Hello ladies and gentlemen. The weather is lovely and warm, finally, and here's what we Brits say 👇😎🇬🇧

- baking
- boiling
- roasting
- sweltering
- scorching ( a scorcher)
- sizzling (like when frying hot food)
- I spent the day under the umbrella because it was baking and i needed to protect my sensitive bald head. 👴
- I sat all day under the scorching sun... hence why i now look like a dried grape.
- The weather forecast says tomorrow will be an absolute scorcher. So it's bikini time!!! - Yeah, I heard it's going to be sweltering tomorrow, blin!
