Met Office - weather and climate @metoffice.gov.uk · 06/10/2026
Today is the 117th consecutive day somewhere in the UK has recorded a temperature of 20°C or higher. The 11th of June was the last time we didn't reach this threshold. Fresher air comes in on Wednesday allowing temperatures to fall, and likely to stay just below 20°C.

Flying is officially on course to account for *almost all* the UK's carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Heathrow expansion alone would cause more carbon emissions by 2054 than *any other sector of the economy*. So why is it being contemplated? My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A third runway would fly in the face of reason. If we are to prioritise human life over short-term ‘growth’, we need to use planes less, not more, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The Bloomberg Economics forecast on energy bills is a bit terrifying. Forecasting a jump of 25% in bills this coming Jan - average hike of £427 p/a to around £2,150 a year for avg household. I'm sure Govt will be forced to act if it approaches that, but still. Get solar and insulation if you can...
