The people who scoff and just carry on regardless will no doubt expect the emergency services to come riding to their rescue if all goes wrong. Seriously laughable. What would the emergency services do? I really do not understand the lock yourself away mentality, even the work from home, it is as though that everyone works 9-5 in an office. I would choose to IGNORE all nonsense advice. The same goes when we have a little bit of snow and they make it out as though we had a 6ft snowfall. Common sense is really not so common anymore unfortunately. Err hang on a minute, nobody said anything about locking yourself away.......just heeding the advice because if you do have an emergency it might take a while for help to arrive. Surely that's using common sense? |

No service on the Cable Car due to extreme weather conditions I can imagine the cables becoming so slack though expansion that they dip the gondolas into the river  |

The Jubilee line is currently moving at Snails pace between Stratford and Canning Town. Hate that section trains crawl at the best of times approaching Stratford. Must be awful on a train in the blazing sun. I feel sorry for anyone getting on the Central and Vicky lines at the moment. That is TORTURE |

Shocking, really do not understand the decision for this. After all in 2003 and 2018 when it went to 38 degrees they were still running normal speeds. Then they wonder why people do not bother with public transport. I remember the summer of 2003! God was that a summer as was 2006. Must admit summers after that clearly became so drab after 2007 especially until 2012 & clearly in the years following 2007 people had forgotten how hot summer can be, wasn’t until 2018 when summers became hot again You see that summer in 2003. That was a deadly summer to the point people were suffering heat frustration. I remembered it being extremely hot in France as well that year. |

I don’t remember it being that special but was nearly 20 years ago 🤣 |

For me it was quite a memorable summer because especially at night, it was extremely difficult sleeping due to the heatwave |

I’ve just googled the temperature of the Caribbean and the temperature of the Uk and the UK is hotter than the Carribean.

From what I have seen there has been no 40c anywhere today? Think the media was hyping this up a bit and bet they are disappointed.

The big danger is not that the daytime temperatures get to 40C, but that the night temperatures do not cool sufficently to allow proper sleep. This is what happened in August 2003 and is expected to happen tonight and it can have a deleterious effect on people's health. |

That's true, last night was really bad for me, I can usually manage to sleep in the heat but was awake several times. My main point was the BBC was getting really hyped despite the Met Office not confirming 40c yesterday. |
