In light of the incredible temperatures recorded in the Pacific North West in this heatwave I've decided to put this topic in the classic threads forum.

Yes it is heartbreaking.  I find uself getting increasingly angered by those who have spent the last 20+ years denying that climate change is happening. Some of them used to contribute regularly in the old Climate Forum. There are still people denying what is happening despite the mounting evidence and people who accept it is happening but won't countenance the changes needed to try to slow it down.


The reality is that we're all locked into what is going to be an increasingly bumpy and nasty journey. We've seen the effects in Australia and more than once on the western side of North America; not to mention the heatwaves that have hit Western Europe in recent years.

Big fire now in Cyprus from the heatwave they had recently.  So much heat around so why UK not getting a heatwave or even a warm spell like 25C to 30C days?  It show how extreme heat in Canada while UK the coldest place in NH latitude zone.

Great bit of archiving there Kevin. I'll leave this on here for the meantime - But this is an excellent bit of archiving here - The February concerned delivered the coldest February ever in historic records and this February of 1947 is still the most recent coldest month ever.


After a few days I'll move this thread to the classic  records section.


Well done and a big thanks to you.

Not sure if I'm really supposed to add to this thread but it was interesting to note the comments that said it was highly unlikely that the UK would ever reach 40C. Fast forward just over a year later......
