27 hot takes on whatever’s going on with the weather
The UK and Ireland have been experiencing mixed weather – same as usual, really – with temperatures so high there’s a health warning in place, punctuated by thunderstorms and torrential downpours.
In short, if you go to the beach for a bit of sea air – floating sewage notwithstanding – be prepared for the tide to come in a lot faster than you expected – from above.
And remember, when you pose for selfies – don’t forget to say “CLIMATE CHANGE!”.
Tweeters have been making their feelings known.

Due to slightly warmer weather forecast for the UK, all officers will be patrolling in their air-conditioned cars & will only venture out on foot in case of emergencies#Heatwave

Went to the supermarket to get some cat food and honestly it's so cool and dark in here and so hot and bright outside I think I live here now. I'm going to clear some space behind the smoothies in the refrigerated aisle and have a nap.

Lying near an open window listening to a thunderstorm is one of the greatest pleasures in life. Along with the very slight cooler breeze it’s brought with it. pic.twitter.com/PFfsF8aWRz
