Met Office CEO Penelope Endersby released a video warning people to stay out of the sun. Separately the UK Health Security Agency issued a Level 4 national emergency heat health alert. Meteorologist John Hammond told GB News that the weather could be lethal leading to thousands of excess deaths. The Caretaker UK Government held an emergency COBRA meeting.
This heatwave hysteria was of course overcooked, in this post-pandemic world there is a new constituency who clamor for moire nanny state measures and bureaucrats and technocrats in governments who would love more power and control.

Conservative backbencher John Hayes said the heatwave panic was the result of a cowardly new world with snowflakes melting in the heat.
The final five UK Conservative Party MPs for Prime Minister are Rishi Sunak, Penny Mordaunt, Liz Truss, Tom Tugendhat, and Kemi Badenoch.
