    Meanwhile it’s summer in the UK and we’re off to a water park today and we’re taking full wetsuits because it’s so cold. July has been awful in the UK with so much rain.

      13°C in Berlin right now, tops out at 20°C today, and it’s near August. I mean, I’ll take that any day over the scorching earth that other countries have, but it is weird.

      • that is just relatively normal? It only feels weird now, after the last 5 years being exceptionally scorching.

        Usually there is a colder week or two in july followed by another heatwave in august. Last year that august wave brought 37°C and just twobweeks ago we were at 35°C.

        Take the relief while you can.

        What’s the weather been like throughout July? We had a plesent June but July has been the worst.

        It’s 13°C here too right now topping out at 18°C today.

        We were spoilt last year, the weather was very warm and space photos had the UK looking very brown for a change.

      That’s the difference between weather (what you’re experiencing in a localized environment) and climate (what the wild world is experiencing).

      Water in the UK has never been warm though. We might have hit 40C for a day last year, but it takes a long time to get water to that temp.
