Parts of Britain will have a heatwave today and tomorrow, forecasters say.So it's going to be hot for two days, and the Met Office thinks it is its place to warn the braindead it spoonfeeds that these two days of heat may be dangerous for some of us.
Temperatures could top 90F (32C) across East Anglia, the East Midlands, and the South East.
The Met Office has warned of dangers for the very old, the very young, and those with chronic conditions.
Of course all chronic conditions are aggravated by two days of heat, and no one with a relevant chronic condition realises that two hot days in a row may be dangerous for them.
Patronising, expensive, bad at their job.
Just give us accurate forecasts and go away.

Yup, where I live in sheltered accommodation, on Friday our Warden received 'guidance' for the elderly on how to combat the predicted heatwave by drinking lots of cold water, wearing loose fitting clothing etc etc.
70 years of age and I have some 20/30 year old telling me how to get dressed.....
Sheesh!
WfW - you may be of genteel upbringing but you should not be averse to uttering the good old 20/30 year old stopper-in-their-tracks expression - namely Fuck off.
There was no heatwave where I live, Complete Fail!! Even with multimillion pound computers they got it wrong again and it has been much colder than usual for this time of year, on the 27th it was so cold that around 9am you could see your own breath.
I'll be preparing for an extremely cold winter no matter what the met office predictions are.
in early 2011 It was that bad here that our water pipes froze for 3-4 weeks.
In Northern Ireland the lough Neagh froze over, the largest lake in the Uk and Ireland froze over, not much was made out of that in the media but an event like that usually means that if it's a sign of things to come it's going to get very cold no matter what the data says, and the data looks fake/wrong or inaccurate to me, to be honest.
