Good Morning Britain weather presenter Laura Tobin denied she was scaremongering as she issued a 'national emergency' warning on the potentially record breaking temperatures for Monday and Tuesday.
On Friday, the GMB star predicted 'hundreds if not thousands' of fatalities as many parts of the UK get set to see temperatures well in excess of 30 degrees, with central and western locations even tipped to experience conditions of 40 degrees plus, which would beat the existing UK record of 38.7.
Laura and other TV meteorologists have come in for criticism from viewers over the last few days, with critics saying the high temperature s are 'just summer,' and that people should be take advantage of the hot weather without concern. However, a defiant Laura hit out she was causing unnecessary panic, as temperatures were predicted to be even higher than when she delivered her forecast before the weekend.
