My views on heatwaves are well known

and can be summarised best by the sort of reaction that a Big Brother housemate displays when they are told that they are two timing with someone’s girlfriend, but there are times when common sense regarding heatwaves just goes out of the window. Take a look at this map which shows the forecast highs for tomorrow (Tuesday, June 20th 2017)

Maximum Temperatures on Tuesday

That map indicates that the temperature in my nearest town of Aberystwyth will be as warm as the eastern coast of England, so kindly explain why North East Lincolnshire council has this on their website How to stay safe in a heatwave and yet when it comes to Wales the following is announced “Heatwaves in Wales do not exist”. Yes, that’s correct, according to the Welsh Government heatwaves do not exist in Wales. Well, it just so happens that the Welsh Assembly is meeting tomorrow in Cardiff Bay (forecast maximum tomorrow: 84°F) and I am tempted during the meeting tweeting every single AM asking “Could you ask the minister if Wales is experiencing a heatwave? #obviousquestion” and would like to know if people would be interested in helping me out in this?
