Should the UK treat extreme winter weather just like heatwaves—same urgency, same rules?

This is very revealing #ukclimate #summer
Since 2018… 6 of the last 8 summers will have achieved in UK 30C somewhere in all 3 summer months: June, July and August.
This decade already ties with 2000s for the most with four. Not a single year achieved it in the 1900s, 1920s and 1950s.
The decadal breakdown. Draw your own conclusions!
1880s: 1
1890s: 1
1900s: 0
1910s: 1
1920: 0
1930s: 1
1940s: 2
1950s: 0
1960s: 1
1970s: 2
1980s: 2
1990s: 2
2000s: 4
2010s: 3
2020s: 4 with 4 future summers still to come…
2025 will soon join the years where the UK had a max temp of 30C or greater in all three meteorological summer months (JJA).
(The further back the more the data becomes limited so may not be the actual max for that month and some pre-1961 converted from whole Fahrenheit).
The Met Office #StateOfUKClimate Report for 2024 demonstrates that record-breaking and extreme weather has become increasingly commonplace in the UK as our climate continues to change over recent decades. 🌍

A UK court has heard that the approval of Rosebank oilfield didn't account for the climate impact of burning its oil and gas. Critics claim it jeopardizes the UK’s green reputation for minimal domestic benefits. #EnergyPolicy #UKClimate

Spain during the day, Norway during the night; isn’t our UK weather just incredible right now!? We’re so lucky to have such a varied exciting climate as a country. #Auroraborealis #UKweather #UKclimate
A good one for why you should be wary of polling saying things like '56% of voters say Net Zero will push up cost of living':
When you break it down, there's a decent chunk that say 'yes but we should do it anyway'.
True delay segment in this regard is only 27%. #ukclimate
Loch Glascarnoch & Wittering
Latest winter hyetographs
Very wet in the SE, despite dry spells in January, but much drier in the NW.
Despite
I might add that I've never seen Loch Glascarnoch as full as it is at the moment & must be close to 100%

Been a windy few weeks and I've just noticed that renewables have broken even with fossil fuels in terms of energy generated
Record low of carbon intensity, and some huge new offshore wind farms due to come online in near future too

🌍🔋 One less coal mine in the world, as the Merthyr Tydfil is refused an extension. Amazing that Wales is refusing things like this for being against their climate commitments. https://t.co/wjrhCGDqlp #UKClimate #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis
By contrast, the BBC 6 o’clock news today (still main way most normal voters get their news) led with a detailed and excellent report.
This is what the BBC exists for! Don’t let anyone convince you we’d be better without. #ukclimate

Mr Occlusion is back in town!
I counted 15 separate occlusions in this mornings 06 UTC analysis from the UKMO, not a record, but the highest for awhile.

What happens when voters see Labour politicians talking about climate change?
A short thread on an interesting new experiment I helped @LCEF_UK with - a great new organisation launching today. via @OpiniumResearch 🧵 #ukclimate
How do views of UK MPs on climate change compare to the public? In short, there's a few alarming gaps.
A quick thread on new polling with @ECIU_UK, plus a few thoughts (some hope and some despair!) #ukclimate #cop27egypt 👇🧵
This, in Red Box today, is such specious bollocks it’s hard to let it pass by unchallenged. #ukclimate
I love @RoryStewartUK and did before it was cool. But I find his repeated claims on @RestIsPolitics that voters no longer care about climate to be v annoying.
It's really not the case!
What has actually changed this year? It's more complicated. A quick thread 🧵 #ukclimate
