Today is a historic day for London and Britain as the highest ever temperatures were recorded and the British capital, London, was today hotter than the Bahamas and Jamaica in the Caribbean, Malaga, Athens and Dhaka in the Western Sahara. This heat wave has caused the British authorities to announce the closure of one of London’s airports, Luton, where there are several trips every day to Tirana and Pristina until the late hours of the evening. The reason is defects on the runway caused by the extreme heat, and work is being done to repair them as soon as possible, the airport authorities announce. Meanwhile, the runway has melted at one of the military airports near London.
The temperature record in England is 38.7 degrees Celsius, recorded in Cambridge in 2019, meanwhile there are no reports of breaking it, so in my car, a few hours ago the temperature was 38.5 degrees.
In conditions where Britain today has been hotter than the Western Sahara, transport lines in the capital have been largely disrupted due to cancellations, while many employees have been forced to work from home and traffic on the motorways has been significantly heavier. little.
Forecasters have warned that temperatures could reach 43 degrees on Tuesday. Britain is obviously not prepared for the temperatures and air conditioning is not widespread. This wave proved irrefutably that climate change has left its fingerprints and global warming is sitting cross-legged on the island.
