To say I am galled is an understatement, a full week of enduring temps at around 30c everyday here which has been hell... and not even a whiff of a thunderstorm , and non in the forecasts, apart from the usual places (yawn)
Central parts of NW England have had some of the hottest conditions in the UK in this spell , but the storms just stay away , apart from a short lived isolated storm over Manchester yesterday . just not good enough , Today has been a little less hot , but Saturday now looks dry with temps still at 26c , so you can add on a degree or two to that , Not the cooldown here as predicted , hopefully sunday sees the proper cooling setting in . Sick as a pig of sweating

still 26c outside here at 22.30, no breeze and the bedroom is like a sauna . wigan is currently one of the warmest spots in the uk , even london is only 22c , what the hell is going on ? the temps are very reluctant to fall , god this getting tedious , another night where sleep will be hard to come by , hate this now

thermometer peaked at 31c ,
today was another day of purgatory at work in this stifling heat , not convinced tomorrow will feel any better , forecast is for only 26c but I think thats another underestimation as they have been all week , saturday will be the main cooling , If we dont get any thunder after enduring this draining heat I will be livid ,

I normally like fine summer weather followed by thunderstorms , like we used to get in the 80's and 90's , but this spell has been just horrific heat here , and storms are not even a cert anymore . 30c plus all week . hard to sleep , and even harder to work , get about 2,00pm in the afternoon and its purgatory
loose interest in doing more work , roll on Saturday

Folk change....don't you ever stop?
I used to get excited over up and coming hot sunny spells. especially when the tstorms were forecast as the spell went on ,
I dread hot spells now , really disrupts my sleep , going to work on no or little sleep in heat is torture . Dont get me wrong I haven't turned into a proper cold fan , I hate prolonged icy spells in winter for different reasons , but I can cope with it better , Still like the storms heat can bring though , but even them are pot luck these days . I like 20c to 23 c in summer and 7c to 12c for winter , I suppose that makes me a mildy . This heat is not 'mild' weather

No thunder here yesterday , I dont normally go chasing storms , always feel like its a wild goose chase to me ,,,but watching all that frenzied lighting activity on the radar was obvious it was going to cross the M62 around the huddersfield halifax area , so a choice ,,,watch england or have a very good chance of seeing a decent storm at dusk , no brainer , off in the car and timed it perfect , quiet roads too, The drive through one of the intense rain cores was scary on motorway, pulled off near Huddersfield and watched a bit of lighting and heard some deep explosive sounding thunder ,

This overcast grey stratus, clagg and moderate rain dross seems to be lingering longer than the forecast implied , when does the sunny spells and heavy cumulonimbus stuff move in ?

Maybe Bill Gates plan of reducing sunlight to combat global warming has been going on , on the hush , I am not one for conspiracy theories mind
It really does feel like what a nuclear winter would be like during summer months

When we have a dry warm spring we are always talking about paying for it later with drab summer and it seems to be the case , the weather tends to balance out. Funny how the reverse seems not to happen as often,
will we have to 'pay' for a having a cool wet spring by having a dry warm summer ? hmmmmm

The mildies got their wish and a few weeks ago were celebrating the warmer 850 hPa temp profile this May, it's coming back to haunt them now with all the crap wet weather, hard to feel any sympathy for them.
If this was mid winter the current temps would be classed as 'mild' and being a mildy myself I dont mind the current temps , good for sleeping ! I hate extreme cold and I hate high summer heat , I like it 'mild' you should be gloating at the very hot weather lovers ! , but I fear some heat will eventually get us later in the summer

Liverpool is one hundred percent the new Lincolnshire.
If storms are forecast anywhere in the country, they will happen over Liverpool.

some vigorous cumulus cauliflower heads lit up brilliant white by the sun , blue sky around too, not expecting much here, nothing much ever does , I expect any heavy/thundery showers that do develop will go up a good few miles west of here and miss , or to the east and pass up that way , seems the norm

Ok another moan from me
A prolonged period of cool/ below average temperatures and, according to climate change zealots just the weather doing its natural variations
A prolonged period of warmth .....oh look more evidence of global warming , now stop driving your car and pay more tax please

Why would anyone want mild now?
Me ! I want to drive to work and get there in one piece, Actually I dont mind cold , as long as its not pipe freeing stuff , its snow I dont want, cold dry crisp sunny days are fine
BTW I hate high temps too , anything over 27c is unwelcome , as is anything under -4 , Proper mildy me haha , thats why I will be always be living in the UK , perfect temps most of the year , just wish we had more Thorms,

I’m new on here I made the mistake of venturing into the model thread. I’m now terrified! I know people like events that make history but there seems to be so much glee. I don’t understand it.
Its because widespead heavy snow is 'rare' in these so called warming times , and for some people it all brings back memories of childhood playing in the snow , I was the same , but I have grown out of that , I dont mind fresh transient snow if I dont have to travel in it , its fun to watch , and then for it to vanish soon after , lingering snow that turns grey and brown and then refreezes is vile , and it looks vile , it is what inevitably happens here, cant for the life of me see the appeal

Week ahead forecast showing something a bit milder by the end of the week
Hmmmm hope so, but I think this could change again , my bet is the cold will linger beyond the weekend , or even reload , it can be stubborn . I wonder if the extreme cold in North America with spill into the atlantic and fire up the jet , the jet then bulldozing its way over the UK , One to watch ? nothing suggests that at the moment though

Not the big cooldown as forecast damn , at least no horrific heat forecast going forward from here but I suspect Saturday will still be very warm , its now outstayed its welcome , still cant cool the house down ,
at least next week looks better to rid the house of this disgusting heat
