Description
The UK’s hottest summer. The records that kept breaking.
In this episode of For the Love of Weather, meteorologists Gemma and Aisling reflect on an extraordinary summer of record-breaking heat, heatwaves, drought and wildfires.
From dry and hot with 35°C in May, to temperatures reaching 38°C with intense humidity, we explore how climate change is shaping our weather, affecting our health and everyday lives, and putting pressure on nature and our oceans.
🌍 In this episode, we discuss:
* How climate change is intensifying heatwaves.
* What the summer of 1976 tells us about future UK summers.
* The impacts of extreme heat on people, wildlife and the environment.
* How we can adapt to hotter summers and protect nature.
* Finding hope through climate action and communication.
It was a summer that felt relentless, raising difficult questions about our future and one that felt very emotional. But there are things we can do and conversations we need to keep having because we can all do something to help.
