Is there too much information out there and being fed to us?
The headlines can be alarming and sometimes greatly exaggerated.
I know the Met Office don’t want to fall into the Michel Fish trap (There will be no hurricane ) but are the warnings and forecasts too much?
For instance a Google headline this morning
UK weather maps show 7C chill set to end heatwave with 25 counties below 10C
Met Office forecasters expect heatwave conditions to send temperatures soaring as high as 35C this week, but weather models suggest the mercury could soon drop to 7C
7 C - if only!
But along with this
UK weather maps turn volcanic red for 34C scorcher - 10 regions above 30C at 6pm
Brits braced for 'three-month summer sizzler' as 40.3C all-time high set to be smashed
Heatwave forecasts of the ‘Scorchio’ variety can send some people into a house-insulating tizzy causing worry and stress way ahead of the event.
I know we obsess about the weather in the UK but the media have a lot to answer for.
