Here's some other Brits giving their view of the breathless heat wave news casting, this being the Spiked Online podcast on "The rise of heatwave hysteria". They notice that at least the advisors of the UK government were planning to use the SARS2 pandemic and the accompanying public scare to get people to go along with more stringent climate-related measures "since they have been prepared for stringent measures anyway so we should not waste this opportunity" [1,2,3]. Never let a good crisis go to waste, once again.
Anecdotal evidence from Sweden and Nice/Cannes shows that they are on to something as both the northern (20°C, rain ever other day) as well as southern (around 30°C with a thunderstorm every now and then) summer weather is nothing out of the ordinary.
