People have been tweeting about the UK’s first red weather warning – 26 hot favourites
You’ll be well aware of the heatwave gripping, well – the world. Wildfires are breaking out across Europe, and the UK is on standby for it’s hottest day on record, possibly climbing as high as 40 degrees, bringing a severe risk to health.
Some people remain sceptical about the red weather warning. Oddly, a lot of the same people who were sceptical about masks and vaccines.
Even the Deputy Prime Minister, Dominic Raab, suggested people should be resilient and enjoy the weather, as he warned schools not to close for the health and safety of pupils and staff.

Most people, however, accepted that it’s a bad thing to have temperatures at or approaching 40 degrees.
These tweeters had the hot takes.

The entire scientific world: The Earth is getting dangerously hotter and threatens our very existence
Dave936 on Twitter: I was 9 in 1976 and I remember it being hot. There’s nothing to worry about, have an ice cream

Heatwaves should not be covered with kids eating ice cream or romping around in fountains. Cover extreme heat as a threat not a vacation. We don't cover the approach of a hurricane as great potential kite flying weather

A wee note on the heatwave from me, an unqualified Meteorologist.
• Don’t leave kids, dogs or Curly Wurlies in cars.
• Leave out some dishes of water for hedgehogs, foxes, birds and any burglars that may be prowling your gardens.
• Place a Solero under each armpit.

Trying to explain to my dog that we can't go for a walk right now because his legs will melt and he is just looking at me like I have sentenced him to prison for life.

this official advice for tomorrow and Tuesdays 40° #heatwave to "do as little as possible" is all very well but I do that every day

Please spare a thought today for all those climate change deniers desperately hoping that the UK's temperature records won't be broken later on so they can dismiss the whole thing is project fear. They have feelings too. pic.twitter.com/7nEuQyug87

“I was perfectly alright playing outside in the 1976 heatwave” is this year’s “You’re not going to catch me wearing a face mask”, isn’t it? #heatwave pic.twitter.com/M98tvSKEqN
