• Some say that Soldiers shortened the "General Purpose" designation to "GP," from which the easily pronounceable word "Jeep" was derived.
• Meanwhile Marathon Watch Company officially began manufacturing timing instruments for infantry of the Allied Forces.
• "We are thrilled to embark on this partnership with Jeep," said Mitchell Wein, President of Marathon Watch Company.

• This made it the hottest year on record, 0.17°C higher than the previous record in 2016.
• However, shortly after that announcement, the Met Office also forecast a multi-day blast of cold Arctic air bringing sub-zero temperatures, snow and ice to many parts of the UK.
• When the cold snap arrived, temperatures dropped to -14°C in the Scottish Highlands and -11°C even in England.
• Yet just ten days on from that record warmth, much of the UK has again been hit by unusually cold and snowy weather.

You cannot sense the climate

• We can spot climate changes in environmental shifts like receding glaciers or early flowering plants, and we can track changes with instruments.
• But it remains very hard to “feel” climate change.

Hot one day, cold the next

• The weather might be hot one day and cold the next, but an annual mean climate cannot suddenly slide from warm to cold.
• For example, weather information might refer to the local temperature at noon or 4pm, the daily minimum, average or maximum temperatures, or the weekly average.
• Climate information might refer to, for example, average temperatures over a month, or averages over seasonal (three-month) periods, years or decades.

The line wiggles upwards

• There are, of course, some variations of around 0.1°C or so – the wiggles in the red line – as the climate does not change perfectly smoothly.
• That’s why 2016 was exceptionally hot, and the years after were slightly cooler.
• These variations become more pronounced when we zoom in and examine a smaller regional area or shorter time units.
• Looking at the right-hand graph alone – 174 years of data – you’d struggle to spot recent climate change.

• They show that the chances of experiencing sub-zero weather is still significant even in the more recent 2002-2022 period.
• However, the “tail” of daily minimum temperatures to the left of the mean is thinner, so extreme cold temperatures are less common.
• These are signs that Oxfordshire is warming over the long term, and its winters are warming slightly faster than the world as a whole.
