Part of the forest that inspired A. A. Milne's children's classic Winnie the Pooh has been burnt to a crisp in a horrible wildfire.
According to the Metro, the damage was done by two separate blazes that started at within an hour of each other in east Sussex.
At least 35 hectares have been affected in the area affectionately known as Hundred Acre Wood in the children's books, however that number could climb higher once a full assessment is done.
The unseasonably warm weather combined with drier than usual conditions created the perfect storm for the fire to do as much damage as possible.
A fire fighter has told the Sun that they believe the blaze was accidental and wasn't the work of an arsonist. That will later be confirmed when assessors are sent into the area to determine the exact cause.
The fire service has released a statement saying: "The first fire began at 12.31pm at Nutley and the "stop" message been received at 19.42, marking the end of the firefighting operation with crews leaving the area shortly afterwards.
"The fire has been deemed accidental.
"The second began at Hartfield at 13.37 on 26 Feb 2019 and the 'stop' message was received at 19.02. The scene has been left with the Forest Rangers.
"The cause of this fire has not been confirmed at this time.
"Members of the public are being asked to be extra careful while enjoying the outdoors."
After recording the hottest February day in absolutely ages in Scotland (since 1897, in case you're wondering), it now appears Northern Wales, North Devon, and parts of Cumbria could see temperatures upwards of the 18.3C recorded in Aberdeen last week.
As the week wears on it's going to cool down. Forecasters reckon that the weather will start to turn today, and we'll all be plunged back to where we expect to be at this time of the year.
Oh well.
It's probably music to hayfever sufferers noses as the hot temperatures are a nightmare for them.
According to a hay fever expert - which is totally a thing - the good weather could kickstart people's symptoms early.
"We are likely to see an early start to the birch pollen season, which affects around 25 percent of hay fever sufferers in the spring," hay fever expert and pollen forecaster Dr Beverley Adams-Groom told the Sun.
"The season usually starts in early April but could start in mid-to-late March this year.
