Britain to roast in heatwave hotter than Rio, Ibiza and Jamaica

[super jumbe]

Parts of the UK will be hotter than Rio, Ibiza and Jamaica this week with temperatures set to soar to a sweltering 32?C. Starting on Tuesday 23 August temperatures will rise from the high 20s before peaking on Thursday.

London is expected to be the warmest part of the country and be hotter than parts of Brazil, Spain and the Caribbean.

Temperatures in Rio, where the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games was held on Sunday 21 August, will be cool in comparison rising from 21?C on Tuesday to 23?C on Thursday.

Ibiza will bask in temperatures around the 30?C mark all week while Kingston, Jamaica, will be cooler than parts of the UK with the mercury reaching 31?C by the end of the week.

Rail operators in the capital have already warned commuters to carry water with them on their journeys and emergency services are prepared for more call outs to weather-related incidents.

"Through the week ahead, we will see warmer temperatures across many southern areas of the UK as we draw in warm air from the continent," a Met Office spokesperson said.

Why call it a "heat wave" when it starts on Tuesday and fizzles out by Friday, but what happened to the 3 months of hot, sunny weather we were going to have from around May, and the heatwave we were going to have couple of weeks ago, are the wages paid to these weather forecasters justified???

Always said it you need a degree in comedy to be a weather forecaster because they can't tell the weather from one day to the next. Even with the ?97 million supercomputer that makes the uk a world leader in weather and climate science. 28th October 2014
