People Are Booking In At Hotels Just For The Air Con Ahead Of Monday And Tuesday Scorcher

However, the account also warned: "Many can't afford that. People and pets will die."

Assad Tannous (@AsennaWealth) said he has already had to move to a hotel with air con in London when it reached highs of 32°C.

"Problem in the UK is hardly anyone has air con," he shared on Twitter.

Ann Chapman (@LeFuzzyOtter) asked for recommendation on hotels with an outdoor pool and air con to stay in until Tuesday as she is 'tempted to hunker down somewhere' while the heat is at its strongest.

While others joked: "Currently Googling 'Hotels with air con near me. I've spent too long down south and gone soft."

"Anyone in London want to go halves on a hotel with aircon Mon and Tues nigh?!" another said.

Some people went as far as calculating out that it is actually cheaper to book a five-star hotel rather than desperately sleep in their car all night with the air con blasting.

"It’s so serious that as I’m working during the heatwave I’ve got an air con hotel room so I can sleep in the daytime to be able to work at night over Monday and Tuesday be safe out there."

Reaching out to Clive Bull on LBC, Susan (@Garrety5) said they had to book a hotel in an air conditioned room so they could make three hospital appointments 'without collapsing or actually dying'.

Susan added: "It works out cheaper than using fans/electric and Ubers!"

But one user pointed out how the heatwave should be taken seriously and encouraged people to check in on vulnerable and elderly people who may be at risk.

Network Rail has asked passengers not to use the trains unless absolutely necessary and the RAC motoring body has issued warnings as it expects more car breakdowns as engines to overheat.
