Here in the Midlands it has reached 114 degrees. I was close to suicide…until I stuck my head in the freezer…that kept me going for…ooh…about 2 minutes.
Had a whole day of thunderstorms yesterday which I love though.
Wierdest weather around here? Had a tornado a few years back(this is England, remember)…not too strong but I got photos of it and filmed it.
This is kinda OT but on the 23rd of September 1999 and 2002, this region had an Earthquake…at exactly the same date at the same time. Too wierd…I’m lookng forward to the 23rd Sep next year now.

The midlands is the UKs worst earthquake spot (although never above 3-4 on the richter scale), in fact from what my Dad said there was an earthquake round there 30-40 years ago that actually raised a chunk of ground up a foot or two.
And another stange fact is that East Anglia has the most number of tornadoes per sq. mile than any other part of the world!
Hehe, I remember the earthquake from 2002. I remember looking at my door vibrating pretty badly, and thinking there was something wrong with my eyes XD
The epicentre wasn’t too far away from where I live, I don’t think. it was in one of the villages apparently.

LOL, Ive also heard of one in Sheffield that happened about 10 years ago now
Both times I woke up from the shaking then fell back to sleep, waking up the next morning thinking it was a dream or something…until the news tells me otherwise.
How can anyone cope with that level of heat? People are actually dying in Europe from heat strokes and heat exhaustion. We weren’t equipped to handle it.
We should’ve thought of that before global warming.
Look how quickly the summer has changed. It takes thousands/millions of years for an evolutionary change. Its becoming too hot too quickly and humans won’t be able to deal with it.
It’s not just the heat that’s changing, heck, where I live it snowed this february for the first time in my life (ok it only did it for like ten mins but it’s still very weird) , it like never ever snows here…and in february!!! Normally it’s almost like spring time here by then!!!
And the summer isn’t as hot as in other european countries which is never heard of before either (not that I complain, I can’t stand too much heat either) …weather is totally fucked up… Heat in the UK ffs!!!
I’m in Greece btw.

I don’t think the summers have changed that fast, apparently it has been almost this hot about 20 years ago and last year wasn’t that hot anyway.
I know the climate is changing but year to year there are ups and downs.
Besides, last Xmas we had more snow than we’ve had for about 5-6 years.
man…bristish weather doesn’t exactly have a good record-_- it hardly snows down here in the south and it doesn’t really get all that hot…and we damn sinking down this end thanks to this weird ice cap sunddenly melting in scotland millions of years ago…oh, and by the time summers do change for the worse, humans probs seen that and make something to protect us…also hole in the ozone repairing back up and pollution is slowly…but is going down.
