We thought we would bring some wild and fun facts...
DID YOU KNOW? #SummerEdition
- The first day of summer arrived in the UK with the solstice on 21 June, 2022.
- The hottest day ever recorded in the UK was 25 July, 2019 in Cambridge where it reached a sizzling 38.7°C.
- The south and north are opposites. When it is summer in the south, this means that it is winter in the north.
- The invention of the popular ice lolly in 1905 was actually accidental. An 11-year-old boy in the USA had left his fizzy drink sitting outside and by the next morning it had frozen. He began selling them at an amusement park in New Jersey.
- Oui! The rumours are true, the Eiffel Tower is taller in the warmer summer months, the iron in the Eiffel Tower expands, making the tower grow more than 6 inches.
