Our 12 favourite reactions to the European heatwave
There’s a heatwave right across Europe, with the weather maps coming up the same colour as Mark Francois’ face when someone tells him the Royals are part German, and it’s proving difficult to handle for the residents of the UK and Ireland. Luckily, they’re responding with humour, rather than going on a killing spree.

#Heatwave Status: Underboob not so much "sweating" as "developing its own rivulets which are currently being incorporated into ordnance survey maps for the Leaving Certificate Geography Exam 2020"

Why do they put 3 settings on fans?! Who the fuck gets a fan and goes "yeah, I'm hot, but a level 1 hot, so let's not go mad". #heatwave

I'm going on a very overdue holiday tomorrow and I've just found out it'll be hotter in the UK on Saturday than it will be where I'm going. The only way to feel good about this is to pretend I've spent money just to make sure I'm not on the Central Line.

Have to say, the only way I can describe the temperature on the RER earlier is that Satan himself appeared and said “want a lift mate?”

Star Trek legend, George Takei, used the heatwave to take a swipe at climate-change deniers.
With that record setting heat wave in India and now one smothering much of Europe, I have to commend the Chinese on the impressive extent of their climate hoax.
