Il Met Office conferma il record per il giorno di maggio più caldo battuto ANCORA con temperature che raggiungono i 35°C

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

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?

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

Last couple of days have been pleasant but today is actually fucking torrid. The air quality is particularly vile.

Anyone got UK based AC company’s to invest in? May as well hedge my green efforts and make some money for my kid to enjoy the time we have!

If it carrys on all the arthritic pensioners wont have to go sit in spain for half the year. They could then spend some of that hard won state pension in our economy.

From TFA:

“Until then, the highest temperature ever recorded in May was 32.8C, reached in both 1922 and 1944.”

So it’s not far off temps a century ago. But it does certainly seem to be very much more frequent.

Pisses me off how literally everyone accepts climate change is happening *except* the political class. Everyone is just getting ready for climate change as an inevitable fact whilst politicians do a big charade of pretending it’s still up for debate to appease the idiot voters who like to feel powerful.

It feels like when you give a child a fake steering wheel in a car so they can feel big and important. Except in our case, the steering wheel is real, and all the adults can do is get ready for the inevitable crash.
