I sat and watched ten minutes of news this AM from GBN (straight from the heart of the UK). Here. Via Twitter.
They put up a nice colorful map (mostly orange/red) for the UK and Western Europe to show temperatures for the next couple of days.
Key quote? "Mini-heatwave to see Britons bake in 20C heat as hot air sweeps in from Europe."
20C heat? Basically 68 F.
At best, it's the day that you pull the shorts out and debate the condition, and still remain in non-shorts attire. T-shirt only weather? No....you still have a light jacket around.
BS-level? I'd give it a eight on the 1-to-10 BS scale I maintain.
Here's the thing....No one in the UK ever sees real serious 35C (ten days straight of harsh heat). And if it were 35 to 37 C.....they'd be falling over in the dirt, or thrashing around in some kiddie-pool.
But I should note this....once you start to make daily use of rich colorful graphical displays....as each day advances from 20C being bright red....25C needs to be even brighter, and 30C needs to be super red. The same logic should apply as it drops....where 15C is bright red....then 10C should be bright red....then even 2C should be bright red.
