It's hard to be more eloquent than Ed Hawkins - possibly always, but particularly on this. I am worried. I and a bit frightened. And I do wonder, have we crossed a tipping point? Has climate change vs weather mean we haven't yet noticed? We wouldn't know.


Looks like the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team car is black, but PAINTED black, not just carbon. P1 with Matt & Tommy - is this even worse than just being carbon?


Really exciting to yesterday be given an award by Royal Meteorological Society - It's a real honour and such recognition really does make an enormous difference, thank you.


"It's a cold June" (1.6C colder than average for first 10 days of June Reading Meteorology ) but it's still warming significantly during June as these (1991-2020) averages show. This isn't unusual ('13 &'15 similar). Globe was 1.5C warmer than pre-industry in May (11th month in a row).


This am, Reading Meteorology observatory Uni of Reading took the maximum temperature reading for 26th (hottest day of the year so far). Which means, as of this morning's reading, the June daytime max are WARMER than the climatology. Just 2 weeks ago the cold was newspaper worthy. #Weather
