The Meteorological Office predicts that temperatures will rise, possibly to record levels, in south-east England at the beginning of next week. There is obviously a risk to those of us whose temperature regulation deteriorates with age. So one trusts that Londoners will look out for elderly neighbours when the heatwave strikes. However, there is another threat, that of public disorder which often occurs during unbearably hot weather. Met. Police should recall that the Tottenham Riots broke out during a heatwave.
