Thermometer in my back garden showed 47 degrees earlier. It only goes up to 50 so assume it’ll just break tomorrow.

5-6 hours providing the door's kept shut. Had this chat so many times with customers when rewiring their houses - seems to be the standard amount of time.

Was just thinking any mention of fans in the area must refer to the two rugby clubs.<laugh> My freezer once packed in and the food lasted the two days until I got a new one delivered with no problem. Was told, depending on how much was in that it could have lasted a couple of days more. Not sure of fridges though.
 
Why was it so hot in 1808 and 1906?

We're still coming out of an ice age.

Earth’s hottest periods—the Hadean, the late Neoproterozoic, the Cretaceous Hot Greenhouse, the PETM—occurred before humans existed. Those ancient climates would have been like nothing our species has ever seen.

Modern human civilization, with its permanent agriculture and settlements, has developed over just the past 10,000 years or so. The period has generally been one of low temperatures and relative global (if not regional) climate stability. Compared to most of Earth’s history, today is unusually cold; we now live in what geologists call an interglacial—a period between glaciations of an ice age.

Just those two years? 98 years apart? Just hot I guess. Two out of 98 years is a bit anomalous, don't you think? You sure you haven't confused climate and weather?

Are you sure you haven’t? Will we be having vineyards in Northumbria like the Romans did when they were here?

Romans growing grapes in the UK 2,000 years ago doesn’t disprove that human production and consumption since the Industrial Revolution has caused damage to the ozone layer and accelerated warming.
