Longest heat wave ‘in decades’ to hit more than 100million Americans with extreme temperatures

Is there anything more quintessentially British than complaining about the weather? A fortnight ago we were griping that it was too cold. This week we’re grumbling that it’s too hot. We’re basically Goldilocks at this point.During the hot weather the UK has endured this week, I couldn’t help but feel a flicker of guilt every time I bemoaned that my clothes were stuck to my frame with sweat as I travelled on the tube, or that my high-energy Zumba class was nigh-on unbearable in the unaired heat of the local sports centre. What right did I – did any of us...

Extreme heat kills hundreds, millions more sweltering worldwide as summer begins

We will get the first week of July off to a very soggy start as a front stalls in the area, bringing a risk for numerous showers and thunderstorms on Monday evening (more on that shortly). While rain chances back off a little bit Tuesday and Wednesday as the front meanders and weakens, we will get at least a brief break from the advisory-level heat that punctuated the end of June. Rain will keep highs to the upper 80s on Monday, while onshore flow Tuesday helps to keep highs tamped down to the mid-80s. Warming begins again Wednesday, though, with upper 80s yielding to mid-90s on the Fourth of July. We’re in the upper 90s for Friday and the weekend with standard afternoon and evening shower and thunderstorm chances expected.

The week ahead: Soggy start cools us off slightly, but heat will return for the Fourth

 It's as if the sky opened up and dropped everything it had in a matter of minutes.
