The highest temperatures recorded in May is 32.8°C, with several notable occurrences. These include readings at Camden Square and Greenwich in Greater London during May 1922, as well as across parts of southeast England including Tunbridge Wells and Horsham during late May 1944.
1922 As well |

You can't sanitise everything donny, some young uns
will find a reservoir or river irresistable in hot weather, it's always been thus. The odd casualty has to be accepted in the pursuit of fun, as sad as it is for connections. |

By:
Err, well yeah, of course you can lead a horse
to water but you can't make it drink. I'm not for forcing anybody, but reminders are good. Remember to check in on elderly folk, etc etc, And yeah, still we will get a spike in deaths |

I'll be in Vegas on Friday where its 35+ everyday without fail and there are several million people walking up and down the strip each week without many or any fatalities. You'd think its never been hot but we've had longer periods than this (1976 anyone) and after next week it will be back down to average. Enjoy it while its here as it may be the only sun we get knowing this country.

it's illogical to think that warnings are aimed at you.
There are some people who need a reminder. Live long and prosper. |

They love highlighting a bit of Hot weather as if its some kind of Disaster , The old Climate boiling Pony
And people keep swallowing it ,If climate Change was man made would have a lot More problems than a bit of Hot weather Highlighted by their Red Hot Maps |

By:
YTHL is right,in 27deg + older people get a whack off the heat,too long in it and it affects me anyway,going from feeling ok to being in 'trouble' is quite quick and missing that is the point.
A fair defence. |

Spain are welcoming immigrants, so I'm led to believe. presumably not short on housing people already there
|

Don’t worry about it nanny, I’m mad myself I can assure you but everything about this forum seems to be negative, very rarely anybody posts anything positive. That’s not good for people’s mental health.
There must be some good things happening. I will post something positive it’s not really political but it can be because it’s against ageism, a 74 year old man came out of retirement to win 2 trophies for his club, a billionaire had to turn to him to get him out of trouble. If you are sharp enough mentally you are never too old to work. |

There's an abundance of positive stuff on the Politics forum, MALAY. The local elections were epic, and they only happened earlier this month.
many of us are enjoying the rapid downfall of 2tk. The argument of the OP is applicable here isn't it. Rare great weather for bank holiday weekend in England used to be welcomed. Sunny and warm weather is joyous and precious. The gaslighting from the authorities is instead determined to scare people away from enjoying it. |

Never seen Eurovision since brother hood of man won but if that’s what you are into, good luck with that, hope you had a few shekels on you’re winner, whoever it was

It's a fantastic betting event. The in running, when the points are announced is the best hour of betting in the year. nobody needs to be an expert in EV to participate, it's much more about maths and strategy.

I watch football, horse racing and greyhounds, wouldn’t be massive bettor on football, other 2 yes.
I watch Crufts too cos I love dogs, but Eurovision Song Contest, not for me, I’d rather gnaw my right arm off. |

YHTL I'm nearly 67 so no spring chicken but don't need the nanny state (and the BBC) to warn me it might get hot in the summer. Common sense doesnt appear to be very common these days.

By:
I hope it gets warm in Ireland. In fairness it’s been ok, my pet dogs have been groomed, they will just need to shelter from heat and plenty water.
However I will be delighted with warm weather saves you paying thousands to go to Spain for a good colour on my skin. |

No reported incident of any swimmer getting into difficulty yet. I hope it stays that way the heatwave is over.

We were walking along the river Calder this morning and got
talking to some young lads, 11 or 12 yo. They swim in the river a lot and I advised them that I wouldn't let my granddaughter near it due to potential sewage contamination. They didn't care at all, about temperature or sewage. I wished them well. |

The body of a 15-year-old boy has been found after he went missing in a lake in Lincoln, police have said.
Emergency crews were earlier called to reports of a boy getting into difficulty at Swanholme Lakes at about 14:30 BST on Sunday. Tragic |
