[European Heatwave]

45c lol. Now that would take some doing! Would be like a 1/200,000 chance of it occurring I'd say though.

Sea temps would need to be high enough, uppers would need to be 20c plus for a few days at least and wind direction would need to be slack and continuously S/SE.

 

 

 you'd think after the freezing cold June and that constant NW'ly one would never have known in just a few days time we'd be taking a swipe at the record 38.5C.

you guys forgot already the 2 very hot summers that just past the previous 2 years?

 

also I am really interested in why people want 40C temperatures? it just makes everything miserable, death risk, sweat etc.

 

Heatwaves are infact bad weather, yet people get excited when ones forecast, they think "wow sun, barbecues & ice cream". They don't realise the unbearable humidity that comes with them.  

 

I would love to see 40C reached here, if im not going to prepare for it when its forecast then thats my own fault nobody elses.

- Average about 3 days a year of 30C, not sure about Anglia but definatly SE gets 3i0C every year whilst Manchester about once every 3 years.

 

- Upto 35C can be reached without anything drawn in off Europe depending on Wind, Cloud and importantly how dry the air is.

 

- About 50% models predictions are correct

Ive heard Europe is heading towards a severe heatwave this summer similar to 2003.  Can anyone confirm if its true or not.   thanks
