20 Posts To Show The Hellish, Record-Breaking Heatwave Happening Right Now In The UK

"It's on fire." "The road is melting; the traffic lights are melting; everything is melting." The UK is undergoing the hottest summer in history, with the average temperature soaring over 40C. Maybe this is not even a thing in some other places where the temperature can hit nearly 50C during summer. But in the UK, a country famous for rains and drizzling weather conditions, this 40C hits harsher than ever.
The government urges residents not to venture outside. Authorities warn against using public transport. Dozens of schools shut their doors, and hospitals cancel nonessential procedures. It looks like everyone is getting prepared for an apocalyptic event because it is. This record-breaking heatwave draws lots of attention. In a few days, people can see just the sun all over the news. Well, we bet they miss their rainy days now.
Brits are sharing how they are dealing with this hellish heatwave. And some of their reactions are so funny that we think you'll like to read them. So, scroll down to check them out in the list below.
