Beating a 300-year old record by 2°C.
That’s bonkers (i.e., statistically near impossible if not for climate change).
Strap in…
The 2026 Social Psychology Section Annual Conference will take place from 08 - 09 September 2026 at the BPS London Offices.
Today has been the hottest day in May on record with Kew Gardens provisionally reaching 34.8°C - exceeding the previous highest May temperature in the UK by a full 2 degrees Celsius🌡️
This heat would be exceptional in the UK even in mid summer, let alone in May📈
