So are we just waiting for Cambridge?


Is there no chance of a lincolnshire site getting upgraded?

Just had a brief 1 minute shower which just about reached the ground. Temp 32C which feels positively cool.

I thought the weather station was near huntingdon Road and not the farm near Impington/Histon only a mile or so difference anyway 


Long wait to see what botanical gardens show in the morning.

The station must have moved to the new Park Farm facility before 2019 as I recall searching it out then on Google Earth.

You would have thought a hot spell  of that magnitude would have at least merited a cracking thunderstorm   to end it !!

Waddington 39.2 and Scampton 39.1C at 6pm. These seem almost underwhelming now but to still be above the old record at 6pm is pretty remarkable.

Tetford and Denver are the only possible contenders I reckon, apart from CBG and Brogdale.


 


I saw a few people mention Waddington as a 40+ but had no confirmation yet.

Yay!


It was bound to be hotter than 32.9 somewhere near the border


Carlisle got up to 34.4 (nd might have been higher in-between the hours) and I know the weather station used there is at the ex-RAF facility in the north of the city only 5-6 miles from Gretna across a flat plain near sea-level as the crow flies, so I reckon Gretna would have recorded the same figure +-1C

Carlisle used to belong to Scotland so we can just claim it directly too

This means that any record which has already been provisionally announced is likely to be officially declared with even higher values being confirmed for those records.


For here in Scotland, this means that we can't rule out the possibility of the new record actually being over 35°C once those actual maximum temperatures are known.

Your profession is irrelevant. 


My main point is that people are entitled to hold different beliefs. I am not commenting regarding GW being a fact or fiction. What I am saying is that people can hold a different opinion to what is regarded as the consensus, and should NOT be belittled for doing so. I'm sick and tired of internet people cancelling debate that does not conform to their own belief, or labelling those who disagree as deniers or idiots. 


I say again, I am personally not making any claim either for or against GW. I am merely lauding the right of an individual to have an opinion. It is up to the community to then discuss and debate opinions. Closing down said debate does nothing to further anyone's understanding. 


I'll say no more on the matter.
