Settled #weather is caused by the presence of a #HighPressure region of #air which often stays for days at a time (depending on where you live). This means that the air is quite still and so atmospheric #dust and #pollution from cities stagnates and gets pushed down into low-level layers of the #atmosphere. It causes #haze but also deeper #red #sunsets.

The irony of people flying to Europe into almost unliveable heat for summer holidays on planes that are causing the unliveable heat. Isn’t it odd no one is talking about this?

The Wye & Usk Foundation (WUF) persuaded Welsh Water and NRW to release water from the Elan Valley reservoirs to boost the Wye’s flow and flush out warmer water https://nation.cymru/news/conservation-group-helps-save-wye-salmon-from-heat-death/
@anniemo71 "In the UK and other places, tests are no longer free"
Not true. They are free in Cymru (and I believe Scotland) to anyone with Symptoms.
It's another case of "for UK, read England" I'm afraid.
Today the maximum temperature here is about 30°C but is likely to breach 40°. It’s particularly worrying as the last record was only set three years ago. I decided to do my #cycling in the morning to avoid the peak. It was a route along the side of the #ExeEstuary and so outwards, there was a fairly strong #headwind from the #OnshoreBreeze but as soon I got to the turning point it became pretty easy.

We have not seen anything like it. We can't compare this looming heat emergency to summer 1976.
A warmer world, thanks to human induced climate change, makes it almost effortless to break extreme heat thresholds. We continue to see this across the planet - not just in Europe.
When does everyone rise up and say: Okay, the scientists warned us, and they were absolutely right, and the politicians who denied reality and let it happen must be removed from office to live out the remainder of their lives in disgrace.
This needs a lot of hashtags.

History in the making. 26 all-time records smashed today in the UK and France. It will be hotter tomorrow for many. So far 107F+ in France and 98F+ in UK. Wales hits its highest temperature ever. More to come tomorrow! http://coolwx.com/record/ @WFLA
