It's so hot, UK needs to start naming heatwaves like we do when it's a bit windy – climate boffins

Don't we have this already?

The high-pressure and low-pressure areas are already named.

The one currently flowing through Europe, bringing the Sahara heat with it, is Yvonne, for example.

That should cause a new record, here in West Germany, with over 40,5°C tomorrow, we had around 38°C yesterday and it feels warmer at the moment, so it could well exceed 40°C here.
