How quickly temperatures rise isn’t just about how warm the air starts out, but how dry the land and atmosphere are.Dry ground heats up faster than moist ground because less energy is used for evaporation and more goes directly into raising temperature.There is strong evidence that UK summer soils are becoming drier as the climate warms, with Met Office projections showing earlier seasonal drying and more frequent droughts, particularly in southern and eastern England.The same principle applies higher above the ground. Large, slow‑moving areas of high pressure – often called blocking highs or heatdomes – are large areas of sinking…
