While some may argue that the recent increase in temperatures in Malta, the United Kingdom and beyond are typical of the summer season, recent aerial images of the UK and global heat anomaly maps truly show the concerning state of climate change around the world.
This theory was recently put down altogether by London’s walking and cycling commissioner Will Norman who posted two global heat anomaly maps from June 1976 and June 2022. These maps show the abnormal temperatures that each country would be passing through.
People keep telling me that because the UK had a heatwave in 1976, climate change is overhyped.
So here’s the global heat anomaly maps from June 1976 and June 2022. https://t.co/GGVg46UTcI pic.twitter.com/tngiGoEEUl

The map of 1976 shows that temperature anomalies weren’t that common that year whilst the map of 2022 shows that temperature anomalies have been a global problem this summer with the rise of global warming concerns. Heat waves all around Europe have been very common.
Countries such as the UK and regions like the north of France have found it very hard to tackle these temperatures since the land, people and buildings aren’t used to such heat.
Meteorologist Dan Holley also showcased some shocking images which showed the harsh reality of climate change as more and more heatwaves hit the globe.
