UK Heatwave and AC
- Grey returned to the UK after the hottest day on record.
- Ironically, workers were doubling his AC system on that day, highlighting the increasing need for AC in the UK.
Verifying Record Temperatures
- The Met Office needs a week to verify the record temperature.
- An engineer will inspect the equipment and data for anomalies like a nearby car or sudden spikes.
Defining "Hottest Day"
- "Hottest day" refers to the highest temperature recorded anywhere in a country, not an average.
- This definition makes more sense for smaller countries like the UK than for larger ones like the US.
