It can't possibly be 23C in Ruislip surely?

Its was at midnight yes  Was hoping we'd stay over 25 but london temperatures dropped surprisingly more compared to surrey area

That was posted at 12.03am 

Yes - I realised - deleted now.

The trend is not my opinion.

 

Well, best outlaw any debate on it then, its settled!! 

 

I'd like to put on record that I am not expressing a view either way on the GW debate. I simply do not have enough information or access to data on what is an enormous topic, and simply cannot be expressed in a few words on an internet forum.

However, trying to belittle and shut people down for saying as much is a very dangerous precedent.

I’m worried about my rabbits, hope they can get through the next couple of hours.
They are in the shade, given them frozen 2l water bottles wrapped in wet towels (which they are ignoring), lots of fresh water, cold carrot slices etc.
They don’t look happy! Even tried spraying their fur with fine mist of cold water but that just makes them leg it - last thing I want is to over exert them.
Bringing them inside is not much of a choice either, hutch is too big for me to lift on my own, plus very hot inside anyway.
Any other pet owners concerned?

 

Haha, I could have written this exact post (except we only have 1). She has been lying in the shade panting, I have given her a frozen water bottle wrapped in a towel but she won't really lie on it. I tried misting her with water but she just flinches and looks annoyed. She used to have a burrow she had dug in the garden, but we had to move her a few weeks ago due to building works starting! I feel bad about that as it would be a lot cooler underground.

 

BTW John your inbox is full!

On the subject of warm nights Aberdeen (officially) had its warmest night on record, and the overnight low in my garden was 19.3°C.

Has the heat got to you?  I'm reporting 40.3C 20 miles or so from you.  

eh why are people quoting my post from 12.03 am. Ruislip temp at MIDNIGHT was 23C. It's over 39C right now!!!

Have you thought about going outside if you like heat....?

Yes in the Garden many times and really amainzg to feel the Nicosia average summer day.  Indoors now 35-37C and all the stuff is warm when you touch.

I've tried all of that! They don't lie on the frozen bottles!

 

I've just bought them in and given them the kitchen floor.🤷‍♂️

In YOUR opinion. To which you are fully entitled.

I am merely commenting on this event as was the OP who I was responding to.

I stand by the fact that belittling people who post here with good intention is below the belt.

 

No, in  the opinion of just about every recognised scientist and now 99.9% of politicians and normal people who believe in evidence based facts. Nut not for an argument on here, just go outside and measure the temperature.

I once experienced 44c in Nicosia. Cray hot, but today is really pushing it here in the UK. Incredible!

TBF, the 'trend' is over a very short period of time in the grand scheme of the planet. But nevertheless, a trend is a trend

Are you doing nothing to try to keep the temperature inside cooler??

---

The temperature has stalled here at 35.5°C-36°C for the last hour or so. Signs that the cooler air is starting to show its hand? The forecasts did say any heating would struggle after 13:00, and there would be a drop by 15:00. Bang on forecast if right.

If that can be classed as official then that is a new record. No reports yet of anything over that - Things seem to have peaked.

Anyway we've hit 40C.

We both made the same mistake Brian - that was at 3.00 am   The heat's got to us !

This is true and I will swerve back on topic to say this morning’s trend of falling temperatures in NE Scotland is being reversed currently but I suspect it may be too late to get a new record in that part of the world today?

That may well be the case. But science is about questioning well held beliefs. Its how science works. Its how we further our knowledge. Just because the consensus says its right doesn't mean it is right. In this case it may well be 'right', but there is still value in questioning it in order to further understanding. Surely people can see that?

Extraordinary. Time for climate change deniers to shut up for good. There can no longer be any debate that AGW is real. Maybe global warming denial should be made a criminal offence - these people represent an existant threat to the future of humanity and the urgent need to tackle climate change.

 

No chance, it's a mix of psychological projection and laziness. Untrustworthy people always assume they're being lied to, so EU bad, Covid just the flu, climate change made up - pretty much 100% correlation. On the other hand tell them everything's fine and they will dig like rabbits for proof it isn't 🙂 - and lazy people will look for excuses why something isn't happening or even if it is, why there's nothing you can do

 Are you doing nothing to try to keep the temperature inside cooler??

He's probably doing the opposite and has the oven switched on all day with its door open.

Anyway back on topic, I seem to be stuck at 39.7c. 

'Stuck' haha - I just want to see 40c as we are so close!
