Sweltering Summer in UK Creates Chaos, Health Warnings and Record Sales of Desk Fans
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 (95 degrees Fahrenheit), the hottest in three years. It was also the hottest temperature in June for many years – the average for June is 19-22 degrees Celcius (66-72F).
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. Several months down the line you can be sure of a few melanoma scares resulting from the overexuberant sun-worshipping.
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 conditioning in public places!
Fan Stampede
With one section of the British 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
Unfortunately these Mediterranean conditions failed to stick around, and after a week of this there were equally severe thunderstorms and rain, leading to severe flooding in some parts.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.
