@jmac_thefoodsta @robster12065612 May sure was a very variable month, ‘saved’ by the heatwave.
March, April - above average but at that time of year still cool enough to need heating on.

[David Watson @DavidW63]

@robster12065612 Nope. ‘Warm’ relative to seasonal averages can still be cold enough to need the heating on. Surely you can see that?

@TheSnowDreamer @sunbeam007 Thank you. Much appreciated. I like your content greatly.

[David Watson @DavidW63]

@DavidGHFrost Perhaps it is not madness, just a thought.
You’ve personally not got a whole lot right in the last decade have you? Be honest!

[David Watson @DavidW63]

@sunbeam007 @TheSnowDreamer Thank you!

[David Watson @DavidW63]

@sunbeam007 @TheSnowDreamer To be clear I’m not in denial of the numbers but this record spring was nailed by one extreme heatwave and there was no need for @TheSnowDreamer to be openly rude to others fascinated by weather.
Extremes, and variability are what worry me.

@GillW1220 @BlueDiamond0000 @TheSnowDreamer Now not not!!!

[David Watson @DavidW63]

@GillW1220 @BlueDiamond0000 @TheSnowDreamer Quite normal in summer not… which it really wasn’t back in’t day.. …

@fmeikle @PolitlcsUK 😂

[David Watson @DavidW63]

@TheSnowDreamer You are being unnecessarily rude which is rather unbecoming.

Try posting without calling people liars or ignorant. There is simply no need.

[David Watson @DavidW63]

@cosmicpop @TheSnowDreamer @BlueDiamond0000 We don’t normally have May heatwaves so never say no to one in October.
Really though you need to compare the last week of May to the first week of September for equivalence.

[David Watson @DavidW63]

@BlueDiamond0000 @TheSnowDreamer I genuinely like the weather posts from @TheSnowDreamer but not being abusive!
This was mid May… without the heatwave we probably still be moaning about unseasonal cold .. extreme variability that seasonal averages don’t show

[David Watson @DavidW63]

@fmeikle @PolitlcsUK I said some …!
Fully accept they will be predominantly English 🙂

[David Watson @DavidW63]

@TheSnowDreamer @BlueDiamond0000 Liar? Show tolerance! It is perception and also you don’t know where in the UK this person lives.

I’m central southern England. The dramatic heatwave skewed an otherwise poor and often cold May. March and April were dry and not so warm as to indicate a record warm spring.

@Edwina_Currie If you get the full new state pension and have no other income then you are above the threshold for pension credit.

Nice of you to point out that many who could get Pension Credit don’t claim but don’t give false hope.

[David Watson @DavidW63]

@fmeikle @PolitlcsUK There will be some Scots in the mix…

[David Watson @DavidW63]

@Petagna Saved by the heatwave. An otherwise largely unremarkable with an unusual cold anomaly in mid May.

[David Watson @DavidW63]

@DaveThroup Rescued by the heatwave.

[David Watson @DavidW63]

@nickdhurt Index, but not before it has been reset to where it would have been.
Same also for the student loan threshold.

It government genuinely needs more tax, raise the rate.
