Climate Anxiety? Get A Life!

A few select extracts from the BBC website.
This is the definition of a heatwave (!)
“Much of England and Wales are in an official heatwave as of Tuesday. A location has to reach a threshold temperature – 25C for northern and western areas and 28C in London and Home Counties – for three days in a row.”
They allow three degrees Celsius for the UHI effect, but 25 degrees Celsius almost guarantees a heatwave being declared any time between now and September even in the UK.

However from the report :
“The UK record for the hottest May day has been broken for a second day in a row, as parts of London surpassed 35C on Tuesday.
Kew Gardens in south-west London recorded a provisional temperature of 35.1C, beating Monday’s 34.8C record-high in the same place.
Wales also broke May records for the second consecutive day, as provisional temperatures reached 32.3C at Cardiff’s Bute Park, surpassing Monday’s 32.2C at Hawarden Airport in Flintshire.
The soaring temperatures led to delays to train services due to speed restrictions put in place because of the heat.
Before Monday and Tuesday’s record-breaking highs, May’s warmest day in the UK was 32.8C in 1922 and 1944.”

It is the hottest May day on record, breaking the record set on Monday.

“Today is now the hottest day in May on record with Heathrow and Kew Gardens provisionally reaching 35.0C,” the Met Office says.

“Until yesterday the highest temperature in May was 32.8C, but we’ve now exceeded that record on consecutive days by a full two degrees Celsius.”

Yesterday, temperatures reached 34.8C at Kew Gardens.”

“A new record for the hottest May day in Wales has been set.
The country broke May records for the second consecutive day, as provisional temperatures reached 32.9C in Bute Park, Cardiff the Met Office said, surpassing Monday’s record of 32.2C at Hawarden Airport in Flintshire.
The previous record was 30.6C at Newport on 29 May 1944.”

I suspect that these visitors from the USA are not used to the humidity we experience in the UK, but I may be wrong.
“In Regent’s Park, we bumped into three people who are all too familiar with stifling heat.
Autumn Cook, 21, and Jayda Masina, 23, are from Utah, while Alyssa McCave, 19, is from Texas in the United States.
Both states experience intense heat, but Jayda and Autumn tell us that the current UK heatwave is “way worse”.
Autumn says the “lack of air conditioning” is a “big” problem, while Jayda adds that more air conditioning would make the heatwave more “tolerable”.”

Meanwhile in Paris, France:
“The BBC’s Paris correspondent Hugh Schofield described people scurrying for shade “as if it was the middle of August” in the French capital, with temperatures reaching 34C (93.2F) on Tuesday.
This comes as France’s national weather service said a “heat dome” settling over Western Europe was producing temperatures 10 to 15 degrees Celsius above the average for May.”

“Meteo-France said the soaring temperatures were due to a “heat dome”, which forms when a high-pressure system develops in the upper atmosphere, forcing the air below it to sink and compress and raising temperatures in the lower atmosphere.”
