Greenhulk50 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 The media are going overboard over the UK Heatwave, my God it's called summer but the it's the usual bollocks blaming climate change, they have issued an amber warning and they're talking about a red warning coming in the next few days, it reminds me of what they did with the threat of a terror attack, except it's not Isis it's the Sun , more fear tactics and Problem Reaction Solution. We all know where this is going, Carbon tax, Carbon footprint tracker like what was discussed at Davos this year . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itsjaybigjay Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Been glorious last few days in Manchester, been getting all my outdoor jobs done while its nice. my only worry is if it continues, the inevitable hosepipe ban and water rationing which the media will lap up and spew out with the usual gusto. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluke Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I have been keeping out of it. Might even buy myself an umbrella to keep sun off me to be honest when i venture out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My outdoor jobs ain't getting done due to me being indoors. Too hot mate. I went to Tesco and I thought I was going to faint....had to stay around the meat section to cool myself for awhile and I am on vegetarian diet currently. Irony I know.

Anti Facts Sir Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I mean it's Summer FFS, innit. Yet the non-stop fear mongering BS on the Nooz today did its job on my poor Mum. Now she's too scared to go out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinfoil Hat Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I agree, they won't stop parping on about a few days of sunshine in July. I got texted an amber warning for Lancashire just now, and it's overcast and spitting here. It's just more ridiculousness in a world that's gone stark raving bonkers. I'm also not a sun lover, but I definitely distrust sun creams and prefer instead to sit under shade when working outside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Heat wave my arse. Maybe down south, but certainly not up north. It's been a whitewash every day. Any clear are singular and not concurrent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masonfreeparty2 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) normal summer weather albeit more dry than usual..the clue will be how fast we progress into winter,its been pretty brutal in parts of south america and new zealand,the 4 big gas giants jupiter,uranus,neptune and saturn are beginning to line up on one side of the sun so Earth's eliptical orbit shall be of interest as we head towards 2024 and further into the grand solar minimum.Some are saying this next grand solar minimum is taking its time to kick in but heat from the oceans takes time to dissipate but once it has then real winters like '47 and '63 will be very frequent and worse..it will be very interesting to see how 7.8 billion people cope..

Martin1234 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 We all know they control the clouds and can make it rain of needed. We know they don't want us to fly or even travel anywhere, then all of a sudden there is a 'heat wave'. Seems a bit odd to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Birmingham, it was originally forecast to be 'mostly sunny' with a high of 28C. Been cloudy most of the day, but I did notice some 'unusual' cloud patterns earlier this afternoon. While it was still warm, it was definitely cooler than it was yesterday. We did actually get a little bit of rain today, though there hasn't been any forecast for this week at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k_j_evans Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Well, we had one hot day on Monday, perhaps 26 degrees. Light rain Tuesday am and about 21 and cloudy for the rest of the day. Yawn. Summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get a chance to take any photos as I was busy at work, but yesterday morning when it was more overcast, the clouds had a 'ripple' effect in them, like waves on water. Also, there was a striking formation that looked like veins on a leaf. I think it was on Monday, when it went 'hazy' for a while, and I saw a rainbow 'halo' around the sun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
