Earlier in the summer I presented a figure showing how a comparable weather event to the summer of 1976 would be experienced in a warmer current climate. It would be 3-4°C hotter, with London hitting 38°C. Yesterday, that is exactly what happened.

Temperatures have now provisionally exceeded 37°C 🌡️ Before 2026, the UK had recorded 37°C or higher on only six occasions. This year alone, we've already reached that mark three times.

A table of top temperatures so far. The highest currently at 37.6°C at Charlwood.

At my allotment I have a ‘hedgehog rescue’ - working with a wildlife charity It provides safe outside space for hedgehogs that need a bit of looking after before being released back into the wild… (important message coming up!) …

January was a busy month for the weather with a big storm, lots of sunshine, and some heavy snow. Busy for the weather ... but quiet at the allotment. But that means there's more time to introduce Jean - the cocker spaniel! www.itv.com/watch/news/a...
