  1. Except that's misrepresenting the problem. Global CO2 is more than 30pc higher than has ever been the known case on earth (and still rising), and certainly in the last million years, and it all started when we industrialised.
  2. interesting that you can see a 'finger' arcing north east through Northumberland; that is the Fell Sandstone which is a Principal Aquifer - the last of the water!
  3. Newcastle hit 37C and has flat-lined with some high cloud.....so that is more than likely it, but, seriously 37C in Newcastle....?!
  4. Newcastle increased 3C between 13.20 and 14.20 to 37.2C....very steep upward rise....let's see where it ends....
  5. that only holds true if the typical upper air temps remain constant - which they aren't - there is enough evidence to show they're rising....back in the 1980s i remember it all being about 'hot plumes from africa', then it was 'hot plumes from spain'....now its 'hot plumes from france'.....point being the climate zones are moving north on our half of the globe and those upper air temps are rising with it.
  6. ^^same thoughts as i have just posted on.....its not been an incremental breaking of a record, its been kicked out the park.
  7. On two days of remarkable stories, yes it is IMBY, but the records in the North-east haven't just been beaten by a half degree or 1 degree....they've been smashed by several degrees....and still climbing...for the coldest part of England this is a real shock.
  8. Teesside, Newcastle, Loftus, Albermarle all around 34-35C so would be amazed if Durham hasn't beaten its record comfortably
  9. newcastle at 34C at 12 noon and still on a steep upward trajectory, so lets see!
  10. Carter Bar was 31C at 9am on the monitoring station there!
  11. true but it it is getting to full foehn effect from the hills behind, which is having a massive impact in this event.
  12. Loftus in Cleveland leading in the NE....nearly 35C there now....
  13. Tees-side Airport (sorry, old habits!) i think Darlo might be a better bet for a NE record but dont think there are any MetO approved stations there? NCL is pulling its air ever so slightly from the SE, Teeside is due south.
  14. deffo ones to watch - NCL and MME both 4C higher than this time yesterday...
  15. what got very little press yesterday is that Newcastle ended up nearly 4C higher than modelled, largely due to the land track from the south - ironically despite the larger heat pool to the south today, there is some coastal modification showing so yes i think the record will go again, but not be yesterdays margins. somewhere in the southern parts of the north east like darlington or durham could really be in for a roasting though as the heat is funnelled from the vale of york...
  16. and what is really crackers about that is on the current trajectory Newcastle is going to now have a higher record temperature than Exeter....
  17. relics of the days when the MetO was a military organisation; i.e the stations are generally still only in places that were WWII air bases....example is this county of Northumberland, a huge area by UK standards, but there are only four stations; two around Newcastle Airport and two at RAF Boulmer, hardly representative though as the Airport is next to the city and Boulmer is on the freezing north sea beach!
  18. you might find this useful Traffic Scotland > Traffic Info Map TRAFFICSCOTLAND.ORG
  19. Newcastle's record has just been broken, 33C and still rising.
  20. Boulmer on the Northumberland coast already a whisker (1C) at 11am from breaking it's August 1990 (all time) record of 28C ........wont excite those who like a headline, but to have temperatures like this when the sea is only 13C is quite remarkable...
  21. Destruction widespread overnight here on the Northumberland coast, roof damage to our house, trees down, cars damaged by debris, power cables popping etc etc 98mph was officially recorded closeby at brizelee nr alnwick, be interesting to see when the Boulmer and amble reports come in if there are 'upgrades'.....twas a long night.
  22. Thanks...the wind direction is a major factor as well as strength....most farms and villages in this area are designed to resist westerly influences, so we are really exposed to northerly winds - particularly tonight. Now into the realms of exploding power lines..
  23. Truly wild on the Northumberland coast now (near Boulmer) branches and all kinds hitting the windows. We have water coming through our roof, and no idea where my weather station sensors are.
