Britons Go a Crazy After Record Breaking Heatwave

In the UK the year round weather is so blighted by rain and clouds – but the population got a well deserved break recently with some thermometer busting conditions. During the end of June and beginning of July temperatures rocketed to a whopping 35 Celsius (or 95 in Fahrenheit), the highest recorded for three years.  It was also the hottest temperature in June for many years – the average for June is 19-22 degrees Celcius (around 70 degrees Fahrenheit).

However when you subject such conditions on a people who hardly ever experience it, you can be sure of a little madness flying about.

Lobsters & Melanoma

First thing you see when the sun comes out in the UK is people stripping down to bikinis to make the most of the sun.  You can visit any town in Britain during such weather and be sure of spotting hordes of people fighting for a good patch to sun themselves.  No doubt doctors surgeries will get more than a few patients through their doors with worrying signs of skin cancer.

The Grass Is Always Greener

True to form, the British mentality can’t deal with simply being happy and counting there blessings for more than a few days. As sure as the sun sets, people soon started to complain about it being too hot, getting nostalgic about how cool it was last week. And, inevitably, there were petitions to demand the government do something about the awful hot weather and lack of air conditioners in public places!

Staying Cool

With one section of the UK population is stripping down to their underwear, the rest rushes down to the high street and sucks up the entire stock of desk fans like some sweaty, many-headed monster. According to Google, searches for the term “portable air conditioner” in the UK went from 9,900 in May to 49,500 in June!

Nothing Lasts Forever

Sadly the tropical heatwave didn’t last and since this scorching seven days the country has been hit by equally severe rain and thunder storms.Climate change campaigners are saying this is exactly the kind of effects they have been warning about for so long.Now, of course, the UK public is now starting to complain about the rain and harking back to the heatwave. You just can’t win.
