Across the UK, across continental North America and around the world, on the internet by webcast

and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes and this is the unexplained.

Well, the heatwave continues in the UK.

Her temperatures in the high 20s, early 30s on some days here.

And we're having a little bit of a lull in it temperatures down a little on recent days,

but as I record this, the newspapers are telling me some of them anyway that we're going

to get 40 degrees at times during August.

Now in a built-out area like London, 40 degrees is not fun.

Back in 2003, I can remember getting to 43 degrees at Heathrow Airport here, which is

not too far away from me.

And it was so hot I remember taking a deck chair to sit in the local park at 9 o'clock

at night, because my apartment was so hot, it was just impossible to be in it or sleep

in it or do anything in it or think in it.

So let's hope we're not headed back in that direction.

As much as I like warm weather, you can have too much of a good thing.

Thank you very much for your recent emails.

I'm going to do some shout outs very, very soon here.

A lot of emails from new people discovering the show and I'm very, very grateful.

Please keep spreading the word about what we're doing here, but we'll get on to that.

On this edition of the show, thanks to Sue, my listener, who sent me the tapes of a couple

of shows that had disappeared and been lost from my radio days with this show.

And we're going to hear the hybrid story.
