It’s going to be a scorcher in Britain today, with temperatures forecast to hit 29c. Naturally, lots of people will be throwing open their doors to bask in the warmth and sunshine, loving every moment of this summery spell. Lots of people, but not all people.

This isn’t a hot take: the truth is that I hate a lot about summer, so I’m not wild about this week’s heat.
