Stagnant air makes it a July to remember

It's as I predicted.  Without strong tropical plumes moderating the temperature, we are at the mercy of stagnant air, and the solar flux.

Throw in a little bit of El Nino and we have something.  Note all the air is just swirling around.  This gives the warmies a happy time.

The UK isn't that hot.  The tabloids keep predicting a 3 month heat wave and it never happens.  Can't wait to see what happens in Aug-Sept.  They are getting cold.

Such fun.

**for another year or two the cold will be blamed on a 'wandering jet stream'.  Ha.

ps. just went blueberry picking at the cottage with 100% humidity and not a speck of breeze.  Biting flies everywhere, the dogs were huffing like steam engines.  Never again.
