‘Extreme’ heat and rainfall is becoming the new normal in the UK, says Met Office
The Met Office has warned that extremes of heat and rainfall are becoming the normal as the climate continues to warm in the UK.
The latest state of the UK climate report, published in the Royal Meteorological Society’s International Journal of Climatology, shows the impact of human-caused global warming on the UK’s weather, seas, people and wildlife...
The Energy Secretary called the findings “a stark warning” to take action on climate and nature.
“Our British way of life is under threat,” Mr Miliband told the PA news agency.
No it's not a stark warning, nobody thinks it is a stark warning, or even a warning. Only a few loons believe that.
As for "the new normal", it seems to be a constant stream of low grade official propaganda, but this particular blob of drivel comes across to this observer as transparent distraction politics.
“Our British way of life,” began fading away some time ago under the influence of a range of pressures, including persistent government incompetence, overspending, mendacity, fashionable ideology, ignorance and neglect. One of those pressures on “our British way of life” comes in the shape of Edward Samuel Miliband, but there are many others.
It's desperate stuff though, trying to distract voters from the unlovely mess by pointing a flaky finger at what on the whole is better weather plus a few extremes we've always had to deal with, even if dealing with them via arm-waving has become the new normal.

This explains it rather well https://cliscep.com/2025/07/14/more-gaslighting-from-the-psychologists/
Cheers Yet Another Chris
You’ve inspired me to run a song on the weather, AKH.
“January’s ice and snow
Make your feet and fingers glow…” etc
That one, James?
Chris - thanks for the link, yes it does explain it well. Behaviour is the guide in a number of ways, especially when behaviour doesn't match language and bias becomes visible, often blatant bias.
The climate faithful use approved language, but practical measures adopted at a personal level are little more than fashionable virtue-signalling. Subsidised virtue-signalling too, if significant spending is involved.
James - good, lots to choose from I imagine.
Peter - "Make your feet and fingers glow" sounds like an ad for a Halloween makeover.
I wonder if I will live long enough for the Government to turn itself inside out trying to explain how the Hot Climate Crisis has become the new Cold Climate Crisis - no doubt due to the 'uncertainties' of interglacial weather?
DJ - a cooling trend would still be our fault. The scam seems set to continue unless genuine problems eventually overwhelm it, which doesn't seem unlikely.
