Fascinating! I see that Luton has had at least 60 days of 70+ each year
since 1989 ( less a blip in 1993) and this is easily the longest such
sequence since at least 1900. The date of the upward trend ( 1989) fits in
well with the apparent shift to a warmer regime, shown by other data, which
started in 1988/1989. For example, the frequency of days of 'days with snow
falling' here has gone down by almost 50% since 1988.
I also notice that the ghastly summer of 1954 was eclipsed by 1956 as far as
70+ days are concerned.
