There's plenty of rubbish in this group about politics, but has no one noticed there's a hot spell coming up? Perhaps even for Dundee?

The GFS map I look at suggests it could get VERY hot. Anyone remember Hot Wednesday of 1808? Possibly 40C and 100 mm hailstones.

(BTW I wonder whether it's worth reporting those who violate the remit of this group to Google as violating the terms of their service as spamming.)

Trevor, that July in 1808 must have been quite something with birds 'dropping out of the sky' from heat exhaustion. A shame that it was before conventional measuring standards. Was 40C achieved that day? If the Synoptics were just right... https://wansteadmeteo.wordpress.com/...ritish-summer/

I very much doubt that they'd take any action. Though they make the
contents of the newsgroups available, they don't have any responsibility
for those newsgroups. I'm not even clear what effective action they
/could/ take, short of refusing to disseminate usw at all. In any case,
are all of the "offenders" using Google Groups for their newsfeed, or
are some (like me) using different providers?

Trevor,

It is being discussed in the other place
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=...therandclimate
in a thread labelled Record Temps.

The "Royal Met Society photo competition" thread is interesting too!

Cheers, Alastair.

Quote''Luke Howard, the ‘father of meteorology’ who at the time lived in
Plaistow, referred to the heatwave in his diary on July 13th: “Temperature
at 9am 84F'' unquote
?Equivalent to 10.00 BST. In 1976 the temperature on the roof of the London
Weather Centre on 26 June was 29c at 10.00 BST
On 10 August the temp at the same
time quoted by the Met Office for London; 31c

On 01 July 2015 Heathrow recorded
32.5c I think @ 10.00 BST with many places over 30c at that time.

temperature at Brogdale, Faversham, Kent. 38.5C

It's been on the cards for a few days Trevor. Going the convo on the other side.

As for google, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be bothered to laugh at your complaint. *))

And have them wonder at the calibre of posts if your is anything to go by?

What do you suppose they'd make of this:
