Alright refugees!

I reckon we need to have a threat to chat. About stuff. With reddit 'closing' for the next few days in some cases, and foreseeable in others, I felt like this thread was appropriate.

What are you all up to today? Anything interesting going on? I already know it's too hot.

What happened to the Gulf Stream? I learnt in school that the Gulf Stream kept our temperatures in a nice moderate range. Why did I have to run the central heating for most of May, then 2 weeks later open all the windows and keep the fan on all night? Where has the Gulf Stream gone and how do we get it back?

I stay in the Northern Isles, believe me the gulf stream keeps our temperatures in a very moderate range. If you like it gray and damp the North of Scotland has you covered.

I think it's the inverse, the gulf stream (if I understand it correctly) keeps the UK warm as we are roughly on the same equatorial line as Canada/Alaska/Russia. Without it we'd likely be much colder in general which doesn't sound to bad right about now, though in winter it'd suck
