It's called Summer and sometimes it does get hot believe it or not, nanny state.

Oh bog off Jarrett! There's always one who say's 'it's called summer'. However, it's not summer yet - that starts in June. And, temperatures are expected to break the record for May temperatures, which was set in 1922. By all definitions, this is unprecedentedly hot and, therefore, newsworthy.
