I was told by a geography teacher many moons ago that forecasters will rarely use the word hot as it's not a forecasting term. They prefer words like warm and cool to describe temperature, rather than using the words hot or cold

The UKMO use 'hot' geneally for temps of 30C+. I think then over 32c+ is 'very hot'.

Persistent temps above 27C trigger a health advisory for Ireland, so 27.

If youre an older person with a respiratory complaint and your badly insulated Irish house is up to 32 because of it, its plenty hot.
