Sadly didn’t have access to my thermometer today, 29c or so appears to be what we maxed at. 
 

Awful to be in between nightshifts for. No AC (will buy in the winter), despite a fan etc barely 4 hours of sleep. Bedroom was 27c at midday. 

Even worse ahead tomorrow. Will have access to my themometer so i’ll be very interested to see what we peak at, I suspect the highest i’ve ever recorded >30c. Somewhere well to my East will probably set a new Scottish record.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

25.8c currently and hazy sunshine.

Bit of a breeze though and doesn’t feel muggy. V warm. 
 

Already uncomfortable to sleep in (I work shifts and i’m nightshift next two days, class)

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Lovely day. If it wasn’t for the forthcoming weather I would describe today as warm.

21.4c, full sunshine and light winds. Glorious.

The weather, after a very slow cloudy start, from mid june has been perfect. Getting dry now but we did have some rain end of June. Looks like we’ll get some more soon

is it just me or have a lot of the charts ‘downgraded’ for up here, especially toward the east? we were seeing widespread 32/33 for areas even as far north as moray, now mid/late 20s at best and only areas scratching 30c are right at the border

 

Still some charts showing 33/34c in the very far SE. I think that will be the most likely result with 32c breached in the SE.

Met office now shows 30c for Tuesday which I think is the highest i’ve ever seen it. Usually in my sheltered back yard we get 1/2c above what the met office say.

I do think somewhere in Scotland is going to set a new record for the country on Tuesday.

What is our warmest minimum ever temp?

I expect with the cut off low being in play there very well could be thundery activity though I don't think the models will be able to pick up any features (troughs etc) possibly until the latter part of this coming week.

 yes more than an eyebrow raiser that and the GFS 12z well that's +19C 850s into the forth    

The magical 20c 850s covering me. Wonder what surface temps we’d get with that…

Anyway it’s one ICON run so a firm outside bet but one to watch and within the realms of possibility

EDIT: GFS at it too. I spy a 28c for me next Monday, a couple 29s elsewhere in Scotland. Hmmm…

[Scotland Weather discussion]

That ICON 12z is a scorcher and has more of a Western and Northern extent, 20c 850s flirting with Southern Scotland. Surely be pushing 30c with that set up, I’m sure this run won’t be missed by @Kirkcaldy Weather 

Great night for a BBQ

[Scotland Weather discussion]

A cracking summers day, 26c according to my thermometer. 

Haylage got turned today and now off to the beach with the dogs to cool off. GF is away paddleboarding, what a weekend.

Don’t need any hotter, next weekend is creeping up on the GFS (25-27c). Nothing like down south though

[Scotland Weather discussion]

As above, 24c a max. Gorgeous, perhaps a smidgen warmer tomorrow. 
 

July is turning into a cracker

Sun broke through in Dumfries 0905 this morning.  Distant fireworks heard a short time later.

Cracker of a day. 23c and very sunny.

Perfect summer temperatures, south of the border can keep their 30c temps next week

First wee stroll up a hill since Covid today. A few dry coughs but otherwise sound. Auchterhouse Hill, the second highest peak in the Sidlees. Forecast was mostly cloudy, coolish with showers but turned out to be warm sunshine most of the time so regretted taking the waterproofs. Max here was 19.6C but felt warmer.

How many days has that been since the start of your covid symptoms? A momentum killer exercise wise for sure.

Yesterday I decided to take on Helvellyn. Perhaps a bit foolish but quite a gradual climb actually, the ridges were good fun. I know it’s England but posting the pics.

Feels nice that my lungs are normal. A lot of wet weather recently but yesterday and today have seen some sunshine.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Today was a lovely day with it far less windy than of late (gales recently, unusually strong for June). 
 

Can’t say I can relate to the dryness. 41mm for the month so far with ‘20-30mm’ forecast for tomorrow as i’m on the edge of the yellow weather warning.

Average for the month is just over 80mm so I suppose the month will come in drier than average overall. Some heat would be nice as it’s been lacking.

Depends where you live of course. 

It is very Autumnal here this morning with worse to come next week.

The west coast of NI/Republic are certainly in for a bit of a battering. The forecast is bad enough for myself over the water from you. I guess it’ll even things up after the best weather of the summer so far

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Gorgeous day yesterday. 24c, managed a walk in a local forest despite covid making me feel 90 years old.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Yesterday improved and hit 19.5c. Nice evening in the lake district too (video)

Today is a cracker, 22c in bright sunshine.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Cracking photos in this thread last few days!

Awful day to be off nightshift. 20.7c as a max, gorgeous sunshine

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Lovely day, 18.7c as a max. V sunny afternoon and lots of people having their first BBQs of the year.

Have to agree with the above though, yet to breach 20c. That’s late for down here, shame as mid May to late June is typically my favourite time of the year. 

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Gorgeous blue skies, ‘only’ 17.5c but feels glorious in the strong sunshine. Slight breeze

My other outdoor thermometer which is exposed to the sun from 3pm is currently reading 24c so v pleasant in the sun.

Can’t help but feel sick to my stomach though ️ WATP

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Funny day today. Hit 17.5c in the bright spells earlier however fallen to 16c atm.

Cloudy and very humid, rain doesn’t feel far away

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Probably getting the best of the weather down here. 
Cloudier and cooler today but plenty of sunshine from about 10am, feeling pleasant at 12c in the strong sunshine. 
 

Need rain, ground getting hard.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Got 4 of the Munros in the Lawers range yesterday.
Weather was great to begin with but cloudy and exceptionally windy at the top of Ben Lawers (1200m/3900ft).

Wed and Thurs have been cracking down here touching 18c, out of the breeze it’s almost shorts weather. Today cloudier start but burning back now, I expect another 17/18c day. Lovely (I see it is not to last sadly)

Fine evening for run to meet train at Aviemore.Was 10c at home and fell to 6c over moor road. Cairngorms stiil have some very large patches of snow so it was  a wintry looking sunset there this evening. Ben Wyvis and mountains to west have even more snow left. Cooler nights on the way so it looks like it will last a bit longer.

I certainly hope to see at least a bit of snow tomorrow when I tackle a few of the munros in the Lawers range (including Ben Lawers) but we shall see as that sun is very strong.

 

A gorgeous day in the tropical south, an easterly is always wanted down here. Clear blue skies, wind is pretty minimal and temperatures of 17c so far. 

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Managed to get my fix of winter in Switzerland, perfectly timed. Snow when we arrived, snow when we left. Sunshine inbetween.

Genuinely feels colder over here (at the same temperature anyway), -10c over there was ‘chilly’ and was in a t-shirt in -1c due to the strength of the sun. Despite factor 50 got burnt haha

Base was 1800m and summit was 3500m

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Cracking day yesterday, car was saying 19c about 2pm. Have access to a thermometer today so can accurately gauge what we get to.

Cracking day for some hills yesterday, technically in NW England but still posting the photos

A month or two ago we'd have been jumping for joy at a chart like this, but now, especially after a week of warmth, not so much. Just in time for school Easter hols too. 

Cba with it and it’s nailed on with energy rising 54% from the first of next month…. Hopefully ensures my ski holiday has plenty snow so every cloud!
