Ireland, and eventually Scotland, are waiting for the remains of hurricane Ophelia to strike later today. These hurricanes never reach the British Isles, as the NE Atlantic is normally too cold to sustain them. This is the first.
The temperature in the UK is expected to reach 24°C today, when the average for this time of the year is nearer 12°C. Global warming is certainly fact. How big an effect mankind is having on it, I am not qualified to say.
