they said the last heatwave was the last one and before that the last one was the one before the last but last one. Although we will eventually run out of sunlight in about December

These are the hotest days up here in Aberdeen this summer.

Thanks for reminding me why I do not live in my birth city. Most days are therefore less than 21 deg. In summer.
But 29 deg - thatās v hot for Aberdeen. I think I also read that the highest over night temperature this year was 18 deg. The city isnāt designed for thatā¦
I donāt want to fall out with anyone, I just got home from the hospital after taking Mrs Fox for a scan and couldnāt do anything in the heat, so I found myself at a loose end.
I decided to vent my spleen on the forum.
Contrary to popular belief, Iām not a tin foil hat wearing lunatic, or even much of a conspiracy theorist, most of the stuff I post is to make people think and to come up with some answers.
They are more āWhat Ifāsā than facts, and interspersed with some facts gleaned from my old school teachers, books, and google (I know).
And sometimes Iām a grumpy old Bāstardā¦
Iām glad we cleared that up.
However, as I took Mrs Fox to the hospital we passed the āTown Fieldsā a very large grassed area just outside town and I noticed how brown it was, together with the verges and lawns in peoples gardens (not mine though) and thought Iān not seen it as bad as this before.
Even though we have had hotter weather than we are experiencing now, it usually is broken up now and then with some proper rain showers that this year seems to be lacking.

Lembit Opik is now a proper climatologist? Was that a qualification he studied for during or after his dalliance with the Cheeky Girls? I was not aware that in between his busy schedule of self-promotion he had time to gain any qualificationsā¦
Perhaps not but Judith Curry is.
Sheās feeling a bit better today Besoeker thanks for asking, her leg seems to be losing the inflammation and the swelling is going down.

Not what AI says Spittyā¦
How about this inflammationā¦
Was the temperature yesterdayā¦Phew!
I wonder why they donāt fill fire extinguishers with the CO2 saved in āCarbon Captureā
and use it to to put out the wild firesā¦
Perhaps the wild fires have started because weāve taken all of the CO2 out of the atmosphere and we all know that Oxygen without natures natural fire retardent will cause dry foliage to ignite and burn.
You need to stop corresponding with Ai Foxy, we have trained it but the time has come to stop encouraging It

Probably more to do with swan vestaās used inappropriately.

I donāt have to go to university and study weather patterns or spend 4 years to get a degree. Even spend hundreds of Ā£s on tutorials.
No! What I do is just look at the sky, and if it look like rain I stick my hand outside the door first to find out if it is or not . Total cost zero. If raining just staying inside with a cup of coffee

Loosen up RS 
I think you need to read up on Ms Curry. Not the academic with unblemished record that one might expect. Far from it.
