Every year, we're experiencing record-breaking heat, pretty much.

Our country just isn't prepared for this level of heat.

There's also a phenomenon happening called El Niño.

It turbocharges heat waves.

It's predicted to be a super El Niño.

If the El Niño hits, we're likely to have very hot summer next year.

Well, it was record overnight.

So it's very, very rare that we get anything up to 20 degrees.

It was just nearly 20 degrees in London last night.

Yes, Northern Europe here.

So France is also baking at the moment.

We're stuck in a pressure system which is sucking in hot air from Africa.

So we have this kind of heat dome over us at the moment.

It's going to take a while to dissipate up until the end of next week.

Not at the moment.
