OK, who built all the planned turbines in one weekend? Where are they?

It can't possibly be natural can it.

Inaccurate title - the nineties has the most state records for 24hr rainfall highs (but naturally they're focussed on temps in the states while we're watching the rain gauges!):

2000s - IIII
1990s - IIIIIIIIII
1980s - IIIIIII
1970s - IIIIIII
1960s - IIIIIII
1950s - IIIII
1940s - III
1930s - II
1920s - I
1910s - II
1900s - III
1890s - I

So is the new mantra that Heatwavees are no longer "Extreme" weather events? only winds <sorry better leave those out eh> or preciptation are?

All I can tell you is this. It hasn't rained at my house since May, we have broken temp records seemingly every day this summer and we are now in a state of emergency along with 25 other states. It's hot and dry and we have a total ban on using water for lawns, car washing, drive washing etc.. My lawn is dark brown and so is everyone else's. This is not "normal".

It's normal variation rather than normal conditions.

Its interesting how someones choice of words infers something in these circumstances
Normal/Abnormal = something sinister at work, Typical/Untypical = variation in a norm

Emotion in matters such as these is never helpful imho

Detailed weather records and human lifespans each totalling a few tens of thousands of years would help. Any ideas?!

Extremes of normality are normal though. It hasn't stopped raining since May here and I've got the heating on in July! We had it like you in 1976 though, I remember walking round the local golf course as a lad, and all the grass was scorched dark brown.

Stupidly, on the strength of today I have decided to save some dosh and the nightmare of taking the kids abroad and have booked a boat on the Norfolk Broads for 10 days time.
