We're all doomed!

A giant ball of fire appeared in the skies over Edinburgh today, it was scary, it was like a 60's sci-fi film where man's foolish experiments with atomic power had altered the natural balance of the earth. Temperatures rose, the light was blinding, dark shadowy figures followed everybody around the city, locals and residents cowered indoors while mad dogs, Englishmen and other foreign visitors braved the conditions to admire the city, unaware that things were not as they should be, many were seen wandering around the city wearing small, thin clothing and even exposing their bare skin to the elements. No rain fell, the streets were dry, puddles evaporated almost in front of the eyes.

Officials from the Meteorological Office have issued an announcement assuring the public not to panic and that these conditions are a freak occurrence caused by regular seasonal changes, commonly known as summer, and these conditions are often witnessed in other parts of the world without causing permanent harm. The official announcement goes on to say that the fireball should be gone within the next 24 hours and rain should return by the weekend.
