As an Aussie who has been in the UK for some 20 years the old jokes about British heatwaves have certainly taken on a more sombre tone... *"oh, haha, yeah, that climate collapse hey... how about it! Show me to the beach!"*
No, it isn't a joke any more really is it.
Fucking look at it out there.
It looks like the summers I grew up with in Australia.
Everything is brown.
Shit's dying.
Shit's on fire.
We're categorically fucked. (Not just the UK obviously.)
