Warm air in association with #StormBran tomorrow might destroy highest max records for Dec 9th by 3C in east. Might see a 16-17C. Remarkable and doubly so given the ☁️ conditions.

Why is it so unsettled at the moment?
A powerful jet stream will continue to drive our weather into next week and may help to rapidly deepen an area of low pressure later on Monday and into Tuesday.

Hurricane Melissa is a record breaker.
210kt gust recorded above the surface setting a new world record, previous was 209kts by Typhoon Megi (2010)
The eye is now down to -5.21 making it the driest eye in Atlantic basin history, the world record is -5.00.
What a beast.

The problem #Trump faces after his second UK state visit is Windsor Castle. He must be thinking “I need to get myself a castle like this!”

Swarm of jellyfish shuts French nuclear plant
Four reactors at France's Gravelines nuclear power plant were shut down late Sunday due to a swarm of jellyfish in the filter drums that pull in cooling water, operator EDF said on Monday.

Current temperatures are just shy of 30C in west London in early afternoon. It’s been 3 weeks since similar hot temps.
Hotter tomorrow expecting 33-34C highs thankfully accompanied with low humidity across inland areas. Southern coastal areas more humid.

This BBC item is about people living in idyllic villages in one of the richest countries of the world - far away from the oceans and the seas.
Climate change is global.
It doesn’t matter if you live by the coast, in a poor village, or in the mountains in a wealthy global capitalist mountain haven.

Why glaciers are threatening to wipe out more mountain villages
Switzerland spends almost $500m a year on protective structures. Is it worth it - or, as some suggest, should people move away from the mountain villages at risk?

Proof, not that it’s actually required, that this so called political organisation and its elected officials are on the wrong side of the intellectual divide. As the USA has demonstrated, intelligence, ethics and public service are not necessarily prerequisites for high office.
Reform mayor Andrea Jenkyns tells Times Radio that she doesn’t believe climate change exists, and that it’s just a “racket” for some people to make money. If Reform win the next election, the UK could become a very different place quite quickly.

Starting Thursday temperatures are likely to exceed 30ºC fairly widely until Tuesday / Wednesday next week. Quite a remarkable spell of hot weather on the way.

It's likely we will reach heatwave criteria Friday - Monday.
Temperatures likely to peak on Monday around 34-35°C, the all time June temperature record certainly under threat there (35.6C).

Another study that shows our warming climate will bring hotter and longer heatwaves to the UK, with the chance of exceeding 40C increasing.
▪️Chance of 40C or above in 1960 was around 0.2%
▪️Chance of 40C or above today is around 4%
▪️Chance of 40C or above in 1960 was around 0.2%
▪️Chance of 40C or above today is around 4%
A Met Office study reveals that the chance of exceeding 40°C in the UK is accelerating at pace.
The chance of exceeding 40°C is now over 20 times more likely than it was in the 1960s.
Temperatures several degrees higher than we saw in July 2022 are possible in today’s climate. bit.ly/4lfcTU4
