Speaking as someone who has seen 64 summers I think this is what we used to call “a good one” and the journalistic quest for new records is becoming a bore. What say you? Climate Armageddon, or meh! Question

Are the BBC saying you'll die if you venture out yet?

went out for a ride yesterday evening about 7:30 and it was bliss.
bike was reading 28 degrees but being in moving air was really cooling.
stayed out for a couple of hours and felt a lot better when i got home.

The wife has got a new rental car while her Ford is being repaired - Nissan X-Trail. So after this morning's works meeting we tested out the climate control. Took us 3hrs to buy a sandwich Laughing

what say I? I say most people are bored of Boomers saying 'it was hotter back in my day' and the like when empirical evidence shows it wasnt, 1976 had a highest recorded temperature of 35.9c. This has been beaten in 1990, 2003, 2006, 2015, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 along with a reasonably high expectation for this year to beat it too.

I don't care what fabricated evidence is produced, it was definitely 'otter back in the day and we didn't have any air-con in our works/offices/cars etc.
Fans weren't commonplace and many of us didn't even have fridges.
What's more, we couldn't just clock-off and fuckoff every time the sun put his 'at on!
