And not just a little bit warmer - 0.9C is a lot.

That and the lack of rain made grass everywhere look parched.

We are beating all sorts of records, my concern is that the chnage seems to be speeding up.

We had a whole stretch a few weeks back where it basically didn't rain for 3 weeks.

Yes, I remember being quite surprised when it started raining - I’d almost forgotten what it was like.

We love to complain about it, but it's truly unsettling to go weeks without it!

Indeed. Being a pasty ginger who burns under a full Moon I had to really up my sun game. It wasn’t too hot (looking forward to that) but the sun was intense.

I suppose the worry is that it being so dry, so relatively early, any drought will quick in faster and last longer.

Definitely and then when you get lots of rain it's more likely to cause flash flooding due to the ground being so dry!

Indeed - it’ll be falling and flowing away in sheets of water. If we were any good at planning ahead, we’d ensure the river systems could cope but they won’t and it’ll get messy.

We live very close to a river and according to some of the projected climate chnage flooding maps a lot of the riverside areas and lower land areas near the mouth will just be gone. Dont think it's quite sunk in for people the potential impact climate chnage it going to have
