9th July - Today's News: First Heatwave Alert of Year Issued in England.
For the first time in Britain this summer, heatwave alert issued as sweltering weather sparks health warnings. Fortunately Evesham will be missing the worst of the weather and should only see temps in the high 20s. Humid weekend coming up though. But it's all change next week .... Rain already affecting the NW over the weekend will finally start to hit other parts of Britain and it should cool down too. Good news as they issue a water supplies warning to 50,000 Welsh homes. And in Scotland it should mean an end to fire fears fuelled by the recent drought.
Meanwhile in Germany the sultry weather to keep everyone sweating through the weekend. And as the heatwave continues across much of Europe the French report that there's no repeat of 2003 heatwave - yet.
There's no change in the weather at the BBC as Met office retains contract - which we always thought would be the case.
Drought continues to worsen in Hawaii - by contrast, heavy rain brought by Hurricane Alex means in Texas, Rio Grande communities brace for floodwaters. Also in the wake of Alex, Mexico town evacuated as dam threatens to overflow.
In the UAE, duststorm, rain and lightning hit El Ain, but of more note, near the Saudi border a temperature of 55.2c was reported. This obviously needs verification but if correct it is easily a record for the region.
Wild weather lashes Perth, WA
Heatwaves could be commonplace in the US by 2039, but for now, temperatures ease in East, but misery persists.
Delhi recovers after Wednesday's monsoon fury
North Pacific: global back-up generator for past climate change - what this study seems to suggest is that if the NAD is shut down by an influx of cold water from glacial melt (as some predict may happen in the near future) then the currents in the Pacific change so that, whilst the North Atlantic region cools, the rest of the world is largely unaffected.
