Yellow Alert, Yellow Alert!

We Brits always like to moan about our weather. Indeed, someone described the country as currently being 'a banana republic, with poor weather'. Folk have resolutely moaned about the UK's 'poor' July and August weathers. At least there were no 'newsworthy' wildfires! Now, however, a Yellow Health Alert has been issued for much of England. This Wednesday and Thursday, temperatures could reach 32 degrees Centigrade (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/sep/04/uk-weather-yellow-heat-warning-across-most-of-england-as-temperatures-to-hit-32c). England's Wednesday/Thursday temperatures would make the country 4 degrees higher than either Cyprus or Ibiza. The excitement won't, however, last, as average temperatures are expected to return by the middle of next week. Remember, Brits, climate change simply means the weather gets even less predictable. There'll be even more to moan about.
