Why #TemperatureRecords are being not only broken but smashed
Scientists have little doubt that human-caused #ClimateChange - largely the result of the burning of #coal, #oil and #gas - has supercharged the #heat.

A spell of unusually hot weather is affecting the United Kingdom, with meteorologists indicating that a heatwave is likely to be officially declared in parts of the country as temperatures continue to rise. On Saturday, temperatures reached 30.5C in Frittenden, Kent, marking the highest recorded temperature in the UK so far this year and signalling the intensity of the ongoing warm period. Forecasts suggest that the heat will persist and potentially strengthen over the bank holiday period, with the possibility of new national temperature records for May being set. The current all-time UK May temperature record stands at 32.8C, and forecasters have suggested that parts of south-east England could exceed 33C in the coming days. If confirmed, this would surpass historical highs and mark one of the earliest and most intense warm spells recorded for the month. In addition, overnight temperatures may remain unusually high, with a chance that the May night-time record of 18.9C could also be broken if conditions remain warm through the evening. The Met Office defines heatwave conditions based on regional thresholds that must be met for at least three consecutive days, ranging from 25C in northern areas to 28C in parts of southern and eastern England. Several regions are expected to meet or exceed these criteria, meaning a prolonged heatwave could be officially recognised. While tourism and hospitality sectors are benefiting from the warm, sunny conditions, health authorities have issued amber heat-health alerts across parts of the Midlands and eastern England due to potential risks associated with sustained high temperatures. Officials also note that climate change is contributing to an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events in the UK. Despite the heat, not all regions will be affected equally, with parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland expected to remain cooler and cloudier.

The UK is experiencing unusually high temperatures for May, which are expected to intensify over the upcoming bank holiday weekend. Daytime highs are predicted to reach the upper 20s Celsius across much of the country, with some areas potentially exceeding 30C. London recorded its warmest day of the year so far, surpassing the official heatwave threshold of 28C. Amber heat health alerts have been issued for the Midlands, eastern and south-east England, highlighting potential health risks for vulnerable populations, including children and the elderly. The remainder of England is under yellow alerts, indicating likely adverse effects on those groups. Central and southern England, along with parts of Wales, are expected to experience the highest temperatures this weekend, while western Scotland and Northern Ireland will remain cooler. Sunday may see the declaration of the first heatwaves of 2026 as certain areas reach their third consecutive day above the heatwave threshold. Bank holiday Monday could become the hottest May day on record, with temperatures forecast to reach 33C in south-east England, surpassing the previous record from 1944. The heat is prolonged, with temperatures unlikely to return to seasonal norms for almost a week. This early-season warmth aligns with broader climate trends driven by human-induced climate change.
I'm pretty sure #PortlandME broke a record for highest temperature on 5/19. NWS temperature records seem to be down. Figures...

Yup. Welcome to #ClimateChange. Winter to Summer (and maybe back to Winter again) in record time! Also, #Maine is going to tie/break the record for the high on #March10th
Monday soars to a springlike 68 degrees. Warmth not letting up, with a good shot of record-setting highs Tuesday.
Highs will reach the upper 60s and low 70s across the region
