    Highest were over 30C regularly in the 1800’s and later a peak under 30C was rare.
    35C is NOT ‘extreme’ for humans or an exceptional temperature.
    Yes it’s hot. But nothing more than that.

      Lets play “How Hot is too hot for Bloomcole”, 30C at 90% humidity? Or hows 40C at 70%? How about 100% humidity?? Nobody has ever died from heat before, everyone has AC!

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
