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.

Very, very weird weather in Europe, they've had temperatures up to 47-ish degrees Celsius down in Italy,

North Africa too, in Spain, at nearing 50 degrees I think, that's like 110-120 degrees Fahrenheit.

So they're baking, meanwhile up here in Blighty as we call it, the United Kingdom,

the weather changes almost every couple of minutes, I look up at the sky one minute this week,

and it's either bright or it's very dull, occasionally it rains, rather like tropical rain that goes very quickly

and it is humid throughout.

And at the moment, they're trying to tell me the temperature is about 24-23 maybe Celsius,

something like low 70s Fahrenheit, but because of that humidity that really gets you,

it just feels a lot worse than that, so that's me.

Now if I don't sound entirely like me, whatever that is, I've had this problem with my throat all week

that I think is to do with hay fever, I'm bunged up with all kinds of stuff.

Let's not put too fine a point on that, and I've been coughing all the way through the week,

so my voice is a little bit weaker than normal, I'm driving it as much as I can to get through all of this,

but just in case you notice that something sounds a little different, it does, and that's why.

This edition of the show, I'm going to play you the first hour of my radio show from last week,

because a lot of people have been saying that they didn't get it, they didn't hear it, they can't find it.

So what I'm going to do is offer it here.

The various, we do them in what they call segments.

There are three segments to this show, and I'm just going to tap them together,

and the segments are Nick Pope, UFO update first.
