9pm and over 28°C.
Not a bit warm. Not just Summer.
Over 1.5°C warmer than anything seen in the last 70 years and probably centuries before that.
Add it to similar anomalies in May.
I’ve a sneaking suspicion it might have something to do with carbon emissions.

Just 800MW of Gas running on the GB Grid and in April solar topping out the generation. We should not underestimate how big a deal this is and how the source of GB supply is changing.
The crew module on Orion has separated from its service module. After traveling around the Moon, seeing its far side, and experiencing a solar eclipse, the Artemis II astronauts are on the last leg of their trip home.
People in Britain want energy security that doesn't depend on what's happening thousands of miles away.
As the Middle East conflict continues to shake the world - people are asking us about solar, heat pumps and electric cars in record numbers. Solar sales up 54%. Heat pumps up 51%. EV leasing up 36%. Battery installations nearly doubled.
Clean energy and electric tech are becoming the obvious choice for Britain: not just because it's the right thing for the planet. Because it makes financial sense, and the product is simply better.
The @FinancialTimes likened it this week to Americans swapping their Cadillacs for Fords in 1973 - and despite everything going on in the world right now, the point stands: people make smarter choices when the old ones stop making sense.
83% of Britain’s electricity is currently zero carbon.
This is an incredible achievement of which we should be rightly proud and motivated to go further, faster.
Instead, we’ve got fossil fuelled politicians telling us we should be focusing on 93% depleted North Sea oil & gas.
Sometimes there is too much wind for our outdated grid to handle, especially in Scotland and the East of England.
Rather than paying wind farms to switch off we’re trialling a new system where people who live near these constrained areas get cheaper - or even free - electricity.
Norway - sells oil & gas, but uses electricity mainly from renewables. 97% of new cars are electric and heat pumps are main source of heating.
They're barely affected by what's happening in Iran.
Their electricity costs going up 17%, ours going up 60% because we are so much more dependent on gas.
