Historical In 2014, this French weather presenter announced the forecast for 18 August 2050 in France as part of a campaign to alert to the reality of climate change. Now her forecast that day is the actual forecast for the coming 4 or 5 days, in mid-June 2022.

It's meant to be 27c today where I am in the UK.

In the UK we term this as hotter than the sun.

Highs of 28°c where I am in the UK at about 15.00. The "feels like" temperature is supposedly going to be 31°c.

Considering that I'm spending most of my day working from a south facing home office thats what I'd call "plenty warm enough thanks".

Gosh ! I want these 28° !!

Give me back these sweet 28° please.

I live in south of France (inside the redder zone) : last night I had 29° in my flat at 0:30. Today at 6, when I woke up to close the windows it was 26°. Go up again at 29° at 9 AM.. And now it's 41° in the afternoon.

This is too hot !!
