      This is now the earliest 35C ever in the UK by a whole *month*. 1976, the year that boomers will wheel out in any and all situations to “disprove” climate change, didn’t reach this temperature until 26 June

      To quote part of Reform’s spam marketing, something is happening out there!

    3. Predicting quite a few more weather records to be broken this year. AI Datacentres pumping out heat, and using up water is only going to ~~exasperate~~ exacerbate the problem in the following years.

      How many people have to die in these annual heatwaves before widespread adoption of air conditioning?

      We had the wettest winter on record, I bet you this year’s autumn will start early (if not earlier) as it did last year, you’ll see trees stressing and dropping leaves by Sept.

      Berries will fruit much earlier, birds will be super confused, then we’ll just have excessive rainfall again and everything plant wise you thought hardy will go to rot and fail 😂 Cheery stuff to come!

      One of the anti-climate change lies that I’ve seen trying to rationalise all the increasing temperatures and records is that the seasons have shifted, and Summer is just getting later.

      This has been the counter to that – not only is the world getting hotter consistently, it’s happening across every season, and temperature records are being broken year-on-year, in every season.

      Not only is it getting worse, but it’s getting worse quicker. And there are no solutions in sight. This country doesn’t have the infrastructure for extreme heat, especially when it comes in waves.

      We now require homes and cities that can handle extreme dry spells, extreme wet spells, heatwaves, and cold snaps. And we need to be able to retrofit that to places that were built around a steadier, more reliable climate.

      And the way the next general election is likely to go, that isn’t happening. Drill, baby, drill, all the way to the end.

      With ever increasing temperatures my family history of skin cancer is looking at me licking its lips.

      Summers when I was kid in the 80s and 90s a hot day had temperatures in the region of mid to late 20’s, and that was in July and August, not May. To hit 30 was extremely rare. To see what would have one been freak temperatures becoming normal is extremely worrying.

      I absolutely hate the dicks that love this type of thing happening to this country.

      Just so they can have an asbo family reunion in the garden, drinking fosters and swearing like idiots all night.

      And I was flabbergasted after hearing a colleague say that he might have to shower today if this heat continues. How can he not shower daily in this heatwave? Sweaty balls, ass, dick, armpits, just to name a few. Nope! No way!

      Reform UK supporters will just say it’s just normal summer weather and don’t realise it’s still spring, they have had too many Stella tins again.

      Europe has A/C for like two decades , might be a good idea to have inbuilt A/C in rentals / new homes whaddaya thunk …headdesk

      And yet still the Clarksonites will refuse to learn the difference between climate and weather.

      I’m surprised a hosepipe ban hasn’t been announced yet.

      South East Water are already having issues. All the shops near me have ran out of bottled water. I’ve drank my stash.

      It was hotter last year for me.

      Admittedly that was in the middle East…..

      ….this isn’t good is it?

      Finally. The UK gets it’s own summers, no longer need to go aboard. Good news all round.

    17. I honestly don’t see how humanity will escape climate change. Every year is setting new records now and we’re still emitting more and more carbon emissions. The future isn’t looking good.

      They’re sticking the thermometer right up a 747s arse.

      Bet July is complete crap.
