Oh Tony. Your timing couldn’t have been worse, could it? #Blair #frogsinboilingwater

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.
Spaghetti chart showing Oxford Radcliffe Observatory daily maximum temperatures for every day of the year from 1815 to 2026. 211 years of historical data are shown as very faint grey lines tracing a seasonal cycle from around 5°C in winter to a summer peak of roughly 25–30°C in July and August. A blue smoothed 30-day mean line highlights the average annual temperature cycle. The 2026 line is shown in bold red, running from January through to late May before spiking sharply upward to reach 33.7°C on 26 May, well above the entire historical grey envelope for that time of year. A single dashed red reference line marks the previous May record of 30.6°C set on 29 May 1944. The 2026 reading exceeds this by 3.1°C and, in statistical terms, is the 6th most anomalous maximum temperature in Oxford's 211-year record, ranking as the most anomalous May maximum ever observed and coming within 0.6°C of the all-time June record of 34.3°C set in 1976.

Why frogs? Frogs put in boiling water will jump out. Frogs put in a pot with room temperature water won't notice being simmered and cooked slowly.

Frogs get out of the pot!!

An astounding, can't-wrap-your-mind-around, must read, from one of our best political commentators. substack.com/@jojofromjerz #frogsinboilingwater
Be Best. Be Quiet. Or Be Bankrupted.
Melania Trump is selling a story about lifting women up. I’m the mother of two she tried to frighten into submission.

The Dumbest Coup in History Is Still a Coup
Even dumb fascists can destroy a country. The Trump regime isn't subtle or smart, but it's dismantling democracy in plain sight. Time to fight back.

Dear Mr Burnham… #climate #heatwave #frogsinboilingwater

Gave an interview to @news.sky.com earlier this evening about heatwaves. I said I gave a very similar interview 10 years ago (that time to BBC) about heatwaves. Politicians have failed to act. Societies have failed to adapt. And here we are. We are in dangerous climate change.

When reality surpasses fiction!

Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming.

Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.
