At that point, Hammond attempts to rattle off more points but is cut off by host Bev Turner.

“So John, I want us to be happy about the weather,” she says, dismissing his ominous forecast. “And I don’t know whether something has happened to meteorologists to make you all a little bit fatalistic and harbingers of doom.”

Turner added, “All of the broadcasts, particularly on the BBC, every time I’ve turned on, anyone is talking about the weather and they’re saying there’s going to be tons of fatalities. But haven’t we always had hot weather, John?”

However, Hammond’s predilection proved to be prescient as temperatures did top 104 degrees in London while the mercury hit a national record-breaking 104.4 Fahrenheit Tuesday in eastern England. Meanwhile, over 1,000 people died across Europe due to the extreme hot spell.

If that wasn’t eerie enough, the snippet rang eerily similar to the dystopian scene from “Don’t Look Up,” in which Cate Blanchett’s broadcaster dismisses warnings by Jennifer Lawrence’s astronomer as a massive comet streaks toward Earth.

“I’m sorry, are we not being clear?” fumes Lawrence’s character in the prophetic clip. “We’re trying to tell you that the entire planet is about to be destroyed.”

Blanchett’s flippant news anchor responds by saying that their station likes “to keep the bad news light.”

Needless to say, many commenters were floored by the apparent resemblance between the two clips, with one aghast Twitter user calling it “surreal.”

“Ppl made fun of ‘Don’t Look Up’ and all I saw was a slightly exaggerated depiction of what our media and government are actually like,” lamented another.

One incredulous commenter argued, “I thought meteorologists’ main job WAS to warn about serious weather? Prepare people for natural disasters like hurricanes or HEAT WAVES? Not just give a heads up that your backyard barbecue may be inconvenienced by rain.”

“Holy s–t,” exclaimed comedian Patton Oswalt above a retweet of the comparison.
