“122-Year Record Broken!”—But Is 31.7°C Really
Cause for Alarm?
Headlines warned of a 122-year-old temperature record
being broken—sounds ominous, right? Until you check the numbers.
On June 8, 2025, the thermometer peaked at 31.7°C,
nudging past the previous record of 30.6°C set way back in 1903. That’s a
difference of just 1.1 degrees, over more than a century.
Is this really a climate emergency—or just a warm
summer day finally catching up with history?
We’re told to panic. But if you’re someone who’s been
waiting all winter to soak up some sunshine and Vitamin D, this might feel more
like a gift than a threat.
Yes, climate change deserves serious, evidence-based
discussion. But let’s not confuse every warm afternoon with the end of the
world. One warm day does not make a crisis—no more than one snowstorm disproves
global warming.
So before we sound the sirens, let’s ask: is this
news, or narrative?
