This. Simple as. We've only got one planet and one chance yet we are ****ing it up big style. And little by way of really meaningful action is being taken.
Nowadays we have temperature being measured in pretty much every location across the country, and constantly, 24x7.. I doubt that even a few decades ago this was the case? Meaning x times more chances of records being broken? (not downplaying the concern, just raising this as a possible factor)
The locations of some of that monitoring is also a factor, especially when comparing to previous values, which may have been taken when the area around it was very different.
I don't have a water meter so the hose pipe runs for hours. Oh and for the d/d devotees, Yorkshire Water were paid in full before the end of April.
For anyone interested in the national numbers, the Met Office give access to the maximum temperatures from their sites back to the day they were opened. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/climate/maps-and-data/historic-station-data Plucking a couple of the longer term ones.
Why not just go an open another bank account and put all of it there and then set up the DDs from that account and then… Everything is so simple it’s insane.
