From 2022’s extreme heat, but the explanation still is valid about why “other countries seem to manage”
Jen Bartram 🐈‍⬛@JenBartram16 Jul 2022
Just to clear something up: yes, other countries have temperatures higher than what we are expecting and yes, “they seem to manage”. But they manage because they get high temps much more regularly than us. Let me give some examples: (1/n)

My @TEDxDurhamUK talk from November is now available on YouTube. In it, I talk about trolling, why it happens and how to support people who are experiencing it. youtu.be/8R0Wkw0wgCs

The new weather changes prompted me to rake through my archives of the last 16+ years of doing weather and it has been a wild ride (which started off very breathy and high pitched) 🫣 - here’s to the next 16!

There are some big changes happening within local weather at the BBC, which mean that last night was my last regular appearance at BBC Look North, though I’ll be back from time to time. They’re the best team I’ve ever worked with and I’m going to miss them terribly (1/2)

I’ll still be working in weather though, mostly for the team at BBC London and occasionally popping up elsewhere around the country. (2/2)

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who supported and sponsored me yesterday in the Great North Run. I struggled a lot having felt a bit unwell but proud to have finished it. There were tens of thousands of people lining the streets - it was incredible.

Starting to get emotional already ahead of this years #GNR. It’ll be number 16 for me but a really poignant one in memory of my father-in-law. Collecting as much sponsorship as I can to help @ProstateUK justgiving.com/fundraising/g…

Early look at @Great_Run weather for next Sunday and could be lovely for spectators! As someone who doesn’t enjoy running in any more than 10 degrees, a little too hot for me - sunscreen and hydration will be a must.

Managed a 10 mile run today - only two weeks to go until the Great North Run. This year I’d like to raise as much as I can to support Prostate Cancer UK in memory of my father-in-law Pete justgiving.com/fundraising/g…

Can’t believe it’s six weeks until the Great North Run, which will be my 16th. This year I’m running for @ProstateUK in memory of my lovely father in law, Pete, who died five weeks ago. 🥺💔 justgiving.com/fundraising/g…

I created this thread in 2022 but it’s useful to respond to the question that some are asking: why do other countries seem to manage in the heat but not the UK.
