That means the average temperature for mid-July has risen, the Met Office said, leading to its changes. The Met Office defines a heatwave as at least three consecutive days of temperatures above a certain level. Rising greenhouse gas emissions mean higher temperatures are nowadays more common than they have been over the past two decades.

Digitisation of temperature measurement holds the key to optimising ... (International Environmental Technology)

While larger operators are more likely to be ready for the digital revolution, 95% of the composting plants worldwide employ less than ten people and have ...

The measured temperature values are transmitted automatically and directly to the compoAPP per probe via mobile network, without the need for an external power source or any components in between. Differing mixtures of material, rotting conditions and material development after irrigation can be monitored accurately with a precise knowledge of temperature development. To ensure that hygiene standards are met, the rotting material’s temperature must be recorded at least once every day, to comply with the Biowaste Ordinance (BioAbfVO). In hot rotting, hygenisation requires a temperature of over 55°C preferably for 2 weeks or 65°C over 1 week. Hot rotting requires particularly close attention, because it is used for hygiene and needs continuous monitoring. This waste is sorted at the composting plants and mixed to facilitate natural rotting by microoganisms. Temperature plays a key role in the production of biological fertiliser to ensure hygienic treatment of the waste materials in the process and to achieve quality that is both high in quality and sustainable. Operators of composting plants have been crying out for a precise, reliable and user-friendly instrument to take away the burden of material monitoring. Over the last decade, waste management efficiency has risen by a mere 3 percent, in comparison to manufacturing sector as a whole, which has improved by over 30 percent. The general waste sector needs modernising, while paper and all sorts of paperwork are stillubiquitous to this sector, the chances of errors occurring is high while efficiency is low. It is not a question of reinventing the established technologies. While larger operators are more likely to be ready for the digital revolution, 95% of the composting plants worldwide employ less than ten people and have correspondingly few resources.

Extreme heat warning issued (Met Office)

The Met Office has issued an Amber Extreme heat warning, as temperatures look to build later this week for much of England and Wales.

“Some models have been producing maximum temperatures in excess of 40C in parts of the UK over the coming weekend and beyond. “From Sunday and into Monday, temperatures are likely to be in excess of 35C in the southeast, although the details still remain uncertain. For late in next weekend and early next week, some runs of these models are allowing exceptionally high temperatures to develop, which is something we’ll be monitoring closely and adding details in the coming days. These high temperatures could extend into the early part of next week and an extension of the warning will be considered in the coming days. Temperatures on Tuesday could peak at 33C in the southeast, although there will be more in the way of cloud. Temperatures could be in excess of 35C in the southeast, and more widely around 32C within the warning area.

The Met Office has said the warning is in place from midnight on Sunday to 11.59pm.

“This starts with checking the coolant and oil levels under the bonnet when the engine is cold. We’ll need to do some repair work, notably to a walkway that was damaged in the blaze, and we’re working on a plan for doing that as we speak. A Network Rail spokesperson said: “We were called to a fire on a bridge in Battersea around 0430 this morning, where a wooden beam was alight. It will cool off a little on Friday, with the north-west and north-east of England predicted to have some rain with temperatures reaching highs of 19C, ahead of a warmer weekend. Temperatures are then expected to spike to 32C in Reading and London on Sunday and in excess of 35C in the southeast. “We were able to reopen two of the three tracks on the bridge by around 0630 and all three were open by 0845, following a thorough inspection of the bridge.

What's the most effective way of keeping a hot city cool? (CityMetric)

Shading structures need to be designed so that they do not limit airflow, trapping heat and air pollution in streets. More reflective roofs can reduce a household’s energy bill, as well as the overall temperature of a city. Heat is absorbed during the day and released at night. A building with lots of thermal mass (think sturdy, double-brick home) can be an effective way to keep inside temperatures more stable. On top of that, waste heat from car engines, air-conditioners and other energy use adds to overall air temperatures. The question, then, is what we can do to keep our cities cooler.

UK heatwave: how hot does it have to be for schools to shut? (Essex Live)

Britain looks set to break the record for the hottest day ever as weather forecasts for July have shown temperatures could reach highs of a whopping 40C.

The National Education Union is calling for a maximum temperature of 26C indoors to be set in law. This happened in 2006, when temperatures reached a record high 36C in the UK. Some schools began to send pupils home, while others opted for earlier closing times. Like office workplaces, schools are covered by the same health and safety laws, which specify a lower limit but no maximum.
