Default A degree of hype

Rod McElwee said on the 1255 pm R4 forecast that he expected
37°C somewhere in the Midlands or Welsh borders tomorrow (Wednesday),
much as he did yesterday. I can't help feeling this hot spell has been
somewhat overdone by the forecasters and have thought so for several
days. Today's temperatures, according to the latest METARs, are more
or less the same as yesterday's and nowhere near 37°. I can't see
where the sudden upward leap for tomorrow is going to come from.
Thickness values are forecast to decrease slightly and the continent is
not exceptionally hot.
