    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.

      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.

      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.

        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 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.
