Just spent 6 days in The Hague and Amsterdam, was the most sublime string of weather they've had in ages - everyone out at the beach / canal / terraces enjoying it. Not one nutter said anything about climate change :) (although 1 in ~200 nutters were wearing a mask, lol). Great post!

You said 'terms of Olympic medals for super scorchio hot days reaching or exceeding a mean maximum of 30°C, then only one year may be awarded a medal and that is 1902' - don't you mean 1906?

Robin Monotti seems to have got sidetracked by one day in Sardinia rather than rigorous statistics.

Yes, all of the farmers have finally been able to make their hay!
