We had two climate changed extreme heat days in July and we’ve had an extended period of very warm, sunny, settled days (formerly known as a nice summer) in August. But it’s all gone pear-shaped now. This is tomorrow’s chart. After a sweltering week of blue skies and light winds, it was blowing a gale on the beach today, with driving rain. I came back soaked with numb hands. The rest of August doesn’t look particularly auspicious for the Extreme Weather Moonies hoping to attribute another few hot days to some nasty Thermageddon Molecule consisting of two atoms of oxygen and one of carbon, released in huge quantities by the Satanic ritualised burning of fossil fuels. But what of September. Will we get an Indian Summer? September last year was very warm. The long range jet stream forecast for early September hints at some more settled weather after a generally unsettled end to August. So who knows.
Great article, thanks Jaime.
