I recall the last 5 Summers being crappy, cold and wet. Was that global warming too?

Also the snow we witnessed in March. I’m putting that down to global warming too.

It's hard to say if a particular heatwave is due to global warming. The press will often imply that it is, whereas scientific bodies tend to be more cautious. We are supposed to expect a greater frequency of heatwaves into the future however as mean global temperature increases. How severe those will be - and how frequent - is uncertain.
