UK surface area: 243,610 km2
Earth surface area: 510,072,000 km2
In other words, the UK comprises 0.05% of the Earth's surface area... tell me again why its weather is being portrayed as representative of the globe as a whole? Tom?
How much of the Earth's surface does Moscow cover? How about Pakistan?
The Moscow heat wave was (at least) 4 standard deviations above the mean.... The UK snow certainly isn't.

Tom did not portray UK's weather as representative of the globe as a whole so your question is based on a false premise.
