UK experiences 'weirdest' weather

http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-19995084


A dry spring gave way to wet conditions - a rapid transformation


The UK has experienced its "weirdest" weather on record in the past few months, scientists say.

The driest spring for over a century gave way to the wettest recorded April to June in a dramatic turnaround never documented before.

The scientists said there was no evidence that the weather changes were a result of Man-made climate change.

the last 20 years. My sister and brother in law were living there back in the late eighties/early nineties when the UK started having their version of a heatwave. A few straight days of temperature being in the eighties was causing people to pass out and be admitted to the hospital. Since then there have been several dramatic changes in their weather.

Anyone who doesn't believe we are experiencing dramatic global climate change is in serious denial.
