From Hampshire and IoW Weather Book
1976
14 consecutive days in June topped 32 deg C in southern England (1 or
many sites?)
Hurn Airport run of seven days in June above 32 deg C

From the Philip Eden Book
1976
15 days with a temp of 32 deg C or more somewhere in England and on 5 of
those (non-consecutive ?) days the mercury passed 35 deg C (not at only
one site ?)

It could be worse, your inbox could have been flooded with messages from
Global Warming alarmists. The only real surprise of this current spell
of weather is that some maladjusted thermometer badly located in an
urban heat island and subject to the wind being in from Africa might
have led to another spate of sensationalist but irrelevant outpourings.

You wouldn't beleive the rubbish I have to endure!

Bruce shows on his blog the 'heatwave' of 1976 was worse than the present one we have been experiencing.
I tend to agree with him, the present definition of a heatwave is ridiculous.
Anything more unscientific I can't think of.
No wonder the media say we are getting 'heatwaves' more frequently.
We should just be looking at daily maxes and their distribution.

Doesn't matter what way we look at this, the number and frequency of record daily, monthly, yearly and decadal maxes are increasing all over the world and will continue to do that. It's now inevitable.

Denial died a decade ago.

The crazy definition of heatwaves does not do the science any favours.
Who is denying warming amongst the general public?
It is not deniers that are the problem it is the ignorers and that is due to global economics. Something that atm is slowing down, forced by other reasons.
No more jetting off for holidays in the Canaries Paul.

Having seen the evidence presented in this thread concerning how
definitions are adjusted and data is manipulated to suit a particular
agenda I'd say /that/ was the usual tosh. Alarmists alarm - it's what
they do. Keep in mind that in the Unprecedented Catastrophic
Anthropogenic Climate Change Global Heating Emergency Alarm system, only
the future is certain. The past is constantly being revised, as has been
demonstrated..
