Comment on UK ‘built for climate that no longer exists’ and needs urgent changes to survive global heating, report warns

  Summers regularly hit the mid 30’s now though. Sunday is forecast as 31c with almost a week over 30 ahead, and it’s still technically spring.

  I swear I remember 25c being rare and called a heatwave when I was a kid, I miss that.

      A single hot day isn’t a heatwave tho.

      Also I was primary school aged at that time, so there is every possibility the adults around me were using hyperbole I wasn’t picking up on.

    I can’t keep up with all the weather changes this year.

    Here in London, heatwave weather is more when you get to the 30s. Are you further up north, by any chance?

    I know, this year is crazy. We had hot spells back in, was it March? I can’t keep up with all the changes, even in the same day. Yesterday went from chilly to sunny to rainy, to hot and sunny again. This is Britain, we should get 5 days of sunshine a year and rain or overcast for the rest.

      I feel like you’ve been out of the country for the last decade. We regularly get multiple weeks over 30c in London every summer now and the seasons have been messed up for much longer than that.

      The 25c being called a heatwave thing is something I remember from the early 90’s.

        Umm, no I haven’t?

        I was a kid in the 90s, I don’t remember 25 being considered a heatwave here. It was only once we got close to 30. Otherwise it was just hot.

        My last comment was tongue in cheek, like this kind of thing.
