由于西班牙热浪的影响,今年英国将提前开启酷暑模式。本周可能攀升至35度以上,或将打破35.6℃的最高温记录,成为有史以来最炎热的六月。
英国上一次达到这样的高温已经是在近50年前——1976年6月28日在南安普敦创下的记录。
还没去英国的留学生们或许对此有些不理解,夏天35度也能上新闻?
这是由于英国的海洋性气候突出,夏季通常为20度左右的气温,早在2013年气温达到31℃时,9天内“热死”的人数达到了540-760人。欧洲热浪来袭的2003年,英国至少2000人因高温丧生,法国更达1.5万人。
本月,英国女王登基70周年庆典现场甚至有5名皇家仪仗兵因20℃的“高温”晕倒。
热死人数如此之多的一个原因是空调。在英国,空调相对来说并不常见,大多数留学生公寓也没有安装空调。根据BBC的数据,只有0.5%的家庭安装了空调。
英国的地铁里通常也是没有安装空调的,在2013年英国民众就强烈要求政府在地铁上加装空调,然而伦敦交通局表示为了环保,不装空调。
英国民众也只能这样安慰自己:“热归热,我们也是为了防止这世界变得更热。”
2018年伦敦交通局终于松口表示:“空调包在我身上,2030年就能搞定!”
没想到一向效率低下的英国人竟然超前完成任务,上月24日通车的女王线就配备了带空调的现代化车厢,不仅解决了部分民众夏季出行问题,也带动了周边房产的房价上升。
同时,英国人酷爱晒太阳的习惯也是一个诱因。每当出太阳时英国各大公园的草坪上就如雨后蘑菇般“长满了”英国人,海边更是成了“下饺子”现场。
每逢盛夏,英国的手持小风扇就成了热门脱销产品,淘宝9.9都嫌多的小风扇在亚马逊竟卖出了19.99磅(已优惠8磅)的高价。
即将前往英国的留学生们也可以带上一把小风扇以备不时之需。
对于今年的高温预警,英国人却是持怀疑态度,伦敦今日的气温仅有12-24℃。
《泰晤士报》的调查数据显示,74%的英国人都认为国家气象局的天气预报不可信... 反观英国气象局留下的黑历史,也不怪英国民众不相信他们的预报。
2009年时,英国气象局曾经预测当年夏季特别适合户外烧烤,备好烧烤用具的英国民众最后在高温下集体中暑。2010年气象局没有预测到持续的暴雪,导致交通一度陷入瘫痪,部分英国房产门口的柏油楼梯都热化了。
