The precipitation forecast for 10:00 and 12:00 never arrived. Apparently it *should* be raining (lightly) now. It is not #bristol #bs5 #UKWeather

"Now is not the time to nationalise our water industry or acknowledge that Climate Change is here and we have to deal with it" - Politicians

How serious is the drought that is currently being experienced across Britain (for the most part)?
well, here is a Met Office map that pretty graphically shows the problem.
If this is the future we will be needing to be thinking a lot more carefully about water management & (likely) nationalise the industry as the private utilities have demonstrated a lack of serious intent to actually manage the water courses, being only interested in *draining* the system of cash

Just as with COVID, hundreds of deaths, hundreds of grieving families, are barely a news story, not nearly as important as the Football or something...
#ClimateCrisis #Heatwave #UKWeather
Quoting
In just two months there were 2,700 excess deaths in England and Wales related to the heatwaves.
Each one leaves behind a grieving family.
Houses, workplaces, cities, the NHS, social care and more all need to be equipped to respond to longer, hotter summers.

Oh come ON, the weather, this is the UK. We're notorious for our shit summers.
And more to the point this is north west England. The entire British Empire only existed because the weather in Manchester was uniformly grey, wet, and miserable.
Sort yourself out and stop this nonsense!

Trying to stay motivated to work in the heat. It's as hot (maybe a tad hotter) in the office as outside (27C) so I'm sitting in the garden with the laptop. The breeze at least makes it tolerable.
Tue-Thu maybe not. I need to get work done now so I can lounge about as #heatwave peaks.

I regret to inform you that I have my legs out.

lots of media poms whinging about "blood rain", it's okay, Peter Gabriel has had your back for forty years, if only you'd listened. #UKWeather

I didn't realise how early it was light already until today, with how dull, overcast and wet it has been for weeks.
