Abnormally high UK temperatures continue

I sit in a bath of water in the garden for 23hrs in this weather. Keeps my fur cool...
 
TLDR: 2026 is going to be a record setting year in the UK continuing the record setting May temperatures. But it's only going to get hotter.

With the heatwave just starting it's worth thinking about how unusual it is. 2026 has already been an abnormally hot year and this June looks like it is going to smash the old records.

May was absurdly hot, the previous May heat record (32.8 - 1922) that had stood for over a hundred years was broken by 2.3 degrees (35.1). On that day 23 stations all broke the previous record. 150 odd stations set new Individual records during the month.


The current June temperature record is 35.6 degrees (1976). With a heatwave possibly hitting 40 degrees this week that record isn't going to stand long. Temperature records should not be being broken by 4-5 degrees. That is not a good sign.


So why is it so hot? There's a load of hot air wafting over us from the Sahara. As the baseline global temperature rises there are more and more excursions of hot air coming up from the equator. Normally the global air currents keep the hot air spinning around the equator but as the Arctic temperature rises they're weakening and getting less predictable. Its the same mechanism that sometimes dumps Saharan sand on us occasionally. That is happening more and more often now.

Or in short: we need to get used to this as the new normal and be prepared for it to get worse. Next year we'll also be getting the full effects of El Ninio so even though we'll smash through even more temperature records all summer, some of them won't last long.
Quite remarkable that this is happening given the climate change is a hoax, Trumpf said so.
 
The climate change deniers show that the spirit of the flat earthers and trial by ducking stool is still with us,
 
Occasional spikes is the norm, but what we have now is quite different, these events are happening year after year, it is becoming our climate - and when we do have that once in a decade or quarter century spike, it may be mid 40s
Bring it on, we enjoy it. And our occasional day of 40c will be your 25c!
 
He's functionally illiterate. But it's not his fault, he's so old when he sat his O levels it was in old English.
I'm becoming convinced that there are many on here that are functionally illiterate.
It's astonishing that there are so many congregating in the same place.
And they continue to employ overused cliches in their response to informative and explanatory posts.
Their ignorance is astounding and frightening.
As I thought. You don't know and nobody else does either. Let's just guess then, eh?
A guess is good enough for you.

Give it 10000yrs or so.
That will be good enough for me.
I have higher standards, you see.
A joke from IT Minion!

Now that really is something.
Classic debunking attempt there - conflate something you dont like with a complete pile of nonsense like flat earth. - Stick to jew hating -- you are much better at that
Another one using the "flat earth" method of debunk
Bring it on, we enjoy it. And our occasional day of 40c will be your 25c!
