FA Cup day this year seemed hot according to a thermometer broadcasters pointed to just before kick off.  It showed a temperature of just above 40, althought this was the temperature in the open - don't know what the actual shade maximum was that day.  English spectators shown on camera seemed to be sticking handkerchiefs on their heads to cope with the 'hot' day.

HI Clyve,
I was in the UK ( near London) in 2007 .The buildings in England, around London are designed for the cold of winter with quite inadequate provision for heat waves , now becoming more common there. Also the higher temperatures have a rather higher Relative Humidety than we experience here, making the heat quite oppressive.Even 27 degrees in London is very hard to put up with.Certainly the Brits have little knowledge of how to handle hot weather.

Gavin,

Hi all....Interesting warnings from CNN and the BBC (Austar). The weather presenter on CNN was covering the pending heat wave for London and parts of southeast England, the beat up by the presenter was rather worrying ?...First the need for everybody to drink water, stay indoors wear sun block bla bla bla and on it went describing the 'dangerous heat expected.   Then the proper advice followed ...the weather forecast....sunny and hot with a maximum in London of 28c !!!!!! ????.   I presume after all that most Londoners are cowering under the staircase....regards Clyve H.
 
PS....The 'heat wave' for London is expected to peak  Tuesday with a max of 30c and thunderstorms....anyone for a strom chase ? !...
