After a long period of drought conditions, the extreme heatwave forecast over the period 17th - 19th July 2022, also generated a "Very Extreme" fire danger warning. Unfortunately, some very stupid 1di0ts took the opportunity for committing arson attacks - as well as a number of accidental grass fires occurring in the same period. The results were devastating to the affected areas - including the loss of several homes in a couple of places ! . . Not my Image ; fair use & public information

Recorded temperatures at 16:00 on Sunday, 17th July 2022. And it was markedly hotter for the following two / three days, enough for the MetOffice to issue a RED warning. . Not my Image ; fair use & public image

The second period of extreme heat in the summer of 2022 resulted in the UK's Met Office issuing warnings of extreme heat, including the first ever at the RED warning level. That is : TAKE ACTON - risk to life. Many places recorded vrey high temperatures, the hottest was on 19 July, when a temperature of 40.3 °C (104.5 °F) was recorded at Coningsby, Lincolnshire, the hottest temperature ever recorded in the United Kingdom's Met Office history. The hot and dry weather also saw increased incidents of so-called "wildfires" with significant levels of damage, sadly, some of these were actually deliberate arson.

Storm Eunice continued to develop, and by the evening of 17th February, the UK's Met Office had revised the severity of the warnings for Friday, 18th February 2022. This included a rare RED warning, initially for the north coasts of Cornwall, Devon and into the Bristol Channel, during the late morning on 18th February. . .
