Britain ‘melted’ due to scorching heat, all records broken, increased risk of train derailment [TKB World]

The orgy of scorching heat is being seen in Britain. The temperature has crossed 40 degree Celsius for the first time. On Tuesday, the temperature in South West London reached 40.2. Now the torture of this heat was also seen when the temperature reached 39 degrees in Surrey in south-east England. Never before today has the mercury soared in Britain that high.

The situation is so dire that the Meteorological Department has issued a warning that in the coming days, instead of relief from the heat, its torture may increase further. It has been said that temperatures are being recorded from many parts of the country at different times, so the actual figure could be much bigger. Surprisingly, at this time the night temperature in London is also being recorded at 26 degree Celsius. The weather of London is mostly cold or pleasant at night, but this year it has seen a big change.

The current situation is going on such that the Meteorological Department has to issue a red alert for many areas due to the scorching heat. Right now, red alert is going on in many areas of North and South London, due to the heat, people’s lives are being threatened. The big thing is that to avoid this scorching heat, five people tried to go to another place along the river, but they all drowned.

This summer orgy is going on in Britain in such a way that people are not only upset, but the transport facility has also collapsed. According to Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, Britain’s rail is not yet advanced enough to tolerate this heat. According to him, to deal with such heat, the railways will have to modernize itself more and it is going to take many years. The Transport Secretary has emphasized that due to the 40 degree Celsius temperature, the temperature of the track also rises to 50, 60 or 70. In such a situation, the danger of derailment of train coaches is high.

Apart from the railways, the effect of this scorching heat is clearly visible at the airport as well. The runway of Luton Airport was affected due to the heat. Similarly, the Royal Air Force also faced technical problems on the runway. The pressure on the hospital and ambulance service also increased, due to the heat wave, the whole system has collapsed. The closure of many schools has also been announced.
