There have been a few more recent heat waves – we usually get one each year. The most recent one was in 2009 – 6 consecutive days over 40 degrees C (104 F). March 2010 was also pretty hot. However this is normal for us, not CAGW!
..and we didn’t really have a heatwave last summer (2010/2011).. now *that* is unusual.
