Brits Asking "Where Is Summer?"; Europe's Lowest Burn Acreage On Record; Tasmania's Second-Coldest Temperature Ever; + America's "Historic June Heatwave" Was a Lie

Since 1895, the average percentage of U.S. weather stations reaching 90F in June stands at 73.1%. In June 2024, only 66% of stations reached 90F.

Brits Asking "Where Is Summer?"

This summer, the UK has held anomalously cool, defying earlier Met Office forecasts for a record hot season.

June's average mean was 12.9C (55.2F), which is 0.4C below the long-term average, making for the coldest June in years. Snow fell on Scotland's peaks for eight consecutive days last month, a very rare occurrence.

Likewise in Ireland, a cold June was endured: an average of 13.18C meant for 0.51C below the norm.

BBC Scotland forecaster Calum MacColl blames the unusual chill on natural causes (naturally). "The jet stream was in a west to north-westerly orientation across the North Atlantic," he explains, "resulting in Scotland often being on the cold side of the jet [which funneled polar maritime air into the nation]."

Contrary to official "record hot" forecasts, a cool June is now spilling into July where it continues to impact livestock and agriculture, with farmers reportedly struggling with the unseasonably low temperatures.

The cold is expected to persist for the foreseeable, and all, with 'blues' set to dominate through the first half of July—at least.

Europe's Lowest Burn Acreage On Record

Recent data reveals that Europe is experiencing its lowest burn acreage on record in 2024, a fact completely ignored by an agenda-driving media.

The below chart from the Global Wildfire Information System visualizes this inconvenience:

The chart shows cumulative burned areas in Europe from January 1 to June 30, 2024, compared to the average and min-max range of the previous decade. The green line representing 2024 shows significantly lower burned areas, the lowest on record.
