I do feel the heaven gods have not been kind to you good folk in the NW this summer. Looks like endless days of cloud and the odd days of token sunshine . I note this mornings charts have a rainfall over you in the middle of a high pressure and no where else in Western Europe. Also the cricket matches last week were rain affected in both Manchester and Leeds whilst the rest of the country remained parched ( England and Wales ). Surely, you are due a bit of luck in the sunshine stakes !

In fairness it's not been that bad this year, compared to recent summers it's been very warm and dry and we have had some good sunny days, we were down in the midlands earlier in the week and the ground looked a lot more parched than when we returned home .

I have travelled extensively over the years and experienced 40c+ temps before ,but the heat today in the garden made me feel uncomfortable ,I had to keep going inside just to cool down,I was a bit concerned as I had major heart surgery in February so I didn't want to tempt fate,We visited Kos Greece in June and temps were in the low/mid 30's but I never felt uncomfortable or worried . I have a couple of weather sensors in the garden and at one point they were both registering between 41c-42c in the shade,I know temps are liable to be affected by external objects but nevertheless it was bloody hot.Currently 27.2c and feeling much better especially after another cool shower. We're going down to Birmingham on Sunday for a couple of days to meet up with friends ,nice to see it's likely to stay relatively hot( between 23-27c forecast)

This is my kind of warmth this morning with sunny-blue skies, the sun giving off radiant heat, but the airmass not being so oppressively humid that it's too uncomfortable to be out in the direct sunshine. It's quite odd to think today's daytime maximum temp will be Monday overnight's minimum.
It's perfect at the moment

Not often you see the European hot spots cooler than NW England,Greek islands around 32c,Rome at 31c.
JFF anyone want to Guess the highest temperature for NW England,perhaps use Manchester Airport as the official station.My guess is 39.9c Tuesday afternoon.
37.6c

I was shocked when i saw that, usually when a heatwave strikes Wigan gets a partly cloudy day with an evening shower and mild temps
..Unbelievable that 41c is so near
I have travelled a lot to the Mediterranean and beyond in my 61 years so have experienced 40c+ temps on occasions ,but I'm really excited that we could get it here for the first time.

Beautiful day here today as was Monday when it reached 23c , yesterday was overcast but hopeful that the next week should see us in the NW get some decent warm sunny weather ,would love to get the BBQ out this weekend, and the paddling pool for the Grandkids.

Just cut the grass (can’t really be described as a lawn) and didn’t realise how brown it has gone with the sun and heat over the last week or so; it’s probably as dried out as I have ever seen it in 25 years living in the house.
that said I’m happy the rain looks like staying well south of here with a continuation of the dry, albeit cooler weather lasting over the weekend.p and into next week.
I’d sooner spend 30 minutes with the hose pipe than after 5 horrendously hot days spent working inside, end up with two days of rain on my days off.
Me too, I was pleased to see that we will probably get a sunny warm weekend after the earlier forecasts.Very hot again here today.

We're off to Guernsey on Sunday for 6 days,the weather was looking really good, we'd planned trips to Herm and Sark but the models seem to be edging away from a warm settled scenario...Fingers crossed it improves

Had almost 36 hrs of heavy rain here,temps around 11-12c.Felt more like autumn/winter than spring. Roll on June when I'm heading down south to the wonderful Algarve to celebrate my 60th Birthday

Thought I'd post here rather than the model thread as I'd no doubt be shot down by the people on there , but I wish these April synoptic charts had been in January , we would've been looking at a deep cold spell , instead we have it in April when all I want is some warm sunshine, it's all very depressing.

Had a low of -7.9c last night which is the coldest I can remember for a few years, had a sunny day which has helped to melt some of the frost/ice but everything still frozen especially in the shade, had lying snow on the front garden(north facing) since the weekend.
