Can see the sun through the cloud, but too little too late - what a kick in the balls today has been, and the weekend in general. The hot weather has definitely left here.

Put mine on when I got a shower this morning.. does feel chilly. Looking at the Sat imagery, it is clearing faster now, so I expect the sun to be out in the next hour or so. But, as mentioned, surface heating isn't really the biggest factor so it might not be relevant at all whether the sun comes out or not. -

Tropical storm alert?! I've never heard of such nonsense. -
Bugger off, you ugly stratus crap! Nobody loves you! Get lost!

A thoroughly disgusting start to the working week - just a shame I have no work today! 14.6C. -

Hope you're right.. but the cloud should clear by the afternoon anyway. -

Thunderstorms hate the British Isles so much, they would rather form over open water than over land! http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=lightning;sess= -

Don't worry, everyone - it looks much better for my back yard. Looks more like El (East) Anglio to me, though. -

I expect nothing here at all. I'll be posting in the NSC next week. -
I can only take your word for it, but most people I know are complaining about this - there are a fair amount of fair-skinned people in my family who burn very easily and simply cannot handle the heat. They purposefully stay indoors between 12 and 3 to avoid the midday sun. This isn't just elderly people, as there is only one 'elderly' person in my family and that's my grandmother. My mother in particular who is in her 40s (I'm in my 20s) seems to really detest this type of weather, she's a natural redhead with freckles and pale skin. And this is coming from a person who is sad to see the end of this warm spell. I think people have a tendency to view the world through their own view point, and only tend to pick up on things that they want to hear.

You're being very silly now - you're getting angry over something that we have no control over. People wishing for cooler weather isn't going to make it any more likely to happen - and just because they've been spoilt over the past few years with their desired weather preference, does not mean they should sit in silence and tolerate it. If you don't like people complaining about this weather, then you do not have to read it, or even acknowledge those posters exist, you can pop them on ignore. And I can believe that people will complain about this heat and any potential breakdown to cool, wet weather - some people just prefer a middle-ground, say, sunny spells and 22C, which is very pleasant and conductive to outdoor activities, and is typical of the UK in summer.

Well, as much as I don't want to admit it, it does appear that the heatwave will come to an end quicker than anticipated, even the ECM brings forward the breakdown, though still looking hot until Wednesday. Hope we get some fierce storms on Tuesday, otherwise, looks like a period of thoroughly uninteresting weather to come - comfortable, but boring. Oh well, July 2013 was good. August always disappoints in recent years.

http://www.ogimet.com/indicativos.phtml.en Enter the place name and you will see the max for today. Rosthern near Manchester reached 29.7C. Hawarden reached 30.4C. Crosby reached 29.3C. Castlederg reached 30.1C. Rhyl reached 29.5C. Prestwick Airport reached 29.5C. No figures for Liverpool as the airport station is not a Met one and does not have a WMO code.

Sunny and 24.0C with a NNW wind, becoming noticeable, but then dropping to nothing.
