This is an idiotic comment. As a British person, for most of my lifetime it was a shock to get 30+ temperatures in the UK and if you got multiple 30+ days in a row it was newsworthy.

So yes, a 40 degrees C day in the UK is insane news, especially given it's about a degree and a half hotter than the previous all-time record!
