Daily temperatures have been measured by the weather station at the site in the south of the city since 1904.

The highest ever temperature in the UK is obviously the result of manmade climate change.

But what was the cause of the previous record temperature ... only .2 degrees celcius less... 36 years ago?

The heat wave is nothing special.

If they had records from when the Romans occupied England, they’d know it’s been hotter.

Fake news, clearly implying the hockey stick graph is true. That one city is hotter than it has been in 105 years in only that city, means nothing for global planetary temperatures since the first ice age scientifically believed to be true.

But they keep duping the dumb and simple minded, and the willfully blind.

Catastrophic anthropogenic globull warming is a propaganda attempt to destroy America’s energy sector and therefore destroy the US economy, to assist our downfall with world influence so the New World Order can take over.

Lies, and damn lies.

Its alright for you, you have air-conditioning. Our houses are geared towards heat retention, not keeping cool.

The evidence that eastern U.S. has given its heat to Europe this year? Its anecdotal, but two items indicate it. A friend in Maine says she has been sleeping with a comforter, which to her is not usual for July nights. My June and July utility bills show my electric use for both months is 30+ % less than June and July in 2018. I am sure my own anecdotal experience has many duplicates all over the eastern U.S.

More heat somewhere usually means less heat somewhere else.

Besides, I was told that weather wasn’t climate.

Been mild in DFW this year, I think maybe we’ve had one day over 100 so far this year. Most days have been in the low 90s.

When I was stationed in England my neighbor committed a crime and I had to give the UK police a statement. I remember it was a pretty hot day for England, in the 90s as I recall, and the poor policemen were wearing their standard heavy wool uniforms and I could tell they were miserable.

2003 European heat wave

France
In France, 14,802 heat-related deaths (mostly among the elderly) occurred during the heat wave, according to the French National Institute of Health. France does not commonly have very hot summers, particularly in the northern areas, but eight consecutive days with temperatures of more than 40 °C (104 °F) were recorded in Auxerre, Yonne in early August 2003.

United Kingdon
Several weather records were broken in the United Kingdom, including the UK's highest recorded temperature 38.5 °C (101.3 °F) at Faversham in Kent on 10 August. This was the first occasion on which temperatures exceeding 100 °F have ever been officially recorded in the UK.

Switzerland
A new nationwide record temperature of 41.5 °C (106.7 °F) was recorded in Grono, Graubünden.

A full .4F over their previous record.

It’s almost like records aren’t permanent or something and summers happen.

When I was stationed in England some decades ago, we had a record setting heatwave that was so severe that railway tracks buckled! (IIRC, this was the summer of 1969 or 1970).

I would wager that it was actually hotter then than now, but that the temp measurements were honest then.
