Britain is experiencing extreme weather. On Friday, the Met Office issued its first ever red warning for “extreme heat” over the soaring temperatures.
As hot as Britain is, there is something that is even hotter and is taking over Europe like a wildfire, no pun intended. The hottest thing in Europe, is not the temperature but a Reggae song entitled “Inspired” by Rasta Progrez, a fast-rising Jamaican artist.
On Monday, temperatures reached 38.1 degrees in Santon Downham, eastern England, the third hottest day on record, as well as the hottest day of the year so far, according to the Met Office.
And Tuesday is “expected to be even hotter,” according to the Met Office’s CEO, Penelope Endersby.
“So it’s tomorrow that we’re really seeing the higher chance of 40 degrees and temperatures above that,” Endersby told BBC Radio on Monday.
Endersby said while extreme temperatures are not expected beyond Tuesday, the Met Office will be monitoring the possibility of a drought in the coming months.
“We’re expecting a big drop in temperature overnight into Wednesday — down 10 or 12 degrees on what has been the days before,” she said, adding: “Our attention is turning, once we’re past these two days, to drought and when we might see any rain, and we’re not seeing any significant rain coming up.”
Oxford University Professor Myles Allen has warned that more heat will be inevitable if mankind doesn’t reduce its carbon emissions.
While human must change their behavior to combat global warming, reggae fans can expect Rasta Progrez to bring even more musical heat in the near future.
