  1. All extremes of weather result in death and destruction, that's why they're called extremes. Whether it be the 2003 heatwave or severe winters, all have their problems. But enjoying extremes won't make them less or more likely to happen so what is the point of this silly debate?
  2. Temperature-wise has been lovely the last week or so, but the lack of sunshine is crap.
  3. An hour of daylight lost in southern England now. I am looking forward to it not getting light until post-6am I have to say. 6-7am is the ideal really.
  4. I loved the rainy weekend. And the flat is now at a comfortable temperature.
  5. I'm sorry, but any site used in official readings should already be deemed fit for official use. It should not require extra checks just because it might have a record resting on it, standards and checks should already be stringent enough. If they're having to check THEIR OWN SITE to see if it's fit to be giving data, just because there's a record at stake, then frankly that's poor form for a globally renowned institution.
  6. If it's not a suitable site then I'll ask the question why are they even bothering to receive data from it? I think it's fine.
  7. Yep I suspect that's part of the issue. They've had some embarrassing gaffes and blunders on social media. My favourite was when they shared a photo of a "tornado" that was clearly a contrail shadow
  8. Well that's all well and good...but why make a big song and dance on social media at 4pm on the day about falling short of the record, when they knew it would take days to verify? Sod social media and do your jobs properly.
  9. The Met Office really don't help themselves at times. Will be funny if that Cambridge 38.7c is legit. Especially as it's "impossible" for it to get that hot there...
  10. It was more the fallout. It's a hot day. I'm sweating my wotsits off in the garden. I'm on my phone. It was just easier to bin it all and move on from the whole willy waving nonsense and perceived guilt tripping.
  11. If we could all grow up please that would be wonderful. Thank you.
  12. If they round to the nearest odd number, why is Cambridge reporting 38?
  13. I wish the availability of the data that we pay for with our taxes wasn't so intermittent.
  14. Well this is a forum for weather obsessives so why not do both
  15. Because you're making a lot of unsubstantiated claims. It's not pedantry, I'm challenging your claims.
  16. Cambridge looking like the best bet for the record IMO. Come on!
  17. UKV has consistently had 38-39c in the Cambridge area for days leading up to this. I don't think saying it's impossible has any scientific backing.
  18. I don't think we can entirely rule out the possibility of hitting 40c either.
