The big difference between the heatwaves of 1976 and 2018.
June 1976: the UK was one of the warmest places relative to normal across the globe, with most areas cooler than average.
June 2018: the UK was just another warm blob in a mostly warmer than normal world.

Wow, this got far more exposure than I was anticipating! I’m glad this has made the global warming picture make sense for so many. Data and maps from the excellent @NASAGISS website, where you can plot similar maps (with whatever base period you like!).
Another thing I’ve got out of the response to this tweet: these maps shouldn’t be surprising. And that shows how much better (still!) we, in the meteorology and climate science community, have to be at communication of the data.
