I like to share the beauty and drama of nature.

A simply stunning view climbing out of #Innsbruck yesterday afternoon on @British_Airways as the sunset reflects off the @zugspitze2962 - highest peak in #Germany #alps #photography #weatherpics #mountains

@leblancq_f We are now at 13 days > 30c this year. The previous record was 8 days in 2022. Quite extraordinary as there look to be more to come.

@Met4CastUK And the sad outcome of that heat - our neighbours farm. Absolutely heartbreaking.

@BBCJersey @Channel103

This is the heartbreaking reality of the impact of last week’s heatwave. It’s time we started realising the devastating impact our changing climate is having on our farmers. Do people know where their food comes from?

[Matthew Green @MatthewGreenJSY]

@lembitopik I would happily explain in very clear detail, but there’s no point because my hunch is, you don’t care about truth. But if you really genuinely do want to educate yourself, it’s all to do with the jetstream and arctic warming. Lots of studies online.

@Jersey_Met Thank you! Very useful visual this one!

Based on 1981-2010 normals at Jersey Airport, June mean daily max is 18.4°C. 39.3°C is ~21°C above average.

With typical SD of daily Tmax in UK summer maritime climates around 3°C, this is roughly 7 standard deviations above the mean — an extraordinarily rare outlier, even after adjusting for recent warming shifting the baseline up ~1°C. Previous all-time record (~35-36°C) was already extreme; this shattered it dramatically.

@Jersey_Met Could you do an update please 🙏🏻

@PhilUranuss @Hudsonweather Only it’s not an airport site. Maison St Louis is an observatory.

[Met4Cast - UK Weather @Met4CastUK]

Jersey has set a new all time temperature record of 39.3C.

It's officially the hottest day Jersey has ever recorded since records began in 1894.

[Jersey Met @Jersey_Met]

With a temperature of 39.3°C recorded at the Maison St. Louis Observatory, Jersey has recorded it's hottest day since records began in 1894. The previous record was 37.9°C on 18th July 2022.

[Jersey Met @Jersey_Met]

A maximum temperature of 35.8°C today in Jersey, though down on yesterday's maximum, it was still the 5th hottest day since records began in 1894.

[Jersey Met @Jersey_Met]

A maximum temperature of 37.2°C today in Jersey, the 2nd hottest day since records began in 1894.
This is also a record temperature for June, previously 33.4°C in 2025.

[Matthew Green @MatthewGreenJSY]

France will be headline news next week. Europe’s infrastructure and critical services are about to be severely stretched and it’ll highlight how ill prepared we are for these once impossible events.

[Weather Watcher @WXWatcher07]

Monday, June 22. People will look at this temperature forecast and call it “alarmism”.

“Summer is supposed to be hot”
“France has always gotten 40°C”
“Stop fear-mongering”

These comments and many others are far too common. True, it’s gotten to 40°C in France before. That in itself isn’t extraordinary. What people fail to realize is that we are still in June, and these temperatures are expected just barely after the official start of summer. Not only that, but this heatwave will last for days.

Temperatures in the upper 30’s and even exceeding 40°C throughout much of France, not just the southwest, well into next week is “normal”? Extremely high temperatures like this are also expected across several large population centers in France including Paris.

Yeah, summer is hot… but this? This should warrant your attention. Things are changing.

[Jersey Met @Jersey_Met]

May 2026 in Jersey - Warmest May since records began in 1894, 0.7°C above the previous record. Unprecedented heat with multiple records broken. Drier and sunnier than average.

[alan rusbridger @arusbridger]

We’re downplaying stuff that should be banner headlines. We’ve been
trapped into thinking of climate change as ‘woke.’ We – wrongly – think our
readers don’t care. And when we get the hottest May on record we, once
again, miss the real story. https://t.co/FjDk82cjEr

[Extreme Temperatures Around The World @extremetemps]

This is absolutely CRAZY.
5 DAYS IN A ROW >30C in JERSEY,CHANNEL ISLANDS.

In nearly 150 years, it had NEVER HAPPENED IN SUMMER
and it's happening now in May,when sea temperature is much lower than in late summer.
This is beyond imagination
It eclipses any extreme event in Europe

[Jersey Met @Jersey_Met]

At Maison St. Louis observatory, temperatures once again rose to above 30 Celsius, which was the 5th day in a row. That has never been seen before since records began, at any time of year.

[Matthew Green @MatthewGreenJSY]

@Jersey_Met - I think you mean 1894, not 1984!

Beating the previous record (before this weekend) by such an exceptional margin has extremely concerning implications.

Scenario that margin to our current 37.9c record and the outcomes would be severe.

🌡️ 30.1°C at Maison St Louis Observatory today — the earliest 30°C+ on record (previous: June 6, 1996 at 30.7°C). This also breaks the May temperature record of 28.9°C set on May 30, 2003. Marking an exceptional early-season temperature record. 🌡️
