This heatwave lark seems a bit overcooked at the moment, current charts locally suggest, Thursday is the only day reserved for any temp above 80f, the South-east and Eastern England appear at the moment to be the area's likely to kop any severe heat.
This next "heatwave" if it does eventually expose itself, still and always will be limited to the southeastern corner/third of the country, not the whole of the UK.
Being as the way this spring/summer is going, still can't see this "breakdown" going to plan though, pretty much like many of the bizarre results in the Russian World Cup. (Sorry, just had to bring that in to it!)
Don't worry, couple of hours at most, be surprised if it's that long with the sun's strength, got some of the dregs here, starting to lift already, only arrived 1/2 hour ago.
Don't know what people are " moaning " about, because 24 - 27C is perfectly fine to me, especially this time of year, and in direct sunlight, which to some would more than likely be too hot.
The MetOffice has my location (Wolverhampton), only up to the dizzy heights of 18C tomorrow, possibly due to the cloud from the Irish sea again, plus next week only pushing 26C, so hardly sweltering temps from their forecast, just being a little cautious i presume.
Our good old friend "The Atlantic" looks like it will be slowly be surely pushing it's way in over the second half of the weekend - on the latest runs that is.
There is a small group to the north of me, which are drifting south, similar to yesterday when one formed to the west of my location, but that died and didn't reach me.
Looks like it's make the most of today, as the met and beeb say lovely mirk, cloud and NE breeze back all day tomorrow and Tuesday, we shall see. Warm, sunny spells here, after a clear start, temp, 20.7C.
