That guy should've stayed with the Carry On films instead of going into
weather forecasting.


Guess what's happened is an old forecast for last(?) summer got picked
up by accident. Else why the chat about August?

Judging by the temperature record quoted, the story ought to date from before 2003!

Given that the date records for the next two weeks are in the low/mid
20s surely not even the most frenzied forecaster would predict 32C which
would of course be completely impossible during that time period. 32C
isn't first reached until May 22nd!

Is every article that ever appeared in the Daily Mail perhaps still
available on their website? Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a
date attached to it. From the final bit

"The heatwave follows some of the worst weather the UK has seen for
centuries after severe floods earlier this year."

I'd guess that it probably originally appeared at some point in summer
2014.

I bit the bullet and clicked on the link.
It's dated 12:08 26 July 2001
Would never have guessed they had an online version 17 yrs ago.
