Hot Stuff

This Friday (17th June) is predicted to be, thus far, the hottest day of the year in deepest Wales. Temperatures are scheduled to reach 30 degrees Centigrade, before being rapidly replaced by violent thunder storms (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-61800650?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA). The news has created the usual media excitement. People have been warned of the potential health hazards of a hot spell to the very young, the aged, people with underlaying health conditions and pet animals. These 'Welsh' temperatures look, however, relatively feeble when compared to the 50 degree Centigrade values predicted for parts of France and Spain. Sadly, I remember the days when a 'hot spell' was anticipated as something wholly pleasureable.
