United Kingdom

I had an argument with some pillock on facebook who was saying 'it was hot once in 76', I had to tell him his memory if obviously fucked because 1. data says so and 2. the changes since I was a kid in the 80's are massive and noticeable to anybody.

When I was a kid, you were lucky if you got a few days over 20 degrees over summer, if you had a week over 20 it was considered a heatwave of costa del sol proportions. For the last decade or so I've noticed spring starts a lot earlier now and summers go on a lot longer, even in winter I've seen cold like I've never seen on a few occasions (last few have been weirdly warm though).

Last year it was 38 degrees where I live in fuckin Newcastle for over a week, opening the door was like stepping off the plane in Florida. How fucking stupid do you have to be to be my age or older and not accept this reality staring us all in the fucking face?

And not just a little bit warmer - 0.9C is a lot.

That and the lack of rain made grass everywhere look parched.

I'm just getting over a nasty bout of flu. It was very weird having a temperature during a heatwave, all of that extra heat was not helpful.

It's only going to get worse. We'll get a new record every year. I hate humid heat and our houses are built to retain heat. It's appalling how we've let greedy sods drive us down this path of no return.

Wonder what records will be next for this month. Already had unusually high sea temperatures around the uk

June is kind of cooler than the rest of summer, so who knows what lies next.

They say that every year.
