Thanks for the mention, Andrew.

Whilst I’d generally say that the UK’s not good at any extreme of weather (we do grey well but struggle with too much heat/cold/wet/wind), I’d also agree that weather patterns have changed. Even since I started cycling a dozen or so years ago, it seems windier. But, as for the sustained heat that we are currently experiencing, I’m a little older than you and remember droughts in 1976/77. That not to say that they are typical though… but perhaps something we’ll see more often now…
