Temperatures pass 32C as first UK area enters heatwave

Heat health alerts remain in place across England as Suffolk becomes the first area to enter a heatwave.

Ridiculously high temperatures expected this coming week in the UK. Not fun when our buildings are designed to insulate, have poor air flow, and air conditioning isn't widely found in buildings, well, except supermarkets or high-end offices. Just everything is built around the idea that an unusually hot summer day is 18C (64F), not 32C (90F).

In March, the Trump administration created a novel way for companies to potentially avoid complying with environmental rules: Simply send an email to the Environmental Protection Agency and request an exemption.

US to rewrite its past national climate reports

US President Donald Trump's administration is revising past editions of the nation's premier climate report -- its latest move to undermine the scientific consensus on human-caused global warming.

We deserve extinction.

This is the most brutal summer I can remember. Hugging forecasters keep promising that rain is going to cool things down a little bit, but I've been watching in increasing annoyance all week as every blob on the radar either abruptly swerves around my neighborhood or disintegrates like it's slamming into a forcefield.

I blame the Jewish space lasers.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Why haven't I gotten my invite yet? I wanna play with the space laser.

Local Jew Feels Left Out Of Worldwide Jewish Conspiracy

SOUTHFIELD, MI—It is an hour past sunset on a brisk Thursday night, and, like their brethren around the globe, the Jews of this affluent Detroit suburb are gathered in synagogues, busily hatching plots for world domination through financial chicanery and media influence. But for Seth Nussbaum...

That happens to me too.

Not to divert from our usual black humor, but I’ve seen the same thing here.

I think it’s the Air Force Base we’re right next to. I still maintain that the air flight activity “stirs up” the local atmosphere enough to be disruptive element in storm paths and intensity. Not to a grand degree (those 60MPH+ fronts are going to smash through anything), but enough that lower speed systems can be effected.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I do live pretty close to an airport, and all the storms here right now are slow speed stuff, except when they hit warp speed to swerve around me. They are obviously running into something that's either yanking them away or shearing them into oblivion.

Do you have any local witches who really really don't like rain, perhaps?

 

[wonko the sane?]

My sister in law in a witch: and that is a hurtful stereotype. Most witches have gardens, and are also incredibly lazy.

I swear, the impact of the wizard of oz will never die.

 

[Fullstrength Motleypuss]

Or a wizard, perhaps?

 

[CoffeeHorse]

It's finally raining.

They know I know...

I don't know how she feels about rain but there is a genuine local witch here. Genuinely 100% the real deal.

 

[KidTDragon]

Green skin, pointy black hat, long nose with a wart on it, always stirring a boiling cauldron and cackling?

 

[wonko the sane?]

What was just said about stereotypes. Frank Baum has poisoned lord knows how many generations about witches...

 

[KidTDragon]

Sorry. I'll issue a public apology, blaming the hurtful language I used on a heretofore undisclosed substance abuse problem and promising to seek rehabilitation after resigning from my current position to spend more time with my family.
