Listening to the radio just now (Radio Scotland) I heard that the temperature today at 12C was just 0.1C away from an all time July record for the coldest day. This follows on from June which the Glasgow Herald proclaimed in an article headlined: “June on track to be coldest summer for 40 years“:
JUNE is on track to be the coldest summer month for more than 40 years as the persistent rainfall and low temperatures blight hopes of a turn to warmer weather.
Scotland’s average temperature up until June 15 was 9.3C, two degrees below normal and the coldest June, July or August since June 1972, Met Office records show.
(Note how despite the clearly abnormally cold weather there is not a hint of explanation, nor demand for an explanation nor any type of alarm in our country with massive fuel poverty. And that is because Scotland’s media and politicians are still obsessed with global warming. But to be honest, I’d rather have impotent politicians raving about warming than this cold summer!)
Don’t worry.
A little Mannipulation of the data will ensure that it is really the hottest day in Glasgow since records began.
