I reckon after this dry period, we will literally be beating these records too... https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/binaries/content/assets/metofficegovuk/pdf/weather/learn-about/uk-past-events/interesting/2012/record-rainfall---april-to-july-2012---met-office.pdf

We saw it during COVID, Labour Run councils and TfL roads are so poor, the rain just turns to puddles. It's never been so bad than the last two years, even when Labour was in power previously it's not that bad.

London narrowly avoided post-heatwave blackout WWW.BBC.CO.UK The hottest UK days on record led to extreme constraints in the power system amid hiked up demand. Ooops! Wonder what the total bill was.

When do we get Hosepipe bans? Surely Govt should be thinking of this already, and go in early just so we protect farms and other industries. I know the opposition is more focused on Parties, Beer and failed policies - but Govt should take action soon, or is this down to LAs/Water companies or Environment Agency?

Whilst I don't disagree, I don't think the last 3 years are guaranteed to be our future. Earths climate is so volatile, and I think we will experience cooler and wetter months and years soon. A rise in temperatures in theory should make storms more violent, it has not. We've just more settled weather, more sunshine and tapped into more settled heat rather than explosive storms. -

I think a lot of it has to do with the moisture content. What's also happened in those years gone by is a weaker than average (note not normal) as when the Atlantic does get going it's horrendous, but I think back to those wet summery days of 1990s-2000s and they were always wet. I don't remember weather this dry on average. But I think the tide will turn and there's going to be some upcoming summers, we never wished we moaned about. -
I was just discussing with my colleague. I walk to work, she walks to the station and in 2.5 years we've never had it rain on more than one hand of counts. When I was a kid it rained more and more, never as dry as this.

Just sitting on my balcony. Everyone but the Thai Airways crew flat out went around the stuff over Rochester/Maidstone. Can tell they are used to proper storms that most pilots wouldn't venture through. The stuff in the Malaysian/Thai peninsular are lethal. -
