| The 2018 heatwave mid-term survival guide Posted: 23 Jul 2018 06:11 AM PDT  Call that a heatwave? The grass may be jaundice yellow, you haven't worn trousers for a month and you risk a £1,000 fine for running a bath (cold, naturally). But according to forecasters this is the week when things really start to heat up. At 9am on Monday the Met Office issued an 'amber heatwave action alert' – the meteorological equivalent of Defcon 2 - meaning temperatures are predicted to hit 30 degrees during the day, and 15 degrees at night, for at least two consecutive days. Britain could see its hottest day of the year so far on Wednesday, beating the 33C (91.4F) recorded at Porthmadog in North Wales on June 28. Looking further ahead there is a 90 per cent probability of heatwave conditions in parts of England, mainly in the south and east, until 9am on Friday. As the mercury continues to rise the precautions most have adopted – ice cream for lunch/white wine for supper – is no longer going to be enough. Consider this your mid-term heatwave survival guide. Youngsters cool off on a beach in Scotland Credit: Corbis news Best places to keep cool? In order to truly cool down you need to engage your inner troglobiont (cave dweller) and think subterranean. Although most emphatically NOT the tube. You will, no doubt, have already realised during the last two blazing months that public transport is no longer your friend. Instead cinemas are a vital tool: look to maximize your time in the dark by seeking out all day horrorthons where the toll of watching half a dozen Night on Elm Streets is more than outweighed by a few hours eating Minstrels in the blissful cool. How to sleep? Naked, obviously, and as far away from anyone you normally share a bed with as possible. Extreme weather befits extreme behaviour so expect if you roll too close to a partner's pillow to be shoved hard off the bed. Actually, sleeping on the floor is recommended by those in the know to avoid warm air currents. 1976 vs 2018 Working day? Obviously in a heat wave nobody really expects you to work. See Britain's parliamentarians currently plotting their longest ever summer recess. The flipside, however, is the office is probably far cooler than your house. Hunker down by the nearest air conditioning unit and pass the day researching paddling pools until things turn clement enough to walk outside. How to protect garden animals? Pity the poor creatures sweltering in your garden without so much as a choc ice to keep them going. For birds fill a large bowl or any container with water to create a makeshift bath. Also make sure you keep feeders topped up as the parched earth makes it harder to dig for worms and slugs. For frogs and other amphibians make sure pond levels do not sink too low and also keep gardens as wild as possible. Don't bother watering the lawn. It's finished. Hosepipe bans in parts of the country are imminent Credit: Getty What to say to your neighbours? You probably will have never spent so long in such close proximity to your neighbours than over the past month. Most lines of polite conversation will have been used up within the first two days of the heatwave and now relations will have curdled into low level hostility at their music taste and shrieking children. With you both needing to occupy your respective gardens for at least the next few weeks keep things civil by restricting conversation to solely about the weather. Whatever you do don't invite them over for a sundowner lest the pent up rage spill over after a couple of strong G&Ts. What to wear? What to wear if you're stuck in the office this summer Women stick to prints and loose cotton; men by this heatwave juncture you will hopefully have grown out of the absurd habit of wearing loafers with no socks. Perhaps not? Remember even as the weather continues to break all previous records one fact remains clear and constant: it is never, ever, acceptable to wear shorts to work.

| Toronto shooting: Two dead and 12 hurt as gunman opens fires in street before being killed in shootout Posted: 23 Jul 2018 04:57 AM PDT  A gunman dressed all in black opened fire on a busy Toronto street, leaving two people dead and another 12 injured - including a young girl. The 29-year-old attacker also died following the rampage in the Canadian city's Greektown district on Sunday night. A video from one witness shows a man dressed in black clothes and a black hat walking quickly and firing three shots from the pavement into at least one restaurant. Witnesses described hearing about 20 shots and the sound of a weapon being reloaded several times. Police said it was too early to provide a motive for the shooting, but local councillor Paula Fletcher said: "It's not gang related. It looks like someone who is very disturbed." Toronto police said 12 people were being treated in hospital, including a nine-year-old girl who was in a critical condition, while a woman and a second person died from their wounds. The gunman, who used a handgun in the attack, died after an exchange of gunfire with police near Danforth and Pape avenues at around 10pm. Toronto police officers near the scene of the shooting on Sunday night Credit: COLE BURSTON /AFP Monica Hudon, a spokeswoman for the province's Special Investigations Unit, said officers found the suspect about three streets away from the scene and exchanged fire. She said the man fled and was then found dead back in Danforth Avenue. It was not immediately clear if the man killed himself or died of injuries after being shot by police. Paramedics, firefighters and police had converged on the shooting in Toronto's east end, which has many popular restaurants, cafes and shops. "We are looking at all possible motives... and not closing any doors," Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders said at the site of the shooting. Jody Steinhauer was at Christina's restaurant with her family when she heard what sounded like 10 to 15 blasts of "firecrackers". "We started to hear people scream out front," Steinhauer told CBC News, adding they were told to stay in the restaurant. People leave an area taped off by police near the scene of a mass shooting in Toronto Credit: CHRIS HELGREN /Reuters Witness John Tulloch said he and his brother had just got out of their car when he heard up to 30 gunshots. "We just ran. We saw people starting to run so we just ran," he said. Ontario Premier Doug Ford tweeted a message of solidarity to the victims. My heart goes out to the victims and loved ones of the horrific act of gun violence in Toronto. Thank you to all the first responders for acting quickly to help everyone affected.— Doug Ford (@fordnation) July 23, 2018 The incident comes amid a spate of more than 200 shootings in Toronto this year. About two dozen have been fatal and city officials have blamed the crime surge on gang violence. But Toronto Councillor Paula Fletcher told CP24 she heard the gunman in Sunday's attack was "emotionally disturbed". "It's not gang related. It looks like someone who is very disturbed," Ms Fletcher said. Police are seen near the scene of the mass shooting in Toronto Credit: CHRIS HELGREN /Reuters Mayor John Tory said the latest attack was "evidence of a gun problem" in Toronto. "Guns are too readily available to too many people," Mr Tory said during a news conference two hours after the shooting. Canada traditionally has relatively low levels of gun violence, particularly compared to the United States. In numbers | US gun violence "We were so use to living in a city where these things didn't happen," Mr Tory said. "But there are things that happen nowadays and they are just unspeakable." Over the weekend, Toronto police deployed dozens of additional officers to deal with the recent rise in gun violence.
