  1. Yes it’s an epic failure from the models (and pros) for today. I’ll reserve judgement on tomorrow!
  2. I tried to make a similar point earlier. The models have been pretty off the mark for today’s conditions at very short range. So I still think anything is possible for Sunday - Tuesday. Write off 40C at your peril! UKV had temps of 29 today, and it’s likely to be 32.
  3. Yes agreed about the high cloud - but that in itself wouldn't prevent some sunshine. It's been more like mid-level cloud.
  4. Yes, I saw those. But Meto forecast even this morning went for sunny spells in the south. Doubt it will be that low. Just the usual inter-run variation.
  5. Don't expect detail for next Sunday and Monday yet. The models were wrong about today only yesterday. Wasn't meant to be cloudy today.
  6. Agreed. Small adjustments in this setup can make big differences down the line. What I would like to see expunged is the trend to bring in an easterly flow. The 6z seems to have bucked that.
  7. 40.6C at one of the London stations (Monday 18th July).
  8. Don't forget though - the BBC will be using old data for their forecasts. This time yesterday, the record looked more likely to be broken. However, if the trend on the GFS 6z continues on the 12z runs, we may well be back in business.
  9. I think the GFS 6z shows that we shouldn't write off chances of breaking records just yet. We have seen this before. In August 2003, the peak of the heat was forecast to be gone before 9th / 10th August. However, as it approached, the models trended hotter, which is what actually transpired.
  10. In answer to a previous post, Paris is not always 2-3 C warmer than London. Today is a case in point, with London actually warmer than Paris.
  11. The usual under-playing of temperatures. They are always below what actually transpites.
  12. 16 straight days above 21C is hardly noteworthy in July in southern England!
  13. True - think we will see 5+ days 0f 30C, which is very good, with a couple of days topping 90F.
  14. As much as I don't rate the BBC forecasts, it shows what difference a small shift can make. Although unlikely, I wouldn't want to bet too much money against Saturday being very hot in the SE.
  15. True - this place is great, but it’s frustrating that some people never learn from past experience!
  16. And are people really believing rainfall charts which are often wrong at 24 hours away?
  17. The site is definitely faulty. Before this year, it hardly ever appeared at the top of the leader board.
  18. 30C will be surpassed widely today. Already exceeding 28C in some places before midday. I’d say today’s max will be in the 32-33 range somewhere.
