HEATWAVE COULD BREAK JULY RECORDS-OUTRAGEOUS!

I am giving serious consideration to wearing a pair of small yet sturdy briefs today, instead of my usual longjohns.

I may even go outdoors without my cotton vest.

Personally, I blame GW Bush and Yo Blair.




HEATWAVE COULD BREAK JULY RECORDS

Britain is preparing for the hottest day of the year with temperatures forecast to reach 36C (96.8F).
Monday and Tuesday have already seen the two hottest days so far, with temperatures of up to 33.2C (91.8F).

Forecasters say the top temperatures will be in the west of London, north of Bristol and south of Birmingham but showers are coming from the South West.

It is set to be the hottest July day since 1911, when temperatures reached 36C (97F) in Epsom, Surrey.

British temperatures this week have topped such holiday destinations as Athens, Bermuda, Rio de Janeiro and Rome.

Forecasters expect a bank of showers coming in from the South West to cool things down on Wednesday night and into Thursday, but the weekend should still be very warm.

The highest UK temperature ever recorded was 38.5C (101.3F) in Faversham, Kent, on August 10, 2003..............
