Just back from central France where the heat wave is just coming to an end. The farmers were saying how well the crops have done and it will give them a chance for a second crop.

The heat wave in the UK was no more than a normal summer in southern Europe. I don't believe the excuse about food prices.

Brexit brings extreme weather - food prices 'to rise 5%'!

Meat, vegetable and dairy prices are set to rise "at least" 5% in the coming months because of the UK's extreme weather this year, research suggests.

Consultancy CEBR said 2018's big freeze and heatwave would end up costing consumers about £7 extra per month.

It follows price warnings from farmers' representatives about peas, lettuces and potatoes.

Wholesale prices of other vegetables have already soared by up to 80% since the start of the year.

But the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) explained that these increases can take up to 18 months to fully have an effect on shoppers.

"So, while the worst of the recent heat may have passed, the cost to consumers looks set to climb," it warned.
