Summer Sun

The bbc's forecast a few moments ago showed 31c for london on monday, but they also showed the rain / thunderstorm areas before cool air pours in by Wednesday.

Looks like Great Yarmouth will be slightly cooler with the sea breeze, still 27c - 29c is very respectable for the UK coastline.

That's nothing compared to what the express have -

Trust the Express to have a headline like this, KILLER HEATWAVE BRITAIN is braced for a weekend of “extreme†temperatures of up to 90F (32C) prompting health officials to issue an urgent heat warning. Forecasters warn that temperatures will climb “very quickly†to some of the hottest for five years, from 86F today to 90F by Monday. A Level 2 Heat-Health Alert has been issued by the Met Office and the Department of Health – with Level 4 being the highest – particularly for the South. Jonathan Powell, senior forecaster for Positive Weather Solutions, warned: “Extreme heat will cause problems for the elderly and young. “Heat stroke, dehydration and sunstroke are worries for people outdoors for long periods, such as fans at Glastonbury or Wimbledon.†Hospitals have been put on alert and nursing homes are being warned to take extra care to lessen the risk that soaring temperatures will affect the elderly and vulnerable.The hot snap – with humidity higher than in Singapore – has sparked fears that people could die. In the 2003 heatwave 2,000 deaths were blamed on the weather. Experts warn that it is vital for all of us to try to stay cool, avoid direct sunlight if possible and keep hydrated. There will be little relief at night time either. Forecasters are warning of hot and sticky nights with temperatures in London not expected to drop below 63F tonight. Tomorrow it could settle at a thoroughly uncomfortable 68F. Patrick Sachon, head of health forecasting at the Met Office, said: “There is the possibility of daytime and night-time temperatures reaching trigger thresholds.

Found this from another site, Don't know what it means all i know is it has something to do with what may be coming our way.

Wouldn't suprise me to see a downgrade but you never know.

I'm in Great Yarmouth from Tomorrow to Thursday, any chance for me?

Netweather's GFS charts have 27c at 15:00 on Monday And hardly any rain Quite wet Tuesday though This shows the heat areas better for Monday,

PubliusEnigma GFS is underdoing those temps for Monday by a good 5c in some places, GFS shows 25c in London where as the beeb are going for 30c, expect either GFS to upgrade or by out by 5c or so for Monday, then things go out with a bang! Are you on the wind up again.

Erm you sure about that?, Norwich 30c on Monday Peterborough 30c On Monday Even some coastal areas are forecast to be 29c by the beeb, so 30c is quite possible at the coast.

I have just been looking at the models for early July and they are quite promising, with high pressure moving back in from Thursday and lasting into July, Of course southern areas will be warmest but it's looking better than June.

Well maybe it is from the Atlantic but at least it shows at least 5 day's of high pressure, and not Low pressure ok it may not be sunny and dry every day, but anything is better than low pressure, anyway south westerly winds this time of year are warm! At least be optimistic and say July won't be as bad as June

We've had our fair share of warm weather Eugene mainly easter and May, we got upto 26c or 27c, but the day's were short then, if ECM is anything to go by then we could be in for another warm spell this time next week, and lasting longer than 2 to 3 day's http://www.wetterzen...s/Recm2401.html

ECM Keeps the warmth in the far south and east to Tuesday, http://www.wetterzen...cs/Recm722.html http://www.wetterzen...cs/Recm962.html Cooler Wednesday http://www.wetterzen...s/Recm1202.html Then look what's coming from the south west from Thursday http://www.wetterzen...s/Recm1441.html http://www.wetterzen...s/Recm1681.html Let's hope summer is on it's way.

UKMO is now updated and it too looks promising for the end of the week, High pressure looks like it will have a second go, Is this now signs of things to come.

Signs of the Jet stream weakening during July?

Warmish for the start of July in London,

FI continues to give hope for the start of July, no heat like this weekend but it would be pleasent in any sun.

High's over Greenland and UK

In FI but GFS attempts to bring the High back fairly quickly,

Well GFS keep's the warmth into Tuesday in the far south and east, Cooler for all by Wednesday

The far south and east holds onto the heat for Monday,
