  1. Major turnaround for how the summer has been thus far, with average highs running a couple of degrees below average in SW Spain and Portugal since March/April, now looking at extreme heat. Not convinced about 50c being hit, but Global Warming is a worry for Iberia, 47.3C was hit very easily last summer, 50c will be hit in Spain one day.

  2. Fully expecting on upgrade on forecasts for Monday/Tuesday, 30-32c certainly achievable on both days with thunder possibility later on Tuesday.

    Would be very shocked if 51c occured in Portugal but certainly 45c which is a massive shift from how summer has gone down there so far, Lisbon and Porto have been running well below average temperatures for a number of months.

  3. Its funny to see all of these threads popping up in a midst of a classic summer, but in my view August 2008 was even worse than June 2012, simply because at least June 2012 was interesting for the high amount of rainfall. August 2008 was just boring, I remember Street Viewing Australia just so I could see the sun haha.

  4. It was the ONLY good summer here during the 2007-2012 period, thanks to a hot end to June and the stormiest July of the last 10 years here, no month has come close since for storms. August was also one of the best of the bad Augusts we have had from 2004-2017

  5. Exciting times for heat fans. A real potential for a repeat of last Thursday to take place late this week and into next week, but with much hotter air over Spain and France, 36-37c possible in the London area if things stay as projected. Not sure I agree about the French record going as that was sustained over an exceptional summer (2003) but certainly 40-42c is possible with 45c in Spain. Still more runs needed until this can be concluded though.

    Probably because it didn't feel too warm? What is it with people on this stupid forum having to constantly question other people's weather preferences? 

    To me, high teens and gusty winds does not constitute warm, in any sense. It is a distinctly below-par summer's day. It's not awful, but far from ideal and if we had an entire summer of days like today, it would go down as a poor one. Now, if it was low 20s with sunshine and little wind, that would be different - you would have no complaints from me (and quite frankly, certain people on here have spent more time moaning about other people wanting hot weather than I have moaning about it being cooler, which I haven't really done at all).

    This, some people prefer more traditional British summers and others prefer more Mediterranean/Continental style summers, neither preference is technically better, it is merely just a preference, those ridiculing people for wanting t-shirt weather for a couple months a year are pathetic frankly.

    Awful weather, cool, windy and rainy tomorrow by the looks of it. 

    Hurry up next week - back to the warm temperatures 

    Got enough of this crap weather to deal with come October for 6 months. 

    Today's not bad to be fair, 21c is just about warm enough even with the wind, Tomorrow belongs in another season though.
