There are three things in life that women, in particular, have to battle with in the middle of the current heatwave: a SULA (sweaty upper lip alert), inner-thigh chafing, and underboob sweat. None of them are fun.
But it seems that our iPhones are trying to warn us about the latter, as women have been left baffled by a ‘sweaty boobs’ warning in the Apple Weather app.
One woman, Victoria Louise Wiggins, took to a Facebook group to share the confusing weather symbol on her phone in an attempt to shed light on what it means.

“Anyone know what this symbol means? Never seen it before. It’s really annoying me that I can’t seem to find out!
“I thought maybe fog or haze but it’s scorching outside. Thanks,” Victoria wrote.
What followed is a slew of comments from onlookers all in agreement that the symbol does seem to refer to ‘sweaty boobs’.

“Thank you,” Victoria updated her post. “I think we’ve concluded that it means… Sweaty boobies. [It’s] very hot, keep an eye on your big boobed friends. Have a lovely day in the sun!”
However, on further digging, it seems that the symbol may actually refer to hazy weather, which is where dust, smoke and dry particles in the air obscure the sky’s clarity.
Tyla has contacted Apple for further clarification on the weather symbol.

The playful weather warning comes as the UK has entered its longest heatwave in four years, with temperatures set to rise up to 30ºC.
Brits saw the weather warming up on Friday 8 July, with temperatures hitting highs of 27ºC to 29ºC over the coming days.
While the highest temperatures will prevail in southern and central England and Wales, temperatures will be above average into early next week, according to the Met Office.

For this warm spell to be considered an official Met Office heatwave, conditions must remain for at least three days in a row.

A level two heat-health alert has already been issued for southern and eastern areas of England.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist David Oliver said: “We’re at the start of a stretch of warm weather for much of England and Wales, that could last for much of next week.
"In the short term, many can expect temperatures in the mid to high 20s over the weekend, and then in the low 30s during the start of next week. Much of next week will remain warm for the time of year as well as dry and sunny.”
