Which (measureable) criterion needs to be fulfilled so that you would acknowledge this as a trend?

Heatwaves need to become more clustered. At the moment we get them every so often at roughly the same rate we always did.

As mentioned June ( very hot ) was 18th out of 350.

There were 17 other hotter Junes in 350 years... many pre industrial revolution and therefore immune from CO2 considerations.

It is a trend. You are deluding yourself if you do not believe the overwhelming scientific concensus on that conclusion.

And anyway, its not really about the outliers. The trend seems clear: https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs/graph_data/Tempera...

Yea cool_look that graph basically addresses your primary argument as well a citing as source (which you did not).

I assume this means you concede? Or is the graph doctored?
