There is no denying temps are getting warmer but did any models predict those 90 days in Bradford...that is the wonderment. Mdt wise the results were much warmer than the predicts and that is both a worry and a question on environmental influence. We had By far the coolest Aug in 4 years in my part of the area and models predicted some of that.
In 2011 Bradford reached 90 in September. In 1941 MDT reached 97 on October 5th and 7th: higher than any temp MDT reached this summer. In 1984 MDT reached 75 on Dec 29th. Those types of records are the shockers to me.
