  1. Ive got to agree that the recent spell of heat is like an island in a sea of mediocrity. But least its not been too wet. I was camping recently in Lincolnshire and was talking to someone who works there who was saying its been pretty good there for the last 3 weeks. So the fairly dry conditions have been noticed.

  2. Yes SS. It looks like the op is too willing to bring back the cool breezy northwesterlies, whereas the ECM mean maintains the idea of things hotting up again out at days 8 to 10.

     

    But theres still lots of warmth closer to the present day and temperatures will be at or slightly above the seasonal average on Sunday-Tuesday even after the heat has passed. More like average on Wednesday and Thursday.

  3. If we hadnt reached the dizzy heights of 36c today im sure many people would be salivating over the GFS 12z showing 30c in the SE at 240h. And while it is a cooler trend into next week, there is enough to encourage those wanting a return to the summery conditions of present. Both ECM and GEFS means bring a rise in pressure from the south at the end of next week. Plenty to get through once we get there though.

  4. Agree that stays hot now until Monday but cannot agree that signs are for temps to rise after mid week. All signs jet anomaly models NAO show a return to near normal temps with a flat jet bringing west to sw and sun an showers. Nothing sustained in terms of heat showing.

     

     

    Near normal temps for a time before a pressure rise from the south, shown on both ECM and GEFS means which would lead to temperatures rising.

  5. We are truly into mid summer now and what a wonderful time of year it is with daylight almost at its max. The chilly nagging northwesterlies seem a long time ago now. It looks like staying pretty warm here now till next Monday, then a short cooler spell and after that there are signs that pressure and temperatures will be once again on the rise. We have been spoilt in the last 2 Julys and i hope this one is the same. Nothing worse than the light evenings being ruined by horrid autumnal like wind and rain.

  6. I won't pretend to be experienced with reading charts. What are the chances of us getting a reload of heat next week possibly setting us up for a July 2006 repeat? 

     

    It's wonderful we're getting some real heat again, but would love it to continue past this coming week. 

     

    This is what the GEFS 12z mean is showing at the moment. So its likely to remain on the warm side even after the main heat has passed.

  7. Today has been a very typical "heat wave in development" day, with breezy south-westerlies and temperatures in the low twenties, as the Azores High ridges into Europe. The temperatures are all on the upward trend from now!

     

    Also, I think the models and the forecasts are widely undercooking tomorrow's temperatures. I think we could widely see temperatures in the 22-27C range, for England and Wales anyway.

     

    Yes it occurred to me that today is the start of what should be a cracking week of Summer heat, sunshine and storms. In only a couple of days the SE will be touching 30c. And although the heat does depart on Friday night, the models are indicating that it could be back for a time a couple of days later. Plenty of interest for summer fans.

  8. Well the ECM 12z mean is outstanding. Following the midweek spell of heat we see winds tilting SE dragging up a second pulse of hot air up from France on Friday, and into Saturday. The 20C isotherm is just off the Kent coast on Saturday which, for the mean output 7 days out is quite something. The mean ends with LP to the NW and further warm/very warm air affecting the UK. Upper temps remaining above 10C for most of England and Wales at day 10.
