4 years ago, Naked woman struts in London street to beat UK heatwave as temps hit 38C

A NAKED woman was spotted strutted through the streets of London as the UK roasted in a record breaking 38C heatwave.

Social media users were stunned when a video was shared of the lady walking in the buff amid the heatwave in east London.

The video – which was shared yesterday – shows the nude woman walking through an estate.

She is wearing nothing but her shoes and appears to be shouting at a man who is walking away in the clip.

It has been viewed 151,000 times on the social media platform.

There also appears to be a tissue of some sort attached to her bum, which blows of in the wind.

Twitter user @justchibz shared the video with the caption: “Only in east London. I hate ends sometimes.”

Social media fans have been largely confused by the video with lots questioning what exactly is going on

@cmizzy1 simply commented “Wtf” to which Chibz stated “Bro i was as confused as u are”

Today, the UK has seen its hottest July day and second hottest day on record as the mercury hit 38.1C.

Forecasters said the new record in Cambridge outstripped the previous high for the month of 36.7C (98.06F) set at Heathrow in July 2015.

It makes Thursday the second hottest UK day on record, also beating the 37.1C recorded in August 1990, Met Office figures show.

And it is possible that the all-time UK record of 38.5C (101.3F) recorded in Faversham, Kent, in August 2003, could be broken on Thursday, the Met Office said.

Sweltering temperatures could spark thundery downpours, with a yellow warning for thunderstorms issued for most of England except the South West, and parts of Scotland until 4am on Friday.

The storms could lead to flash flooding, disruption of train and bus services and even power cuts.

Experts at the Met Office say the current weather pattern is driving hot air from the south, but there is "no doubt" climate change is playing a role in driving what could be unprecedented temperature highs.

Some areas experienced a "tropical night" on Wednesday night, with the temperatures staying above 20C in spots such as St James's Park, central London, Wattisham, in Suffolk, and Cromer, in Norfolk.

Dr Michael Byrne, from Oxford University, said that if Thursday became the hottest day on record in the UK it would be "hugely significant", but just the latest in a "torrent" of temperature records being broken in the last month.

"Not only has 2019 brought the world its hottest ever June, but in recent days countries from Belgium to the Netherlands to Germany have broken their all-time heat records. It has never been hotter in northern Europe," he said.

"Such extreme heat poses serious health risks this week as well as uncomfortable questions about how well the UK is preparing for increasingly frequent and severe heatwaves over coming decades."

The Government's advisory Committee on Climate Change has warned the UK is not prepared for the increase in heatwaves that is expected with global warming.
