Guess what happened in the UK today for the third day running.
Yep, a new June temperature record, latest report is Suffolk provisionally reaching 37.3C.
Should be the last. Thankfully it’s changed at my location. From 30C at 1AM, it’s been fresh and about 21C since noon.

I am trying to complied an article about the effect of the sun on British and European temperatures.
I typed into Google ai the question
How sunny was it in roman times.
I then substituted the word medieval.
To my surprise it told me that both periods were warmer and sunnier than today.
I would be grateful if people could type the same questions into their own search engines and write down the results
Has ai suddenly become realists?

How did the Roman Armies Conquer all those places with these temps? Did they march and do it during Winter and cooler months?
And how about those Knights with suits of armour and chain mail. And the poor horses.
They must have been tough people and animals. No Air Conditioning then.
I think I’ll ask the ALPBC here in Australia.
LOL
