I was awaiting the barrage of Global Warming deniers flooding my inbox and telling me it was a warmer climate in the 60's.

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!

It is all our misfortunes the we have to endure the rubbish of the
Unprecedented Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Change Global Heating
Emergency Alarm system.

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.
