Watnall (Nottingham) recorded 39.8c, 3.7c above the previous record before this spell. Absolutely unbelieve to think it could be 15c lower tomorrow but still be above average. If this is the future then there needs to be a change in infrastructure. New homes need to have aircon as standard as its too bloomin hot!

Yep, 39c in Nottingham, could possibly squeeze 40c in the next hour. Before yesterday record was 36.1c, so broken on both days and smashed it today!

29.5c here now, shot up 5c in an hour! Indoor temps upstairs did not get below 28.6 last night and now up to 29.6. Going to be a very rough night to sleep tonight. If cloud cover is limited then I can easily see 40c in Notts by 3pm

It was 17c at 6am when I got up, just taken my son to pre-school and now 22c at 7.50 already. I left all windows on the latch last night and temps only dropped by 1c indoors and now at 26c. Going to be a tough few days as working at home with no aircon.

Currently 22.5c downstairs and about 23.5 upstairs. Willl be interesting to see people's temps on Mon or Tuesday. I'm guess many people will see indoor temps in the 40s....scary prospect! Bought 2 new fans at half price at the start of the month as soon as I saw this plume on the GFS. Will be making loads of ice lollies to keep my soon cool!

Just looking at the GEFS 6z, taking the midlands as an example, there are 11 out of the 30 that at some point get the 850s down below -10, indicating that the high has a decent chance of a move in to a favorable position to advect cold from the north/east within the next 2 weeks. Still all to play for! Its like the weather lotto, hoping that the Op will at some time match one of the winning (cold and snowy) ensemble clusters. Lets hope it will happen soon, otherwise it will end up as a must be won (boom or bust) moment, where we hit the jackpot or the prize is cascaded down and we end up with nothing to shout about (a sinking high).
