The mean for July finished 22.1Ā°C, 3.6Ā°C above average. A new record. Rainfall was 0.15mm, the driest in the series to 1797. Another new record. Sunshine at Heathrow was 325.4hrs, second only to the 1911 record. Though that sun figure could be higher? @RoostWeather @SnowbieWx

Our media are fossil fuel sock puppets in the same way as many of our politicians. Normalise the fires, focus on the NESO witch-hunt designed to stop Renewables.
