BBC Breakfast viewers have complained after what one person termed "hysterical" reporting. Slamming the heatwave weather report, social media users aired their views.
The morning show was hosted by Rachel Burden and Ben Thompson, who went on to introduce weather presenter Louise Lear for the forecast on Monday, July 18. Louise was sharing news of the heatwave and impending potential record-breaking temperatures.
Louise said: "I'm going to start off with what we had as a maximum yesterday. We actually had 29 degrees in London yesterday (July 17) and when I was walking around in the afternoon, it was too hot for me by then.
