It has been the wettest 6 months across the whole of England since records began in 1871.

The wettest 12 months across 18 English catchments

And the wettest 18 month period for England on record.

It has been a very wet first half of Spring, and the jet stream remains over the UK at the moment, giving us a showery northwesterly air flow

The jet will shift north though allowing high pressure to build across the UK, meaning a generally fine weekend is on the way

Yesterday's #reptile survey walk turned into an #amphibian survey with smooth & palmate newts, frog spawn & tadpoles recorded. The promised sunshine never turned up until we were leaving so no lizards were seen at #Stanage

Dozens of monthly heat records fell in France today. Even more incredible that it’s only early April.

Temperatures in Biarritz last night didn’t fall below 22.5°C beating not only the April record but also May & June’s!

Big trouble ahead.

Things are not improving in the North Atlantic. The new records being set every day are crushing the previous highs set just last year.

For example, yesterday the North Atlantic SST was 20.41°C, beating last year's record 19.94°C by almost 0.5°C.

Winter just gone was warmest on record for the Canary Is with no snow reported on Mt Teide for 1st time since records began in 1916. Water emergency in Tenerife.

The tropics just had its hottest day on record on March 13th, reaching 26.87°C, barely beating the previous record of 26.83°C on April 24th, 2016.

That's right, there's over a month of heating ahead before the Tropics hits its yearly peak.

Most people, including myself, want to support the UK's farmers, but my goodness, they make it really, really difficult.

This is tonight and it will be good! Still tickets… 😁 skiddle.com/e/38051382

Dorset Council celebrating £2m it's received from the 'Network North' funds, to fill potholes in Dorset. I'm sure the North will be delighted that Dorset has joined it.

Yes, it has been very wet in England over the past 18 months. The wettest on record (since 1836).

This time last year global sea temperatures entered uncharted territory.

Since then the increase has been frankly unbelievable!

Yet this chart receives very little media attention.

We’re just awaiting the inevitable consequences. Which will come as a surprise to most.
