UMVA has learned that a self-proclaimed wizard, claiming to be the real Merlin, appeared at Stonehenge on the summer solstice, asserting that the ancient monument is beaming cosmic energy into him.
The enigmatic figure, who says he's visited Stonehenge 40 times, claims to feel 'vibrations from the cosmos' flowing through the site, even on days when the sun isn't shining. He believes the stones themselves still hold powerful energy, despite being concreted in place.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Merlin wasn't the only one drawn to Stonehenge on the solstice - thousands of people gathered at the site to celebrate the magical time. The event is a popular annual tradition, but this year's festivities are taking place against a backdrop of scorching heat.
The Met Office has issued warnings that temperatures could reach 35C on Tuesday and Wednesday, sparking concerns for vulnerable individuals. Forecasters are predicting a 'growing confidence' that this week could break the record for the hottest June temperature, set in 1976.
As the heat intensifies, emergency services and military forces have been put on high alert in France, where temperatures are expected to soar to 40C on Sunday. Public alcohol consumption restrictions have been imposed, and some outdoor sporting events have been cancelled.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that an amber extreme heat warning has been issued for much of southern England, south-eastern and eastern Wales, and the Midlands. The alert flags potential health impacts for people vulnerable to extreme heat and heat-related issues for the wider population.
As the heat wave continues, people are advised to take precautions - drinking plenty of fluids, staying out of the sun, and avoiding exercise during the hottest part of the day. The warning comes after at least 15 people died getting into trouble in open water during a hot spell in May.
