I get how things painted white reflect the heat ( as in Greek buildings etc) and things that are black absorb the heat. The ‘mind blown’ part is understanding how a brick can give off more heat than it gets.

Looking for a smarter way to manage your heating this winter? We’ve been testing the new Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 to see how quiet, accurate and easy it is to use around the home. Click here read our review.
Mind blown !

It is absorbing energy not heat and is doing so over a period of time.
It does not, it cannot - has as been already explained, it absorbs heat from the sun's infra-red. Shade it from the sun, and it will not heat up.

Mike, come see this, he's at it again, pointing that thingy at his walls!

Funnily enough, I was inspired to do it by the thread we had last week on walls and insulation. It was actually my first time.
Yes, the brick isn't just being warmed by the air around it like in an oven, it's being heated by radiation like in a microwave.
Nosenuffink yet again demonstrates that he is just a dumb out of work builder. Neither of those are south east
They've moved Heathrow!
Being on the West coast of Scotland, Heathrow is in the South East !
In the same way Londoners think people in North Britain live above Manchester

That's an interesting point. Heathrow is part of Greater London, and I've always thought of Greater London being in the South East. But technically it isn't!
Nice try at debunking -- but WRONG
The arrow indicates where it is located- about 20m from the runway, transition area tarmac and concrete then a building and two other even closer concrete areas. A wider view will show even more concrete staging / apron areas.
Now consider this ---
World Meteorological Organisation rules state that Class 1 sites must be at least 100m away from concrete surfaces, and even the lower class 2 sites must be 30m away,which rules out Coningsby. It only qualifies as a Class 3 site, which the World Meteorological Organisation say may overstate temperatures by 1C.
People are being gas lit by what the news does not tell you.
The hottest recorded temp in the UK -- what does it say -- Coningsby- right, but what they fail to mention is exactly where in Coningsby.
Its RAF Coningsby home to two frontline, combat-ready squadrons and is the training station for Typhoon pilots. Not saying its heat from engines before the debunkers start, but the acres of tarmac and concrete absorbing heat causing temperatures to build up, heat islands.
Zoom out more and post that. To the north are buildings, to the south, east and west are fields.
A heat island is more than a road and a small town. Coningsby is in the arse end of nowhere and fields.
Also that runway is 57 meters wide, the station is around 1 runway width away so more than 30m, and the met office class it as class one.
The met office goes into depth on this if anyone is actually interested

The Met Office operates hundreds of weather stations at locations the length and breadth of the United Kingdom.

Looks like a lot of concrete to me.
As does the World Meteorological organisation
Siting Classification | World Meteorological Organization
Technically Heathrow and the surrounding area are (weather) influenced by the continent because it is located geographically in the south east - closer to mainland Europe than the rest of the UK.

Interesting cropping there. Not a simple zoom out, but a framing with the object of interest sitting right at the bottom of the shot.Looks like a lot of concrete to me.
