About the only truly accurate bit in the article is this:-
Dry, but as today, not sunny everywhere.
El Nino doesn't necessarily mean a dry hot Summer, incidentally.
Also his obsession with other people's work habits.
Even more ridiculous. And the fact that he opens a thread and never returns.
Since we are discussing the express, I thought I would change your post
It doesn't, but I will mention the most noteworthy month of the year, meterologically, in addition to being the month she died.
August 1997 was the second hottest on record. There were 19 consecutive days with maxima over 27C in Eastern England, and the month was especially noted for some extraordinarily high overnight minima. As might be expected with such a hot and humid set up, there were a number of violent thunderstorms over various parts of the country.
It probably isn't strongly remembered because it wasn't brilliantly sunny in the classic hot month/Summer fashion, nor were there any exceptionally hot days. Nonetheless, that accolade of second hottest August on record, remains in place, probably gained as a result of many consecutive days of high day and night temperatures.
If we have another similar month at some point, with fortnightly bin collections, expect extreme problems with maggots breeding in bins, and a fly epidemic.
What did it do? Pi$$ down for 5 months.
I must be a bit slow today, while the page was opening I was planning a witty response ending with "quick call the Express". Silly me, of course it was an Express article.
Although I will say is the heatwave before or after the 100 days of snow we're still waiting for?
