Default A degree of hype

Same here Tudor in Basildon, its now 15.00 and its just reached 29.3 Deg C
in the shade with a light easterly breeze.
We saw all this hype during the winter forecasts and I am sure its all this
health & safety legislation that drags this country down. Cant even buy a
good flykiller anymore and even the weedkillers dont seem to be as effective
in the garden.
It never mattered in 76, so why now???

Regards. Len.

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.
