Today has been the hottest day in May on record with Kew Gardens provisionally reaching 34.8°C - exceeding the previous highest May temperature in the UK by a full 2 degrees Celsius🌡️ This heat would be exceptional in the UK even in mid summer, let alone in May📈

A really insightful paper that I implore all researchers that focus on Africa to read but especially 'Global North' researchers. It's a short paper with specific action points at the bottom. "the onus is on Northern academics to educate themselves" www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....
