July 2026 was an exceptional month for the UK's climate statistics, with records challenged or broken for rainfall, temperature and sunshine. Read more in our press release ⤵️ www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

"The #climate we live in today is the least extreme climate you will experience in your lifetimes because of ongoing fossil fuel emissions."

The missing words in the climate conversation are not human-caused climate change, but fossil fuel emissions. By Hayley Fowler and myself: theconversation.com/was-this-hea...

‘Was this heatwave caused by climate change?’ – we’re asking the wrong questionInstead of asking whether climate change caused a heatwave, we should ask how much hotter it became because of fossil fuel emissions.theconversation.com

Heat waves come, and heat waves go, but burning fossil fuels make them hotter, more frequent, and longer.

Plug-in solar panels are coming to the UK from August 27th! It's been in the pipeline for a while & it's already common in Germany. But it's BRILLIANT because it opens up these technologies to renters & ppl w/o their own roof. Plugs into a normal socket & supplies ~ 10-20% of household needs. ☀️🎉

Short-sighted, stupid cuts to the UKRI budget include shutting down Jodrell Bank, the icon of British astronomy. (Many other cuts too, including 20% to our brand new @vrubinobs.bsky.social). Interesting politically to shut down a major facility in...um..Manchester 🔭 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Jodrell Bank's Lovell telescope faces axe in science cuts, BBC understandsAstronomers warn it would tear the heart out of UK science, and leave a generation untrained.www.bbc.co.uk

I'm absolutely devastated for colleagues at Jodrell Bank who found out this morning that funding for the UK's e-MERLIN radio telescope array will be terminated. This is a short-sighted move, to save a tiny fraction of the overall UK science budget. #SaveJodrellBank 🔭🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The 13 biggest myths about heatwaves – and how to bust them

The 13 biggest myths about heatwaves – and how to bust themWith some still unable to accept humanity’s role in climate chaos, we tackle common misconceptions and deceptionswww.theguardian.com

In the 20th century, there were many years where the temperature never exceeded 30°C *anywhere* in the UK. In 1974, the highest temperature was a mere 28.0°C, which really underscores how extreme 1976 was for the time. That climate no longer exists.

Temperatures peaked at 35.2°C today at Coton in the Elms, Derbyshire This means 2026 has now broken even more temperature records 🌡️

Temperatures have exceeded 34°C today for the 8th day this year 🌡️ That makes it a record for the most number of 34°C or higher in a calendar year 👇 The record was previously set in 1976 and 2020 for 7 days

The UK ‘only’ contributes 1% of global emissions – in our new article for @theconversation.com we show why it doesn't make us exempt from climate action. theconversation.com/uk-only-cont... @chlobrim.bsky.social @eciu.net @bas.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk

UK ‘only’ contributes 1% global emissions – but alongside many other countries, that all adds upIf many countries take the stance that ‘we’re only contributing 1% of global emissions’, responsibility dwindles and action stalls.theconversation.com

Comparing the UK heatwaves of June 1976 and June 2026... Daytime maximum & night minimum temperatures were much hotter in 2026. Details: maxima over 21st-30th June in both years. Uses provisional 2026 HadUK-Grid data from Met Office NCIC. Note the difference scale is larger for night minimums.

Interested in historical weather observations? The @royalsociety.org have scanned their entire meteorological collection from Antarctica to Greenland and put the documents online: royalsociety.org/news/2026/06...

Historic weather data made available to scientists and public, spanning Antarctica to Greenland | Royal SocietyAn archive of over 1600 sets of meteorological, magnetic and tidal observations taken from 1706-1915 from across the globe has been digitised for the first time.royalsociety.org

As further data from our observation network has been made available over the weekend, the provisional new UK highest June temperature on record is 37.7°C at Lingwood, Norfolk. 🌡️
