UK May heatwave is one of those recent examples where standard extreme value methods do not really work. Assuming the 35.0 °C yesterday at Heathrow, London belongs to the "same population" as historical May temperatures, a traditional non-stationary GEV gives a return period of ~1000 years.
Time series of May maximum temperatures in Heathrow, London in 1960–2026. 10, 100 and 1000-year return levels are added as dashed lines, and the value observed in 2026 (35.0 °C) matches with the 1000-year return level.

Israel isn't going to stop. They have to BE stopped. Because this is a problem way, WAY beyond just Netanyahu.
Young Israeli voters shifting right, Netanyahu leads as preferred candidate - poll
A recent survey reveals a significant shift in young Israeli voters' political preferences, with a growing right-wing alignment and strong support for Netanyahu.The survey finds that 56% of this age group considers itself right-wing, compared with 44% of Israelis aged 23 and older.

Among younger Israelis, 22% describe themselves as center-right, 14% as centrist (compared with 27% of older Israelis), and 8% identify as center-left or left-wing.
