Weather Forecast 3 September : Bright spells developing.
-
Well, the results from the 'weather jury' are in and no surprise to learn that Summer 2026 was the UK's hottest on record (according to provisional data from the Met Office).
2026 is definitely going to become the new most memorable summer, replacing the record-breaking summer of 1976 as the go-to reference.
The UK has 'enjoyed' a spring and summer of persistent heat with five widespread heatwaves and 40 days of temperatures above 30C° (86F°), smashing the previous record of 34 days.
I was looking for a photograph I have taken locally this summer that goes some way to illustrate what we have just experienced and I thought this image, taken on 12 July down on Seaburn's promenade in Sunderland, NE England, just about sums the season up.
Four people chilling out on a bench, soaking up the sunshine and warmth under cloudless blue skies – what a summer it has proved to be!

Welche Folgen der historische El Niño für Europa haben kann
Ein Klimaphänomen, das alle bisherigen Rekorde bricht, braut sich zusammen. Hierzulande könnten vor allem die Lebensmittelpreise steigen
Die Klimaforschenden pfeifen es durch die Medien und nach den Semesterferien durch die Hörsäle: Es zeichnet sich ein enorm starker El Niño ab. Wie der britische Wetterdienst, das #MetOffice, berichtet, wird es sich um ein Ereignis von ungekannten Ausmaßen handeln – wahrscheinlich das stärkste seit dem 19. Jahrhundert. Damit passt die aktuelle Einschätzung zu den Prognosen vor einem Monat, die für den heftigsten #ElNiño seit 150 Jahren sprechen.
Groß dürfte der indirekte Einfluss in Zentraleuropa ausfallen. Es ist damit zu rechnen, dass durch #Extremereignisse wie #Überschwemmungen und #Dürren die weltweite #Nahrungsmittelproduktion beeinträchtigt wird. Das dürfte die #Lebensmittelpreise weiter steigen lassen – nach einem überaus trockenen und für die Landwirtschaft belastenden Sommer, der durch die #Klimakrise verschärft wurde. Da davon auszugehen ist, dass sich der Zustand des Klimas in Zukunft verschlimmert, bietet die Prognose für die kommenden Monate einen Ausblick auf die Probleme der kommenden Jahre. -

#WeatherScience people, can someone identify where this image is sourced from, and tell me how I can find similar relative humidity charts for other dates/times?
It looks like #MetOffice data, but I cannot find it on `digital.nmla.metoffice.gov.uk`

#UK #weather: Amber heat health alerts issued across #England as fifth summer #heatwave on way
#MetOffice meteorologist Tom Morgan said Thursday "looks the most likely hottest day of the week", with a "small chance it could get even higher than [36C]".
It comes after the UK equalled the record number of days with #temperatures above #30C across the country this year.

The only 'pragmatic approach' to #OilAndGas, Mr #Burnham, is to shut it all down, arrest all the executives, and put them all on trial charged with conspiracy to commit murder.
The #MetOffice is already predicting temperatures which will cause mass deaths in the #UK within thirty years.

The UK #MetOffice is predicting temperatures by mid century which will trigger mass death events. It's now too late to prevent this, because of inertia and hysteresis in the climate system. So it's already too late to have a 'soft landing', even in what are now temperate zones.
What we need to be building towards is #lifeboats -- relatively self-sufficient regions which can survive when global systems fail.
Because they will.

A fortnight ago, I posted a blog post about the risk of mass deaths given the #metoffice predictions for summer temperatures mid-century; but then I noticed I'd made a significant mistake, and rolled it back.
I've now revised it. It's not quite as bleak as it was. It's pretty bleak.
