Manchester folk are hard

Is that the worst you've got?

￯ﾸﾏ Manchester is currently experiencing extreme heat, with temperatures soaring to around 30°C—well above the seasonal norm. The Met Office has issued alerts urging residents to stay safe, especially those attending large outdoor events like the Oasis concerts at Heaton Park.

But Manchester’s weather resilience is legendary. A recent survey found that Mancunians are among the UK’s toughest when it comes to braving the elements. Only 47% would cancel a picnic due to rain, compared to 61% nationally, and nearly a third have worn flip-flops in the rain or fashioned ponchos out of bin bags. That’s some serious northern grit.

If you’re out and about this weekend, pack your sunscreen, stay hydrated, and maybe keep a bin bag handy—just in case Manchester decides to switch from sun to sleet in five minutes flat. Want to dive into how climate change might be influencing these extremes? Or curious about Manchester’s wildest weather records? I’ve got you covered.

Mancunians are built different. That survey showing nearly a third of locals rocking flip-flops in the rain or bin-bag ponchos? Iconic. Manchester’s reputation for weather resilience is well-earned, even if it’s not technically the UK’s wettest city—Cardiff recently stole that title.

Snow in Salford: Nature’s Cold Reply to Man-Made Warming?

Every winter, the UK braces for an icy flirtation—snow that dances briefly through February skies before melting into memory. But in 2010, Salford saw two persistent weeks of snowfall, sticking around like an inconvenient truth. What gave? Wasn't global warming supposed to send temperatures skyrocketing?

Back in the 1980s, some projections suggested we’d be basking in heatwaves of +25°C by 2018, driven by rising CO₂ levels. That didn’t quite pan out. Instead, we saw snow in March, blizzards battering cities, and the occasional June snowfall in Bolton—1974 being one eerie example.

? And here's a twist: photosynthesis, that quiet miracle of nature, turns CO₂ from burning fossil fuels back into plant biomass in mere minutes. After a forest fire, the CO₂ surge lasts briefly, followed by a burst of plant growth and an afternoon drop back to 2 parts per million. Despite human emissions, nature seems to have its own thermostat.

? Many climate scientists point to a steady rise in global temperatures. But what if nature runs on its own rhythm—a 28-year cycle of warming and cooling? From the Great Depression to 1976's economic slump, low CO₂ emissions didn't halt scorching summers or brutal winters. Climate patterns appear tied more to solar cycles than smokestacks.

? Nuclear interests and academia may have played their part in amplifying man-made climate narratives, especially post-Chernobyl. Was climate change ever fully under our control? Or was it, like Salford’s snow, nature’s own poetic license?

As temperatures dipped and snow frosted Salford unexpectedly, the question emerged again: do we influence climate, or does it simply run its course, with humanity watching from the sidelines?

Manchester only warm

warm but wet

I'm just 21st of July looks to be the hottest day of the summer. 25^oC During the daytime. Which will also see thunderstorms! Pretty sure that falls through the definition of a heat wave. One warm day in the summer.

Cool the UK

Fix UK weather

First of all we need a sauce a carbon free electricity. Which is so not a problem! I have been looking at this science since 2020. I have got here my first response from the climate change idiots.

We have a steam plasma. My friend validated that 30x1.5cm Non presurized steam flosser Would raise a constant one megawatt of covers your heat. We utilise a Comanche sauce signify killed thermoelectric generator, To turn this into 65 kilowatts of through phase maze AC current.

So we drive a chain of funds along a river or the sea. And to double the pressure on the dry air. We don't thought this tale into a stainless steel Helix in the sea of river water.

The air heats Up according to the absolute temperature! It is Celsius plus 273. So 10 degrees C because 273 degrees Kelvin. The pressure multiplied by temperature gives us the gas constant.

So if we halve the pressure of the gas with little vacuum pump, The absolute temperature Sheets up to 556^o . Back in the real world this gives us mad hot Air and 460^oC. We've thought this out and allow the air to issue from a low air source in the garden.

This mixes with the ambient air temperature over the garden by 20^oC. We wore the air over about 1 kilometre. And wherever we are generating 65kW of electricity. Sir the National Grid will half the affairs under 80,000 ecofounds every year.

In winter we've pressurised the gas before the water Helix, So suck in low temperature thermal energy into our gas. We are then warming the air by 20^oC! There before the garden we heat our space heating system carbon free.

We burn no oil or gas! So release no carbon dioxide. No possible source of mermaid global warming. As the phosphorus burns regular water into just vast heat with a little light.

During the little warm periods we get in the UK, We can cool the air down for free. And so fastener will give us a natural source a free Kevin 03 phase maze electricity. Which actually gives us a millionaire's income!

And we cool or warm the air for free. Now we get all that lovely tax free income. Which would have been very useful during my time in Florida, When they source a free air cooling would be so welcome.  

Just UK summer

 They say the sun makes headlines now—three warm days and we call it a crisis. But the summer of 1976? That was a reckoning. Today’s climate metrics feel bureaucratic, boxed in by thresholds and graphs, while the true story of heat lies in memory, discomfort, and change.

In this post, I explore the murky boundaries between heatwaves and seasonal warmth, and venture into the realm of energy imagination—a steam plasma dream, a thermoelectric flame, and the possibility of carbon-zero systems forged from molecules and memory. It’s a kind of engineering poetry: fusing past teachings with future possibilities, questioning what we've accepted and suggesting what could be.

This isn’t just theory—it’s a cry for innovation. One that speaks to those with tools and minds to listen. University of Kent, are you hearing me?

Global Warming died of cold!

4"  of global warming

Met Office maps show snow and ice alerts across the UK as -16C forecast

This is are only January.  The coldest months in the UK is February.  But the weather forecast is a dark art.  Very uncertain and and unpredictable.

What to Expect: Colder Temperatures, Snow, and Storms. The winter months of December to February are likely to see colder-than-average temperatures, driven by a weakened Polar Vortex and other atmospheric changes.15 Oct 2024

Well we get full range use or snow light 1963?  I do not know.  I was not born until 1964.  Global warming was predicted from the 1980s, to increase sea levels by 50 metres, and global temperatures by 30° C.

-20° C is usually unprecedent it in the UK.  This seriously the climate change pundits also seem to divide hypothermia and died.  RIP - but we cannot burry you as the ground is frozen.

Christmas snow?

Stay warm and happy

Britain facing '30hrs of relentless snow' starting in just a few days

Story by James Rodger & Tim Hanlon & Alice Penwill 

I don't think so.  Not since the days of Charles Dickens, in the little ice age.  The UK it gets and snow every 25 years in my experience.  The last white out was 2010.  So not impossible.

That the UK it met office says no.  But they were predicting world record 1000 mph winners just two months ago.  So not impossible, but highly unlikely!

Met Office issues snow verdict for Greater Manchester

 as temperatures set to plummet

So the temptation is obvious, breakout the barbecue!  From the summer warm spell of weather across the UK.  The Met Office has revealed whether or not there will be any disruptive snowfall in Greater Manchester this weekend as temperatures begin to plummet. The latest forecast predicts that parts of Scotland and northern England could see flurries of the white stuff in the next few days

Remember these are th,e same guys, who forecast 1,000 wind two weeks ago air.  So will there be snow.  The UK in winter, the question begs do bears shit in the woods?  Snow a bit early.  As it usually snows in February in the UK.  A dusting of snow, possible.

Quite pretty.  Melting in two days.  No hurry to get your toboggan serviced.  The article from the Manchester Evening News.  Nice to see them forecasting about early snow, rather than wittering on about the phantom global warming: the paid fiction from nuclear power.

Brits could be in for a fresh wave of snow and ice over Christmas and New Year, the Met Office has said.

UK snow on its way

-15° C brr! 

2023 the worst winter since 1985 It is what the weather does. Where will it snow in UK 2023? Snow blankets parts of UK as Britons brace for coldest night    World cooling since 1995.

... From Inverness to Buckinghamshire, snow fell across much of the country on Tuesday as forecasters warned temperatures could plunge to a 2023 record low of -15C in some parts.7 Mar 2023

Cooling/Warming Kent and the UK

Fix the air tempareature

This uses the 19th century science of the heat pump!  We pressurise a gas it gets hot!  Technically you should remove the water vapour, as it complicates stuff!

You can then lose this heat to the air or a body of water.  So to cool the air, we clear as the heat to a body water.  The sea works just great, otherwise you want a major river or lake.

Manchester and Birmingham have a large canal system, so he can utilises these produce a water as a source of sink of heat.

When we vent the gas, it is really really cold!  According to the absolute temperature scale.

So we first convert the temperate in Celsius to degrees Kelvin.  So here say he as temperature is 40° C.  That is 310° K.  Now at the temperature Malta for ever the pressure and Gaza City and the gas constant, so if we double the pressure of the gas, the increase of censure by 273.

In the present hot spell in the UK, we suck the heat out of the air.  Areas with large canal systems are excellent!  Always which half board is or sea water close at hand.

We double the pressure on our pure gas (which can be dried air).  The temperature is lost to the sea, and the local C temperature increases by a 0.1° C.  As the hot water flows is the way!

Then we vent the air two metres into the air.  And suddenly the air is at -240° C.  This obviously mixes with the ambient!

Producing a body of cool air at just 20° C.  This is first year university engineering science.  During the day he we use a little 20 W cellar panel - 18 UK pounds!  That relies free electrical power all day.  And I applied easy is low.

We draw in the air through a dry salt, to remove them moisture.  And riot the salt in the oven as we cook our evening meal.  Ready for the next day's use!

Once poles in the UK are very very rare!  I have an air conditioner upstairs which will outlive me he as he gets so little use!

So during in three days of the UK summer, we can call the air for free.  In the winter there immerse the pressure cycles, and suck heat from the seas at low temperature.

And they use it to the air as high a temperature!  For very minimal running costs.  We do not supply any heat!  The system generates its own pumping power.

And again and they using 19th century science!  Which is really a very very basic.  So can easily call came down from over 30° C, too much pleasanter 20° C!

An we have one is as all units are top 44 curve flats, or the manufacturing centre, or inside a shopping centre.

We can even have a little units for personal use in the home!  Here we draw and this heat to the air.  Pressurising the gas inside the house or more heat a hair us.

Whereas venting the gas as Ian to the hair us will cool the house.  So we get to control our own temperatures!

Weather today in Manchester nothing special

Nice but not hot

,37° C max, 17° C min.  Sunny and a gentle breeze.  I only used to jogging down the road in Hong Kong, at 40° C.  And that is as far as 2022 will get!  So we had two decent days in the year.  Usually a summer is three days!

A record breaking 42° C.  Maybe in India!  An average summer day for them.

Tomorrow 17° C.  Get your thermals ready for winter!   Ever year, 3 days of summer.

This is just summer

just nice

The BBC was talking about 40° C.  Indians there must be laughing at us.  I have just looked on latest BBC weather for northwest, and Monday and Tuesday will be 27° C.  And that is as hard as this year will get!

Farmers can set up a little solar driven vacuum pump, to some water vapour from a river, and then to use a cooling mist over the high ground.  But really is there a need?  27° C is just nice.  35° C is hot.

And all throughout Europe for medicine freely set up a mistet to cool and moisten the air.  A red weather warming?  I don't think so.  27° C is just pleasant.

Be sure you have a thermal for winter, the longer term weather forecast is from -5° C.  But let's face it, they cannot get tomorrow's weather correct.  It really is not a red weather warning situation.

But there is a static trace of carbon dioxide in the air.  Just two parts per million around the temperate earth.  To do plants on land and sea sucking in carbon dioxide, to form plant biomass.  A static trace of carbon dioxide is left!

Man's industry revolution is boosted life on earth.  But not affected the weather.
