South-east England looked for a time this week like a scene from south-east Australia in the midst of a long, hot summer.

UK correspondent Enda Brady told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast the heatwave was an "awful experience".

"Honestly, runways at airports melting, problems with the trains tracks, we had homes catching fire, it's just absolutely awful," he said.

"And today Boris Johnson said goodbye, the man who didn't attend the two crisis meetings about the heatwave. He left parliament today and his last words were 'hasta la vista baby'."
