The south of England basking in the southerly wind flow remained surprisingly warm with London at 26 centigrade. On the other hand northern areas could barely reach 15 centigrade - a significant difference, and on this occasion barely two hundred miles was enough to separate summer climes from a decidedly wintry outlook - proving in a way that the weather we receive is almost entirely dependent on the wind directions and not so called atmosphere warming clouds of carbon dioxide.
Further south meanwhile winds came streaming across the Atlantic from the American continent bringing heavy rains to the North of Spain. Such downpours at this time of the year may be considered ununusual, but as the picture below illustrates this has nothing to do with carbon dioxide levels, and everything to do with the winds racing across the Atlantic. So not much of a mystery after all !!

Further afield, but not covered by these maps, the Russian capital Moscow sweltered in temperatures of over 35 centrigrade. Global Warming? No! Simply a long stream of wind that stretched southwards right on down to the Sahara Desert. Once again an easy explanation for anyone who really bothers to find the answers.
