Fancy a lifestyle change? My relatives are selling their place perched high above the Caithness coast, looking west to the Sutherland hills and north across the Pentland Firth to Orkney. rightmove.co.uk/properties/151…

Yesterday (1 Sept) the temperature hit 30C at Wiggonholt, West Sussex. We've now seen 30C recorded in the UK in September on four of the last five years. In the whole of the last century (1900-1999) it only happened on 11 years in total.

Summer 2024 was the coolest in a decade. 40 years ago it would have been anomalously warm for many areas. Shifting perceptions in a rapidly warming climate.

A s flake is to blizzard, as C urve is to sphere, as knot is to net, as O ne is to many, as coin is to money, as R ock is to mountain, as drop is to fountain, as spring is to river, as N ear is to far, as light is to star, as kindness is to good –– so acorn is to wood.

The UK summer has been cool compared to ones from the last 10 years, but it would have been the warmest summer in the 1960s, the third warmest in the 1970s and the 4th warmest of the 1980s. This #dataviz shows the summer versus other summers since 1884. #globalwarming

Until this heatwave... Sweden 🇸🇪 and Norway 🇳🇴 had never hit > 30 °C in September. New national records have been set and by huge margin. Extraordinary weather pattern in Europe right now. THREAD

A remarkable satellite image - the eye of #typhoon #yagi almost directly over the city of Haikou, with a population of over 3m people, the textbook tropical cyclone symbol, the curved banding almost looks like it's been painted by a brush - just, wow!
