Why, with global warming, has there been rain here in UK with temperatures under 20C throughout Summer?

Global climate is weather averaged over the whole earth, and also averaged over time; a five to ten year moving average provides a pretty stable output and is a good measure of climate.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions such as CO2 & methane; surely you've heard of this?
And, truth be told, we're making progress!!
Current average atmospheric CO2 levels: 417.2 parts per million. That's about 50% higher than pre-industrial levels. In 1990, average CO2 levels were about 355 ppm.

The Paris Accords set a limit on temperature rise. The Accords agree to limit global temperature rise this century at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
For large industrial countries like the US, that means cutting its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to about 50% below 2005 levels by 2030.
In 2005, US CO2 emissions were 19.5 metric tons per capita. In 2021 we emitted 14.24 metric tons per capita That means the US is more than half way to the Paris Accords emission level.
Lemme repeat that - the US CO2 emissions cuts are already more than half way to the Paris Accords levels!
We are doing pretty well, and the dire economic predictions of the anti-environemental extremists are proven false.
Because its not global warming, ITS CALLED WEATHER
True, as far as it goes. One season across the UK is indeed "weather" not "climate."@FaithfulTalia says
Changes in climate patterns can be visible by looking at weather.
True. Averaging a hemisphere over a month can give an indication.Global climate is weather averaged over the whole earth, and also averaged over time; a five to ten year moving average provides a pretty stable output and is a good measure of climate.
and how do propose to fix the climate. Sending our tax money to climate alarmists does not fix the climate.
DUUUDE!!!Reducing greenhouse gas emissions such as CO2 & methane; surely you've heard of this?
