La pioggia incessante della Gran Bretagna mostra che le previsioni climatiche si stanno svolgendo come previsto

Large parts of the UK are experiencing relentless rainfall, with some places seeing rain for 41 consecutive days and counting. In Reading, in the south east of England, our university’s official rain gauge has recorded precipitation on 31 consecutive days – unprecedented in records stretching all the way back to 1908.

The pattern has not just made 2026 a bit dreary. It also reveals one way in which climate change is making the already naturally variable (some would say gloriously variable) British weather increasingly extreme.

In those 31 days, Reading has received 141mm of rain, compared to the 30-year average over that period of just 58mm – well over twice what we would expect at the time of year.

Scientists were right! No one expected that! Literally no one! Especially politicians!

Come to Ireland, we had a months worth the other evening.
Also seeing record setting consecutive days of rain. Today was the first day in ages I walked the dog and came home dry!

US repealed all EPA regulations so it will burn as much coal as possible – for absolutely no reason at all.

Oh no, how could we have known, I say??!! How COULD we have known?!!

It’s even weirder that the same is happening in Spain

Ok.

In Germany we were supposed to have the driest and warmest winter since quite some time. The good thing of having climate predictions contradicting each other is that you are always right.

i like the rain
