The Met Office issued its first ever extreme heat warning last Tuesday:<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now if you\u2019re thinking that this is surely not the first time Britain has had hot weather, you would be right, as the small print (ie the bit nobody ever reads) in the Sky report explains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In other words, its the first heat warning since 1st June!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wonder, by the way, whether they will also be issuing \u201cextreme cold warnings\u201d this winter? Surely the Met Office would not be doing this just to scare the public about global warming?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for this \u201cextreme heat\u201d, the heatwave in England has been pretty run of the mill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Central England, there were only five days above 28C, and no day topped 30C, which PHE<\/a> say is their average threshold for a heatwave, depending on location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far this summer, these are the only days above 28C, whereas in 1976 there were seventeen, and sixteen in 1995:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I gather that GB News were discussing the heatwave earlier this week. One might have hoped they would show a bit of realism, but sadly they appear to be just as gullible as the rest of the media. I am told they started harping on about the hot weather, and the fact that heatwaves last 13 days not 5 days as they used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps somebody should have told them that heatwaves are not caused by carbon dioxide, but by anti-cyclonic weather systems. I am not aware of any mechanism by which carbon dioxide can keep high pressure systems over Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It never ceases to amaze me how grown up people can get themselves into such a tizzy about a few days of sunshine. Meanwhile, we are already back to typical British summer weather, sunshine and showers and average temperatures. No doubt the rest of the summer will carry on the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
