It was far from the hottest, driest, or sunniest summer since 1884 and the only thing which marked it out as being unusual was the large jump in minimum overnight temperatures, meaning that on this metric alone, summer 2025 was warmer than the previous record minimum overnight temperatures set in summer 2003.
Most statistics about the climate are just conjecture. You can cherry-pick the results that give you what you want to portray. It doesn'r matter what they say, the next ice-age is on its way, slowly and there's nothing you can do about it.
Hi Jamie - never heard of this "increase in the frequency and persistence of double jet stream states over Eurasia" until now. So thanks for the link to that paper.
Long read & many quotes I could give, but for now this stood out for me -
"However, modeling studies have reported an anomalous high-pressure response located off the UK coast in future warming scenarios in summer, favoring hot and dry weather over western Europe 30,31.
Here, we study how European temperature extremes are linked to large-scale atmospheric circulation and in particular jet stream states and analyze how potential changes therein might have contributed to upward heatwave trends. We argue that the accelerated trend in western European heatwaves is linked to an increase in the persistence of double jets in the upper troposphere."
Yes, naturally the paper tries its best to link the double jet stream configuration and atmospheric blocking in summer to accelerated warming over the Arctic. It's probably how they managed to get the paper published. However, this is probably as doomed as the attempt to link especially cold winters over Europe and the US to Arctic amplification (warming), which supposedly causes a 'wavy jet stream'. Please see my article
My own recent post on “The charade of Net Zero” proves conclusively that UK Net Zero is utterly pointless and explains why the treasonous UK Uniparty insists on pursuing this ruinously-expensive, economy-wrecking agenda: https://edmhdotme.wpcomstaging.com/the-charade-of-net-zero-2/.
I will just keep chipping away at their 'settled science' arguments because these, in the final analysis, form the basic justification for this entire 'climate crisis' scam.

I've got an entire UK Met folder filled with their shenanigans
Many thanks Jaime. Here in the south of England we had a very dry summer but not especially hot.
The lying MSM and Green Blob, including the pseudoscience-dependent UK Met Office, have a lot to answer for. Can we hope for future prosecutions?
Thankfully the climate change hoax is unravelling globally, as documented by Tilak Goshi in his recent post that “The tide is turning decisively against Net Zero”: https://dailysceptic.org/2025/09/06/the-tide-is-turning-decisively-against-net-zero/.
