“By the same token, hot weather can increase the size of the non-erect penis as blood vessels dilate and there is better blood flow around your whole body.”
The Met Office yesterday issued a yellow health warning around most of England due to the climbing temperatures.
It was in place across London, the South East, South West, East of England, West Midlands, East Midlands and Yorkshire and the Humber.
The warning has stood since midday yesterday and will finish at 9am on Saturday, August 12.
