Heat Wave in Britain Causes Strange Behaviour
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. The last week of June this year saw UK temperatures soar to a reported 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit), the hottest in three years. It was also the highest recorded temperature in June for many years – the average for June is 19-22 degrees Celcius (66-72F).
But when a population starved of warmth and sunshine are given it all in one go, crazy things start to happen.
Sun Worshipper Stampede
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. With temperatures like this you can’t but avoid swarms of sunbathers trying to get a natural tan for once, jostling for space in the best suntanning spots. Pretty soon this means millions of red skinned, peeling folks and most likely a spike in skin cancer scares a few months down the line.
The Complaining Starts
True to form, the British mentality can’t deal with simply being happy and counting there blessings for more than a few days. Inevitably complaints about it being too unbearably hot and sticky soon became commonplace, and people started longing for cooler conditions again. And, inevitably, there were petitions to demand the government do something about the awful hot weather and lack of air conditioners in public places!
Fan Stampede
With one half of the UK population is stripping down to their underwear, the other half 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!
The Inevitable Demise
However these kinds of weather conditions are doomed to die out in the UK, and a week later the country was swept with heavy wind and rain.Climate change campaigners are saying this is exactly the kind of effects they have been warning about for so long. Predictably, everyone is now moaning and complaining about the wind and rain, and wishing the heatwave would come back. I suppose you just cannot win.
