If there is one thing which gets us talking in the UK it’s the weather so to celebrate the heatwave we've put together a list of things that always happen during a Great British heatwave.

Everyone complains about being too hot!

**

A brolly is still an essential item (it's Britain after all)

The Pimms comes out. (Nothing spells summer time better than a ice-cold Pimms!)

**

You realise you can't find your designer sunglasses (well it's been that long since you saw the sun) so you have to buy cheap new ones

**

Half of the population walk round with unfortunate tan lines (don't forget the suncream!)

**

That one person at work who constantly says "It's hot isn't it?" every five minutes

** People compare the temperature to a tropical country (“Wait… the temperature is warmer than Barbados?!”)

You finally get over the heat and find yourself praying for rain!

Enjoy the sun whilst it lasts!
