Just what does a spell of British weather have to do with global climate?

But it's not just in the UK that we're experiencing weather extremes,
it's worldwide.


What extremes?
Just because something is the best/worst on record doesn't make it an
extreme.
Most weather records haven't been kept for long enough to know what the
extremes are.
Even in the UK many records are only for the last 20-40 years.

The current British weather is not even extreme we have had far worse in
the last 50 years.
