  • Delete Article does not establish notability, and I can only find passing references to this heat wave on the internet. The only good source on the article itself is about the 2013 heat wave. The rest of it is Synthesis, as JFG has already noted. – FenixFeather (talk)(Contribs) 22:48, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nomination. No verifiable evidence of notability as an event. Yes, hot weather in Blighty, always a dear subject for small talk. Not in Wikipedia, thanks much. -The Gnome (talk) 21:33, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Don't see much coverage of this. --GRuban (talk) 15:57, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – All "records" set were either previously set (so they weren't records) or were beat within 20 years. No notability demonstrated. Redditaddict69 19:30, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
