The trend is your friend as they say….ECM 00z pressure ensemble.

Looks a bit messy on the 00z runs with lower heights in and around the UK next week taking their time to clear. While not a full on low pressure fest, the chance of showers or longer spells of rain in many areas, especially the north and west. Ireland gets slammed on the ECM run, very little rain in the SE. ECM starting to settle down at the end, but with building Greenland heights too.

AO falling negative could have implications, though much to be decided on that front. Extended EPS keeping it settled on latest forecasts.

Honestly don’t think there’s too much concern at the moment. Latest NOAA update today has low pressure held out west with high pressure to our east. Tends to favour it staying warm and dry on the whole - western areas always at more risk of frontal incursions.

Yep it’s from that frame - so is France in that shot. ECM 240….revenge for the east

Blimey, it’s 28 degrees not 50! Each to their own though.

Good....get that North Sea warmed up! Turn off the clag machine please, we had enough of that a couple of weeks back.

Humidity is 30-35% today. Air is very dry, not soupy at all!

Definitely not this time....a couple of weeks ago when it was 13c across a large swathe of the east while it was 23c in the west, then certainly. But when it's 28c in the east and 28-30c in the west, then it's just belting everywhere!

Woodvale in the NW and Exeter in the SW both reporting 29c....come on, one of these stations has to do it!

Looks absolutely stunning. Enjoy!

Think they are all bad at it. Just seen Darren Bett saying today will see 27-28c maxima....when we've already reached 28c in multiple locations by midday. It's clearly a 29/30c day, so why not show it? I know MeteoGroup worship the ECM, but if you go off that for today it shows 26c as the max here - we've already reached 28c by midday. So it's just wrong.

This pattern wouldn't need much shifting east for the UK to be under 15-20c 850s....if it was a touch more like the anomaly chart with the high to our east then it'd be a direct hit. Certainly one to watch. The air over Spain and Portugal is ridiculously hot with 28/29c 850hpa. With maxes at 44-45c, these are probably at record breaking levels in places for June, and perhaps all time.

Favoured spots for 30c are down towards the SW (and perhaps the NW too) where the higher 850 temps are holding on. Slightly cooler 850s from the E/NE are encroaching here, which means maxima in eastern areas are likely to peak in the next hour or two while western areas continue to climb into the mid afternoon, with the highest temps around 1-4pm.

27c at Cambridge, Prestwick, Topcliffe, Exeter and Lakenheath at 11am.....3c to break the curse. I think somewhere will do it, but only by 0.5c or less.

Brief unsettled periods happen in all summers....it doesn't mean that it's a full on change. If it's just handful of days before a reload then it's no pattern change. I think the rest of June is going to be pretty good on the whole, and after a slow start for some, it'll end up well above average and one to remember. Abundant sunshine for a lot of people, very dry for some, bursts of heat, a notable early 32c, some epic storms, and perhaps most importantly....if it gets rid of the June 13th jinx today then it'll be long celebrated! It's ticked most boxes.

It’s like Southend, but better and without half of East London there

Not sure where all of this talk of change to an unsettled regime is coming from? Thats the latest NOAA and ECM out to end of the month. What part of that is really unsettled?

I usually feel this way, but I don’t think the unsettled blip will turn into a full on rain fest this time. Most of the models show a ridge over Western Europe again by day 10…ecm update last night for the next 3 weeks also looks good. In short…no signs in any modelling of an impending washout.

Managed to squeeze 29c out of today, sun just about holding on. An impressive run of maxima here - 31c, 31c, 29c over the last 3 days. Not to be sneezed at.

Count yourself lucky! A couple of weeks ago we had 13c and slate grey skies here, I'd have snapped your hand off for 22c! A humid 28c with the sun probably gone within the next half an hour, to be replaced with cloud and chance of rain. At least we got half a decent hot day in before the grot arrives.

Up to 26c here, but cloud rapidly approaching....might be an early max before a drop off. NW probably best today.

I dare say it'll be difficult to plan any forecast for this summer with confidence going off North Atlantic SST anomalies....off the scale and a long way warmer than anything in the last 40 years.

The evidence seems overwhelming to me, if people who say we aren't to blame and that it is natural cycles....then where does all of our emissions go? There is always a trade off/payback, and our constant burning of fossil fuels can't just be going along nicely with no consequences. It's just massively ramped up with the population explosion and industrialisation of a much larger percentage of the Earth in the last 40 years that has accelerated this.
