Stop using asphalt anywhere. Asphalt shingles and roads reflect and absorb heat 30 degree temperature asphalt 46 that makes all surrounding areas extremely hot. Roof shingles same math.
Where are our tax money going?????? Why was that fire not stopped in time? The fire doesn't seem to have been big. Also, why the hell are landowners fighting the fire, and why the hell are SKY news choppers there before the national fire brigade? Who's going to pay these people?
Often fires are caused by arsonists or people leaving material that can combust. This is not caused by climate change. On my 24th birthday (nearly 35 years ago) my next door neighbours shed caught alight because of internal combustion. People drop cigaret ends on dry grasslands and set fires. The bad actions of individuals are often the cause of fires.
Sure but dropping a cigarette on wet ground is different from Wet moist ground. Conditions matter. I guess the future will tell. Hope it's not climate change. But if it is be 🙏 won't matter.

Something closer to journalism from Sky eventually. However a simple visit to Google maps and the “compost heap” turns out to be two substantial piles of trash and no doubt glass.
That was pretty much a wildfire+atleast they tried+look at the other fires they **have** put out+ police are decent, need more of them though+paramedic s are good= respect
Does 40C heat cause spontaneous combustion? Was the time of the month a contributing factor? Suddenly, so many fires starting on the same day across the country; could this be anthropogenic? Does “arson” have a hidden, silent “x” before the “r”?
if that started in a compost bin how come the field behind it was on fire when the wind was bolwing across the field towards the back of house where the compost bin was
Holiday resorts across the globe would view our recent temperatures as par for the course and must be wondering why Britain is suffering multiple outbreaks of fire. Even more bizarre, our food factories are going up in flames - even on overcast days. Very strange... almost like it was done on purpose!
Im in Portugal with regular 40 plus and dry weather... Compost piles here don't just combust like that... Especially if the house is unattended... Takes a special balence of carbon and nitrogen waste to get a pile hot.. This was something else..
In the Federal Republic of Germany if we call a full fire station with all fire apparatus and personnel out we run the sirens and people alarm from the next voluntary fire station how to enter this empty station - specially at this kind of emergency. I think then the firefighters can starts earlier after the first emercency call. The other what I do not understand why the bin owner put flammable goods into his/her bin? Why someone should be so stupid? It is very bad that the fire kill the plants on the field but it is more bad that so many homeowners loose her/his house. I hope the insurance of them will pay all - but they're can't give back photos or other unique rare own things. My condolences to them! 😱😭
It can start in a pile of wet fabric, in the 60s a big flour mill caught fire in a big heap of wet hessian sacks, hay bales can catch light if baled wet and stacked in a barn
10 million people live in Greater London& millions more visitors & commuters than any other city . So potentially around 10xs the 999 calls+ less gaps between houses increasing the risk. Also the largest chunk of concrete in Europe soaks up heat
Great analysis. But where is the best place to live? We are told to grow trees and have fields Vs concrete so heat is not radiated back to buildings. But these people are living in such an area, and yet suffer wildfires!
Didn't they find some sort of cooking equipment at the source , I imagine human behaviour is at the heart but rather than discover the actual truth it was conveniently passed off as propaganda for a campaign designed to make humans pay more for fuel and suffer this idea wind and solar panels in the UK can run a home. The most responsible thing to do at this time of war by Russia is to use our own resources of coal and allow people some time off from suffering at the hands of those in charge making monumental mistakes
I've never seen anything like this before! Usually a fire in a terraced house only causes quite minor damage to the adjacent properties until brought under control by the fire brigade. This incident shows how the combination of very hot weather and a strong dry wind cases fire to spread to a whole row of houses, fences, garages and overgrown gardens. These are scenes we are more familiar seeing in TV reports from the US and Australia. Maybe we need to have more rigorous rules about allowing land to become overgrown with plants too near to houses, like both those countries do! We have to adapt to the new normal as well as doing all we can to reduce our carbon emissions to avoid making the climate crisis worse.
hello - thanks for posting this, makes for very interesting reading. the quote I've found is "in the shade in London averaged 34-36 °C (93-97 °F)-rising to 48 °C (118 °F) in the sun" and the number we should be comparing is the 36 degrees rather than 48 since temperature measurements need to be taken in the shade to avoid radiative heating. (The measurements in heathrow will have been done in the shade, for example.) I suppose that the errors were much bigger in those days too. Bloody hot in any case.
Rubbish. All due to wind and travel through timber sections of roofs with closeness of houses to each other, Also too few fire brigade units delaying despite station only 100 yards away. This aspect is shocking and would have happened on any hot Summer day. GET REAL
