Altro...Well, the results from the 'weather jury' are in and no surprise to learn that Summer 2026 was the UK's hottest on record (according to provisional data from the Met Office).
2026 is definitely going to become the new most memorable summer, replacing the record-breaking summer of 1976 as the go-to reference.
The UK has 'enjoyed' a spring and summer of persistent heat with five widespread heatwaves and 40 days of temperatures above 30C° (86F°), smashing the previous record of 34 days.
I was looking for a photograph I have taken locally this summer that goes some way to illustrate what we have just experienced and I thought this image, taken on 12 July down on Seaburn's promenade in Sunderland, NE England, just about sums the season up.
Four people chilling out on a bench, soaking up the sunshine and warmth under cloudless blue skies – what a summer it has proved to be!
