Brits Brace for Meltdown Monday as 30°C Heatwave Grips UK
Amidst a severe heatwave across Northern India where temperatures have soared above 50 degrees Celsius, a UK-based outlet, The Mirror, reported on X that the UK is set to experience a 26°C heatwave lasting 48 hours, with five cities in England expected to be the hottest. The post quickly went viral, prompting humorous reactions from Indian users who contrasted the mild UK temperatures with their own scorching conditions. One user joked, “My AC is currently set at UK heatwave level.”
UK feels hotter in India (due to humidity)
Another user on X humorously questioned how the British managed to govern India given the mild weather conditions they experienced. Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan remarked, “That is just two degrees above the default air conditioning setting in India. A pleasant weather it seems.” Adding to the humor, another user quipped, “Mumbaikars call it winter.”
However, amidst the jest, a few users took to X to clarify the stark difference between 26 degrees Celsius in the UK and India. One user pointed out, “26 degrees in the UK feels more like 40-42 degrees. It is not comparable to Mumbai’s weather.”
UK heatwave coming in June
According to The Mirror’s report, current temperatures in the UK are set to rise, approaching 30°C by the end of June. London, Cardiff, Manchester, Birmingham, and Newcastle are anticipated to experience the highest temperatures as a heatwave sweeps across Britain from June 26 to 28.
