@metoffice You’re making a mistake by prioritising precise degree numbers over the actual red warning description which is danger to life. The power grid is falling apart, wild fire risk is exceptional and now hospitals are rammed.Highway patrol is needed to stop roads melting & no warning?
@storm_obsessed Exactly they care too much about the precise degree numbers than the actual red warning description which is danger to life. The power grid is falling apart, wild fire risk is exceptional and now hospitals are rammed. Highway patrol is needed to stop roads melting & zero warnings
@metoffice Red warning for pollen guys however you can’t find it anywhere on their website because it’s not a weather alert but a secondary health alert. Apparently bee pollen is more dangerous than the 36 degree extreme heat.
@YouBearsssssss@metoffice Yeah because people don’t like rules and caution these days that’s why hospitals are rammed and then they come out and say it’s normal summer to avoid any more caution against them. It’s so obvious.
@metoffice The risk to wild fires is at risk of becoming severe and is already very high yet no extreme heat warnings in place as the country is at danger of setting fire
@YouBearsssssss@metoffice Exactly 36-37 is just as dangerous as 40 degrees and Red Alerts are supposed to be about danger to life rather than strict numbers alone and the national power grid is already under strain yet we are green and clear this time when last time was a 37 red.
@metoffice Where are the extreme heat warnings oh yea hitting 36-37 tomorrow isn’t enough because we only issue warnings for 40. this is absolutely ridiculous.
Temperatures have exceeded 34°C today for the 8th day this year 🌡️
That makes it a record for the most number of 34°C or higher in a calendar year 👇
The record was previously set in 1976 and 2020 for 7 days
@metoffice The last heatwave was overestimated with the wet grounds. This time temperatures are being underestimated with dry grounds caving to easterly winds that are not even in land. Ground temperatures are where the true peak potential burrows.
