Voor velen wellicht een interessant rapport. In het verslag wordt o.a. uitgelicht hoe extreem de omvang van de anomalie was in temperatuur op het eiland.

Voor wie geen tijd/zin heeft om het hele verslag door te lezen, heb ik hier een stukje uit het rapport:

The map below shows the 46 stations across the UK on 19 July 2022 which exceeded the previous UK record of 38.7°C. Normally records tend to be broken by narrow margins; on this date the record was broken not only by a wide margin (1.6°C) but across an extensive area extending from Kent to North Yorkshire and from Suffolk to Warwickshire.

The map below shows daily maximum temperature anomalies on 19 July 2022 against the 1991-2020 July long-term average. For comparison, 25 July 2019 is also shown. On 19 July, temperature anomalies exceeded 14°C extensively across England and parts of north Wales and southern Scotland, with anomalies of 16°C widely across central and northern England and in some locations 18°C. These represent temperatures of around 39 to 40°C compared to a July 1991-2020 average maximum temperature of around 21 to 22°C that might typically be expected in these areas at this time of year.
