Looking at the latest FAX issues for T+108 and T+132 DT 00Z 22/7/06 with the
564DAM thickness so far north one has to say that there is a chance of 20%
somewhere *if* we get enough sunshine on dry ground. So obviously very unlikely,
but one has to say that there is a chance. I guess as the years roll by and our
summers continue this continental trend with a benign Atlantic then 40C in the
UK becomes ever more likely. Just a thought, temperatures in my issued forecast
are the preferred ones still, but perhaps with the odd 36-37 deg C given enough
sunshine.

Global Warming?

Article in the paper today, about August 1911
100 degrees reached
It wasn't a short lived heatwave either.
The heat built on May 1st.
No cool down until September

Think how much they suffered back then

No A/C in any buildings
Strict dress requirements for both men & women
(none of this walking around with virtually nothing on, that we see
these days)
Lots of people crammed into small one room houses
Children attending very strict schools with no A/C

Only the rich, to escape out into the country to try to stay cool by
the rivers & streams

Many people died from eating food and drinking milk that had gone off

That got me thinking a bit

Good points.

The "red" line (564) may well be pretty far north but the
highest thickness over SE England according to the latest GFS is 569
dam Quite high enough but it would only give you 34°C or so, even
with prolonged sunshine. Successive GFS runs seem to be giving
slightly lower maximum thickness values for SE England.

I seriously doubt that heatwave conditions persisted for four months solid.
It sounds like it was a 1959 style summer with maybe one or two periods
where it peaked at 100 degrees (I would like to know if that was an official
and not a disputed measurement).

There is nothing about global warming that states that hot summers cannot
happen in cooler climate periods. It is merely the frequency of heatwaves
that would be expected to increase in a warming climate.

A/C in schools!! How the other half live.

I think you will find that quite a few people actually lived in the
country.

A large number also lived by the sea, including my gran. I didn't
realise she was rich, must find out what happened to the money.

I hope it doesn't make 40C but if it does I am only a few miles from the
current record and the ground here is completely dry so I suppose it's
possible.
