The Hottest Day Ever and London's Burning ... Literally

originally posted by: beyondknowledge
Does the heat have anything to do with the fires other than helping to make the plants more flammable?

I mean, did the heat start any of the fires? Did it make the houses explode which has been mentioned as a prediction on other threads? It has been discussed that most homes and businesses don't have air-conditioners there so overloaded power systems would not be a problem.

Did people just do stupid things that caused the fires like people do sometimes?

Vehicles and farm equipment are a common cause of grass and brush fires in dry areas.

I am are aware of this hazard due to living in a dry area and efforts are made not to idle equipment in dry vegetation and to avoid entirely if possible. Exhausts get very hot.

The folks who live on a normally boggy soggy island won’t be as familiar with this hazard.

I'm next to Salisbury Plain where there has been a huge wildfire.

Caused by Army live firing exercise.

What could possibly have gone wrong?

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

LOL now isn’t the time for “firing” anything.

Hopefully a lesson learned!

I was born in Yorkshire and still have close connections there. I hope you all weather this heat as best you can. I suppose the older stone homes offer some cool as long as this doesn’t go on too long.

Runways are made from asphalt and concrete, they don’t melt at 39 °C. Concrete melts at 1527 °C.
Asphalt melts at 167 °C.
You have to be inept to believe that runways melt at 39 °C.

No. Not mentally inept. It happens. If it softens and when lots of tons of airplanes land on it with weight concentrated on wheels damage occurs:

It starts getting soft at 50c.

Last summer when we were in the high 30s I shot our roads and parking lots with an infra red thermometer.

77c asphalt is a dark colour and retains heat.

The runways could very well be soft.

The Gritting lorries were out on the roads here spreading sand on the roads to try and prevent damage from HGVs to our roads in the heatwave.

Aren't the Ukrainians not being trained there?

Oh yes. It's all their fault.

Way to blame


British Army run the Plain though.

Nice try.

Here is a picture book example of what is happening in the MSM and how we are fooled. Just one picture to say it all. I am sorry but ATS is so buggy for me since nearly one or two years so i can´t upload that picture (would cost me too much time and nerves) and have to leave this link here.

Are all three images from the same source?
Are they confirmed as real? The last one appears too hard to read to be real, although I know there are idiots in all kinds of job.

They are real screenshots of the weather forecast from the public broadcaster ARD. Meanwhile these channels are the worst propaganda sh!tholes only framing and lying and using tactics like that sh!t with the weather map. In 2009, when the temperatures were higher, no Green New Deal was established and the map is shown in normal colors. A decade further in time, slightly less high temperatures make the map look like limbo in 2019, when there was the Green New deal established. And again three years firther in time, after all that corona BS propaganda and 80% of the people eating it, why shouldn´t they make the weather map look like the real hell if 80% of the lemmings will eat that BS without questioning anything and fall instantly in climate panic because of two days of summer weather in mid-summer.

These are the same propaganda channels who call green new deal terrorists, who for example "glue" themselves to the streets to eff up average german tax payers (a felony in Germany) etc, "climate activists". At the same time these propaganda sh!tholes are happy to call people who protest against all that madness and for democracy, constitution. freedom, existing laws etc rightwingers and nazis, anti-democratic terrorists and a danger to Germany.

The cops are the same since Corona, a standing army against the own populationwho only work for the "actual thing" but against constitution, existing laws, common sense, the population they normally should protect. For example, they handle those green new deal terrorists with velvet gloves while these terrorists (it´s not only that sticking to the streets nonsense, they openly propagated that the want to blow up oil pipelines among other things) commit crimes. But if people protest against a loss of democracy, freedom, against the disregard of the constitution and existing laws, these cops are happy to beat up oolderly people, parents in front of their kids, smashing grannies to the floor like MMA fighters, tear people off their bikes who only loudly read the constitution in public etc.

All that BS goes hand in hand, the propaganda is one of the first steps, what they cops then do one of the next steps of the same evil plan. You noticed how ridiculous that map from 2022 looks. Not the attempt to fool all of us with such cheap psy op tricks is the worst part in this story that unfortunately meanwhile is reality around us. But that it works for around 80% of the people. I don´t know how people can forget what they lived through the last decades when it comes to weather here, nothing ever changed. Except the BS propaganda to push Green New Deal, Great Reset etc. And the former FRG turned into a GDR2.0 since Merkel who was installed to achieve exactly this like it looks now.

Yes, these screenshots are real and this is what i meant with "insult to intelligence".

Seems the 'heat wave' has got to your sense of humour.

As a direct descendent of the first fleet, can I say to my fellow pommie brothers and sisters .... harden up.

You didnt think twice when just over 200 years ago you sent my descendants over to Australia where 40 degrees in summer is as common as what rain is in England

It's over now, nice rain swept day today. Time for the 200+lb sea lions to put their clothes back on, and the cast of Cocoon to stop doddering around on the roads at 27mph everywhere.

So if London had 43 degrees C like Portugal does, it would be Hell on Earth.. weak!

I asked because the last image is almost unreadable, nobody in their right mind would use something like that.

They wouldn't need to come to the Algarve.

The cordon has been lifted and St Mary & St Peter's Church , Wennington was left untouched by the fire , the grass is charred but the Grade II* listed building is undamaged.
