@withaveeay there are fires in Scotland as well?

@fedops @withaveeay It's pretty much inevitable; the ground is tinder dry. As someone who lives in a wood, I'm very much aware of the situation.

Temperature 24°C outside in the shade right now (before noon) at 55°N, 4°W - and forecast to be hotter this afternoon.

Yes, inevitable given current conditions but also pretty shocking that there are #Wildfires in #Scotland in #June. You do worry that this might become “normal” all too soon, and that we forget how things used to be (always changing of course but still). #ShiftingBaselineSyndrome #ClimateDiary #Daviot

@pvonhellermannn @fedops @withaveeay I think we have to assume this is normal right now. We're passing 1.5ºC, and given the arctic clathrates will now be melting, there's no going back.

It's ok, we're going to get more capacity for aircon because they're firing up a coal plant.🙃

Oh, for $DEITY's sake!

The United Kingdom is so deservedly fucked.

Posthumously. But then, like your own named drink in the Afterlife bar, that's kind of the way of it.
