It's varied form 42C to 47C (daytime highs) here this month,

When it gets to that in Skye, global warming won't be deniable by anybody.

 
It may well get much colder than that, with the Gulf Stream stopping.
Since the warming farther south won't stop the weather will get fiercer.
You'll be getting cold and tropical storms...

"World averages" require some work and thought.  Almost any local
changes could be greater or less, depending on many things.  The
collapse of circulation patterns in the north Atlantic would probably
make things in northern Europe cooler.

Certainly, but that makes all gradients steeper.
So the weather will probably get a lot fiercer,
in a wide band of latitudes,
