We are losing the forests. We are losing the glaciers. We are losing water. We are losing the coral reefs. We are losing wildlife. We are losing time.

33C now at Northolt, Farnborough and Fairford - but can you imagine 10C hotter, 43C, as that's how high it is at Luchapt between Poitiers and Limoges in western France! Could see 44C somewhere in Western France this afternoon, just not right.

Another day, another barrage of extreme heat records across Europe. Several French locations have hit at least 42°C (107.3°F), while 40–41°C readings were widespread. Numerous monthly and all-time records are falling across western and central Europe—not just isolated stations, but a broad swath of the continent. Wow!
