BBC Weather meteorologist Tomasz Schafernaker revealed on Twitter that one of the coolest places they could be across the UK right now is Shetland, an island archipelago in the North Sea.

He pointed out that, while temperatures have exceeded 40C in some areas in the past few weeks, residents of Lerwick would not have the same problems."There’s always Lerwick in #Shetland for some fresher weather," he suggested playfully, attaching a snapshot of the forecast.Yesterday's temperature boasted a top high of no more than 16C - and there were even strong winds and drizzle.Shetland has been attracting the public's attention for its spectacular views as well, especially when it appeared on the crime series of the same name.In last night's episode, Douglas Henshall, who plays DI Jimmy Perez, made a grisly discovery against one of the region's beautiful backdrops - a dead body.Fortunately murders are not as common in the quiet and tranquil beauty spots of Shetland as the TV show might suggest.However, crime dramas aside, Tomasz made a very serious suggestion that Lerwick was the location to keep cool.@LouiseCollisArt replied enthusiastically to him, joking: "Googling how to get to Shetland right now!"Meanwhile @bickhamrm wanted to get in on the action too, chuckling: "Room for one more?!"However @BenRichFans weren't convinced they wanted to go from one extreme to the other, laughing: "Would love the drizzle but not sure about the strong winds!"Then fellow tweeter @alsteve92 chimed in too and quipped: "You on commission from Scottish tourist board?"As some fans jokingly prepared to arm themselves with umbrellas and stage a mass invasion of the Shetland Isles, @WinterFell1701 added: "I'd pay for some drizzle at the moment."Another.
