UK weather: Brits face mega 27C heat burst in just days that's hotter than Ibiza as maps turn red
Britain is set to experience warm conditions next week as temperatures climb up to 27C, making parts of the UK hotter than Ibiza.
While the country won't face an official heatwave based on Met Office's standards, forecasters said "a very fine spell of weather" is on the way. The highest recorded April temperature was back in 1949, when Camden Square in London recorded 29.4C on April 16 - and Wednesday's expected highs of 27C will be less than 2C lower than that.
Ah - so in spite of the headline, it is not quite a 'mega 27C heat burst'. The weather is forecast to be pleasant rather than 'mega', not a heatwave and not likely to break records. It's just expected to be 'a very fine spell of weather' - which won't last.
It would be a good idea to avoid turning the maps red too, they could burst out of mega alarming colours.

Perhaps we could (quietly) speak of the Climate Change Blessing?
Quietly, because there are some that are irrecoverably wedded to the doom and gloom of Climate Change Crisis and they don't respond well to the slightest criticism.
DJ - that's the aspect which makes the doom claims so silly, modest warming and more atmospheric CO2 are beneficial.
"The highest recorded April temperature was back in 1949, when Camden Square in London recorded 29.4C on April 16"
I wonder what the BBC and the papers had to say about that? There was, in those days, no way of producing the "deep hell red" to inform the public of the peril they were in. Gad, perhaps they even thought it was just a pleasantly warm spring day!
Sam - they may have published a picture of a chap without his waistcoat or a lady walking in the park with a parasol to highlight what a pleasant change it was for April.
In weather forecasts "fine" meant that it wouldn't rain. So what does "very fine" mean?
Camden Square, an urban heat island no less!
dearieme - maybe 'very fine' means they have added a little more red to the chart.
djc - it is, maybe that wasn't mentioned because they still use it.
