Not Looking Good For This Summer Already

It doesn't bode well when we are only in April and already weather records are tumbling as Spain sees it's hottest April day on record with temperature of 38.7 °C.
As well as the result of increasing Climate Change pushing up temperatures, we also have an El Nino on the way so the extreme weather gripping parts of the world could make it a very uncomfortable summer.
 As well as the stonking July heat in April conditions in Spain, it has also had raging but wildfires and in areas of Thailand, the Government warned its citizens not to go outside due to the extreme heat as the country's meteorological service noted an April record 45 °C (113 °F) for the first time ever and Authorities in parts of India shut schools for a week due to the sweltering temperatures.
Central California face flooding following extreme conditions which saw record levels of rain and melting snow and so soon as returning to their homes after 10,000 Californians fled their homes last month after widespread flooding and snow.
Climate Scientists are warning average global temperatures could hit record highs this year driven by climate change and the El Nino weather phenomenon.
with the MET Office saying that the current record for global temperature occurred in 2016 and it's no coincidence that followed the last big El Nino.
In the UK, households and water companies are already being urged to focus on saving water as officials prepare for another dry, hot summer and a hosepipe is already in effect across parts of Devon.
Britain unfortunately gained it's record highest temperature of 40.3 °C (104.5 °F) in July last year and with the upward heat trend and El Nino, the odds are good that this will be broken again this year so grab your fans while you can because the shops may well sell out again this year.
