every single time 👌🏻😂
And you'd think the acres and acres of pure tarmac , concrete and jet engines constantly blowing hotair everywhere would make Heathrow an unreliable place to measure temperature. I wonder what the temperature was today at fiddler's ferry blast furnace , use that reading next year for an even scarier headline.
The planes are known to have no effect on the temperature reading. The tarmac does have an effect, and is equivalent to taking the temperature in a built up area. Nearby Kew Gardens records identical temperatures to Heathrow and is not near an airport.
It was about 36 degrees, the same temperature as everywhere else around here - Fiddlers ferry closed down about 2 years ago
Wow... even as I live near the equador, my country never reach 40. Usually around 35-37..
What altitude is your country?
@@alwoo5645 Well he definitely lives by the coast
Stop going on about it!!!!!!!!
I am a flooring contractor and we have to work all day
I was stationed at RAF Upper Heyford near Bicester from Jan 87 to Jan 90. The British summers were cold and dreary, we were lucky to get a day that got up to 20 Celsius. I can’t imagine living in the dorms back then with no AC and temperatures over 40 degree. This is global warming on steroids 😱
Scotland must be wondering what's happening!
Nothing was done ten years ago and we are breaking records for all the wrong reasons.
oh my goodness. That's so sad. So sorry to see this
Yeah it lasted how long?? I've had to light the fire for the last 4 nights. This used to be called summer...
Since then it's rained constantly and and no higher than 16, hope the doom mongers are gappy now
Air conditioner is essential for such heat. If millions of A/C installed and used, we need huge amount of power. So more Power stations is needed
But what about power stations which are not producing CO2 ? Water, Nuclear, Solar, Wind, Geotermal etc.
@@Dav1d15196 #climateaction
More power it's either nuclear coal or gas. Renewable can't be that fast and isn't enough on time.
@@marczhu7473 Yeh coal and gas wouldn't add to the vicious cycle so lets use those
That's exactly the way we march towards our doom.
It's brilliant, thankfully we finally got that fine summer weather 😎 make sure to use sunblock guys!!!
Down in southern Spain we have temps of 40 as a norm in summer and heatwaves of 45. We have 35 out of control fires and thousands dead from the heat. This is the new norm, mother nature is now kicking back after decades of abuse.
I can easily cope with 40 at Madrid, tube has air con, as all buses and trains, all shops have it as well, we have lots of pools, or we can go to the beach very fast, besides is a dry heat, so much easer to deal with.
I don't have air con at home, I never had it, I don't think I need it.
We have made our bodies used to always have a confort temperature, but 500 years ago that was not the case, we were cold at winters and hot at summers.
Using a motorbike all year round in Madrid makes me extremely tough.
I have been spending the last 4 winters without heating and summers without air con, and I am still alive. But If I have to say, I rather be in a heat wave than in a blizzard with -20.
OTOH 34 degrees in Yucatán were hell compared to 42 in Madrid. because the humidity.
Incompetence is what it is
What kind of abuse? I'm sure those temps existed back in the 1800s too. Was that from "abuse" as well?
More like the globalists are spraying chemtrails to justify more climate change taxes
@@electrolytics Average trending upward rise in global temperature
I Iive in the Sonora’s desert , 40 is a regular day, in summer goes even hotter here, poor people ...
Grow up here in UK we are not used to these temperatures plus we don't have air con in our homes
Me living in a place where the everyday temperature in Summer is between 37 and 39 and its like no problem
Same haha.. winter here and 34 today.. very humid tho so couldn't light a bush fire here with a gallon of petrol and a match ..
This is insane it isn't normal. I'm a black british man and even I can't take this heat 😫
@dani cali yh, sorry to hear that. Our country is not build for these kind of temperatures.
Snowflakes get a grip
Gotta say that weather reporter is absolutely beautiful... very pleasant looking in that green top.
I can't wait for it to absolutely p!ss it down!
Bellend
It was too hot for me to go to school. It's just roasting everyone today. Stay safe britain
Opportunity knocks...
Stay in the house / offices, drink water , bath , use hats/umbrella ,
From hot weather citizen lol eventho it's usually 32 here , 40 is too much
I have seem a few umbrellas up... or sunbrellas we should call them.
@@kevinprior3549 They're very good for keeping just slightly cooler when outdoors, for sure.
The UK rarely goes above 30, so when it happens people make the absolute most of it. They pull a sicky and go outside during the day to enjoy the weather. A lot of brits would scoff at the idea of staying inside all day during such weather.
It's beach time!...
Nothing to see here peeps. Dave from facebook says he experienced a summer this hot when "e woz a lad" 👍
Exactly, Dave also eloquently explained that it's completely normal to record a record-breaking hottest temperature, it happens every year, it just keeps going up, thus establishing a new normal, and hence, everything is normal. "Hottest-day-ever records were always being broken when I woz a lad, that's how I know climate change is fake"
Oh yes the summer of 76 my Dad goes on about. It was all trees round 'ere back in them days.
Snowflakes.....everywhere
Omg 😱 it’s like Hong Kong 🇭🇰 temp , this is Windy wet London not Asia ! If this becomes normal il go live in a Scandinavian country
Helsinki: 19°C today.
After visiting Finland I can confirm the UK is a shithole country.
!!!!
19 sounds like heaven
I just come back to UK after 16 years from scandi country I am dying 🤣 8 days I been back it's hell when I left was strong wind and rain sideways
So scary
live a little bloody hell
And this is just the beginning..!
@@ChristineFisher123 of warm weather? Happy days
Kinda stupid that everyone is complaining about the heat in the uk when one of the reasons for climate change is all the people taking planes to go on holiday to other hot counties
Oh how ironic!
Cheers mate, I'll swim there next time (y)
Climate change lol
recordkeeping of temperatures goes back a lot longer than the 1990s and there are references in news papers too speaking of higher temperatures--- if they really wanted to show us that this is just a normal flux of summer heats. But that would not suit their Green deal agenda of capitalize on your freshly installed fears, provided by propaganda news. lol
There is no climate change.
“First time?”- Greetings from sunny Portugal
MAybe catching up with modern technology like basic in home air conditioning would help.
If they're available, heat pumps are a better option. Cool in the summer and heat in the winter at an amazing level of efficiency, making people comfortable and they'll pay much lower energy costs than AC or normal winter heating.
Most cant afford it.
@@andrewd7112 good idea. And more trees
Just had some rain here in Wiltshire which has cooled things off a bit...
Why people moan 🤔?
We should be happy its not snowing 🙂.
Imagine shoveling snow in this heat !
Having reached 40 c now
We can expect if to be more regular and for longer periods .
Why’s that?
its literally going to be normal tempratures tomorrow
It’s just an aberration
Only 27% humidity, which isn't that bad. 103 degrees with that humidity is more bearable then even 80's with 90% humidity.
"iNcReDiBlE aNd ScArY" and tomorrow it'll be back to normal lmao
I live in Sheffield and I went to the nearest modern day oasis
Shopping centre at Meadowhall
i see people commenting that we need more AC in the future....yea and warm the climate up some more by using something that takes up so much energy. i dunno what the solution could be without AC though. but it needs to be remembered, AC is not environmentally friendly.
Maybe not insulating everyones homes so they become ovens?
@@thetrainspotter7 I don't know. I don't know the science behind insulation but I have read that insulation also helps the home not get heated up as fast by the sun. But then it takes longer to get the heat out once it's heated up. Also less insulation also means more energy needed to keep houses warm in the winter. There isn't an easy fix to all these problems it seems.
@@BritishMaverickk there is an easy fix . For the two days in every ten years it gets hot ,man up and just take it.
The heatwave is a good excuse for Boris Johnson staying in the fridge instead of joining the PMQ's....😜
Yeah, Boris is at the pub with AC and a big icy cold one....
why do we need a small live video of the sun. Its in the damn sky for all to see
Weve had 2 days of sun , why does this country panic over everything that goes on. Headlines, blowtorch britain, wow, its summer
"There'll be blood in the streets, 10 million people have died, roving bands of cannibals will feast on the remains" - SKY News on a 2 day heatwave 🤣
Kay Burley at her best, ( whilst constantly interrupting her guest ).
😆 lol
Twit.
The Streets are melting! 😂🤣 If true get your money back! We get up to 55C a few days each summer here in Kuwait and the streets are fine.
Just like covid reports
Here in US it getting hotter then that…but people still don’t believe in climate change.
Does the planet naturally heat and cool itself ?
@@suzyrottencrotch5132 Did we have peace in Europe? In all seriousness it took about 10 generations to destabilize the whole ecosystem enough to speed natural processes up by much. It's all those small things: carbon emissions, forest cutting, massive desertification, die off in the oceans, man made hole in the atmosphere over ice caps. Will suck for humanity nonetheless. To put it mildly.
@@suzyrottencrotch5132 Yes it does, but human activity has been partly responsible for the rise in global temperatures.
Earth's climate is always changing. We've gone through volcanic infernos then on to ice ages and this will continue until the sun swalows the earth up in millions of years time . The sun is also in the middle of its solar cycle which affects the the earth
@@t0nI0 will it suck more than 3 months of clouds because NATO is dogshit ?
"This is Scary Heat" she says lmao
Funny, I remember pavements & roads melting in the heatwaves of the 70's & 80's. None of that this time.
Did anyone take a reading or did we all just take the media's word for how hot it got?
As an american southerner just be happy it ain't as humid 😂
Wychwood village, near Crewe in Cheshire - it was 41.3 degrees yesterday afternoon !
I'm just gonna sleep in the fridge.
40.2C not bad for a day in a year ....in the following years would become hotter and hotter not just for one day but for weeks. 55C new record in 10 years.
And it will just compound considering everybody will install AC and that will up the energy demand - heating the Earth further. Say goodbye to Ukraine, since Europe in general will leave Russia alone to get their oil and gas. Putin is smiling.
people go abroad for this and now theyre scared....... man up
In Scotland we even got to see the Sun 😀
thats everyday for some people in the summer lol, but def concerning
Us FLA
Was unbearable last year, really hoping it wrong
We literally had to close our warehouse it was over 30 degrees inside... People were almost passing out
Due to being snowflakes
@@nickhindle7289 hardly.
Try working in a steel works 45hour shift . Or outside in the winter.We never had Aircon or central heating growing up .Why have this generation turned so soft?
1 days of extremes heat wow. Today jumper weather
70s in Alaska. Tell me how climate collapse isn't real
Wales chilling 😂😂
This is thr normal weather for places like Pakistan and India imagine how they must struggle there. So sad that our earth is heating up so much and people didn't listen to the activists or warnings.
It's your economy that is making things worse.
Why do they say Celsius every time a temp is mentioned? Do a lot of people use Fahrenheit in the Uk?
I'm sweating my bollocks off.
Get them undies off and go commando
Just cycle home air so dry hard to breath. Wind feels like a hair dryer.
Incredible fearmongering
Why are we complaining about 2-weeks of free hot weather? Many of us pay a fortune every year to enjoy such weather in places like Australia, Thailand, India, etc.
We're all gunna die
Probably not today though.
This is what i don't like about heatwave especially at night it will be uncomfortable for sleeping
Check out the amount of vegitation along the railway lines and the quality of the air in this 'Vintage rail film - Engine Shed - LMS 1938' and then ask yourself why it's sunny and warm in 2022 and the weather is getting warmer, sunnier and better placed for growing food?
That's an average summer temperature here guess it's all a matter of perspective
Standard Winter spanish temperature as of today pretty much,xd
Really? We are supposed to be scared of summer now? Get a life. I can't decide if this is serious or a comedy sketch 🤔
Not scary! In fact it’s absolutely beautiful
*This is ridiculous! UK people has too much time in their hands or they love drama.*
40°C is just average in summer here in India. And now in mansoon 28°C .
I was stuck in a prison cell during this heatwave and the temperature was so hot in our cell that our instant coffee melted into sludge, our TV turned off because of the heat and a cup of water evaporated in 2 hours.
Why all the fuss? Why do the media blow everything out of proportion? It`s hot for two days. GET OVER IT.
Lovely weather been topping up the tan all day 😎😎
Average summer or day in Philippines is 32°C~38°C with a whopping 80% Plus Humidity + No Breeze = Hellish Hell Inferno.
This is why I hate the Summer here in the UK. The heats unbearable and I refused to leave my house so I was skipping school (worth it fr)
Loving this heat! Like being in Greece
Troll
Scary? The only people that seem to be scared are the reporters.
where in Heathrow are Temps taken, being the busiest UK Airport
42º here in Zaragoza, Spain
Next week's Sky news headline "UK sinking under torrential downpours, in some places up to 6mm has fallen in just 24hrs" ... They always find a way to make a mountain out of a molehill!
"Let's normalise it to deny climate change".
@@mcfch9625 At no point did I say climate change is not a thing (have another read-through), what I am saying is we shouldn't blow things out of proportion, and instead of constantly having a go at the likes of me for driving my 1.5ltr Kuga try to get the likes of China, USA, India, Russia, Japan, Germany to change their ways! The UK is 17th on the list of Co2 emissions per capita according to worldometer... China outstrips everyone by a country mile!
Even many contries in Africa never recorded that temperature
I from Brasil l love heat😉
Wait..... Heathrow airport
What about the record descent in temp from yesterday to today!
We have 48 in abqaiq,Saudi Arabia
We’ve had 100+ degree weather in St. Louis many times. Y’all acting like the world is ending lmao
I'm officially embarrassed to call myself a brit. We're the most embarrassing bunch of wet farts on the planet.
Yes 100degrees centigrade does sound hot.
@@jablot5054 it’s definitely hot and the humidity here just makes it worse
