This is a serious condition in which the body produces or absorbs more heat than it can dissipate.The heat-regulating mechanisms become overwhelmed and unable to deal effectively with the heat As a result the body’s temperature climbs uncontrollably. Official figures showed there were more than 2,000 excess deaths in England. In continental Europe, more than 27,000 people died because of the heat.The biggest danger is of heat stroke or sunstroke, an advanced state of hyperthermia (not to be confused with hypothermia, caused by excessive cold). But when it gets this hot, our bodies are sure to suffer.
Stifling temperatures cause nothing more than discomfort to most but for some they can be lethal.
The heatwave of August 2003 showed that very warm weather can be a killer. The Meteorological Office has confirmed that the threshold for the Government’s Heatwave Plan – 31C – has been reached in the South-east and is very likely to be reached in other parts of England and Wales over the next few days. Official advice is being dispensed: stay out of the sun; keep your home as cool as possible (shutting windows during the day may help, opening them at night when it is cooler); eat cold food and drink plenty of water.

Al Yeganeh, the irascible New York chef who routinely refuses to serve customers he dislikes, and was immortalised in an episode of the US hit comedy Seinfield, plans to open 50 Original SoupMan franchises in the UK.

Kear would be unlikely to commit himself beyond the end of this season. “But it would be fair to say that I’m interested,” he said.Wakefield are still hoping to bring in the former Cronulla hooker Tevita Latu for the rest of the season, provided he can delay a community service order imposed for breaking a woman’s nose in Sydney.Clinton Toopi will join Leeds for the latter stages of this season. “It was either changing the coach or changing the players and it’s obviously difficult to change the playing staff.”It looks increasingly likely that Smith’s successor will be Kear, who was sacked from his job at Hull earlier this season.
