Temperature not freaking everyone out?

Who's cutting down the energy supply?

Humans thrive in temperate conditions , not too hot, not too cold.

You do know that cutting down energy supply will be deadly for millions?

And that humans thrive in warmer periods and struggle in mini ice ages?

I tried to Google it all I got was the winter of 85 86. Perhaps you could share link, burden of proof and all that.

So far. Thought that would be fairly obvious. You can Google it too.

@Snowflakeslayer how can you have an average annual temperature for a year that hasn't finished yet?

Was hotter this time of year in
the 70’s, in an era full of pollution . Total hype. Ignore the scaremongering media morons.
Coldest average annual temperature in the UK for 2023 for 87 years. Fact.

25C here. Feels so unnatural. Not feeling well today and want to sleep under my duvet but it's too hot. 😪

It’s interesting to read people’s anecdotes about weather in past years. It’s good to know that people are getting on with their lives, and not worrying about the future - as what good would it do anyway.
Yet, it’s still surprising to find that so many are still able to perform this feat, when the news is increasingly and urgently highlighting the approaching horrors.
Perhaps it’s a pain to click on links, so I’ll just type out one paragraph from an article in Friday’s “i “ newspaper written by James Dyke, associate professor in Earth system science at the University of Exeter.
”The temperature anomaly last month didn’t just break records, it obliterated them. We are living on a planet that is 1.8 degrees C warmer than pre-industrial periods. Is global warming accelerating and out of control? Are we facing climate catastrophe sooner than we feared?”

He goes on to explain in detail what is happening and concludes

”The bottom line here is we just don’t know if the stable climate of the past 11,000 years is rapidly coming to an end, if the door to a safe operating space for humanity is in the process of being slammed shut. Beneath the surprise and shock of recent temperature increases lays a profound dread about the world we are creating.”

Justin Rowlat summed it up succinctly on News at Ten last night.

mid October is invariably mild and balmy, around the 18th, known as St Luke’s little Summer
late August is invariably wild wet and windy, calms down in the first two weeks of September, when children return to school

in England we mostly enjoy fair weather, with a temperate climate - bank bursting qriver/torrential rain caused flooding, heathland fires, dried up reservoirs, coastal erosion, Spring tides, lightning strikes, hail rain sleet and snow notwithstanding

It's often warmer in late September early October than august and it's often drier too. Around tge werk of the school half term is typically where it suddenly swings almost straight into winter.

@Fifireee I haven't been able to find the thread please could you post a link thank you

One of today's headlines.

You can reminisce all you like about October heatwaves in the past.

But basically it is irrelevant -

Temps still in the 20's here and too warm this evening and most evenings trying to sleep. Windows have been open still. Autumn will go so quickly this year. 😔

I gave birth to my daughter in mid October in the early 90s and we had been having a heatwave. It broke with a big storm on that day - I had gone in to hospital wearing a light, floaty maternity dress and went home 2 days later in the most peculiar warmer outfit that my husband had picked out from my wardrobe, bearing no resemblance to what I had asked him to fetch !

It’s not rare at all to have a warm period in October, but the nights aren’t as sticky as summer as sunset is so much earlier.

I remember many moons ago going for a night out on Halloween and it was distinctly warm. It ebbs and flows.

I remember it being much colder round this time of year in the 80s too. September is basically another summer month now. October hasn't even felt autumnal yet. I'm still wearing summer dresses and sandals most days. We haven't even contemplated putting the heating on yet.

You’re not being unreasonable to note it. I’m not freaking out though. I am trying to accept that life will imperceptibly and sometimes suddenly, nastily, get a lot tougher for all of us over the coming years. And that not only governments and big business, but perfectly normal nice people, are burying their heads and pretending it’s not happening.

You’ll have your wish within about 10 years - if not sooner.

And no - it’s not ‘good thing’.

Yes to the OP - I’m thinking the weather/climate is going to get a lot more interesting in the next decade. And not in a fun way.

The rate glaciers are melting worldwide you better hurry up to get that skiing holiday in!

It's not that unusual. My son's birthday is at the start of Oct. He's a teenager, but has had several really hot birthdays, mostly over 10 years ago. What concerns me more is the constant wind that we have experienced thus summer. It's been like no other summer that I have ever experienced.

No it wouldn't be a good thing at all.

No it wouldn’t. The natural cycle would be completely messed up.

It would be so good if it stayed like this all winter

26C predicted on Saturday. This is not normal. Neither are the mild overnight temperatures.
