Phew! Devon Scorches

In South Devon and Exeter the temperature reached 24C (75F), hotter than Rome.
Staycationers have been alerted to a real barbecue summer in the offing by a private weather service which got last year’s washout just about right. Unlike Exeter’s Met Office which predicted … a barbecue summer.
How the Aussies must laugh.
