From The Guardian:
Chief constables are shortly to press the home secretary, Theresa May, to authorise the use of super soakers by any police force across England and Wales to deal with an anticipated heat wave.
The Association of Chief Police Officers says that the need to protect people "from ongoing and potentially lethal short term temperature spikes" justifies the introduction of the manually pressurised squirty pistols across Britain for the first time.
The London mayor, Boris Johnson, has already announced a consultation on the introduction of toy pressurized water guns to enable the Metropolitan Police to cool people down on the streets of London by this summer.
