Oh 19 degrees. How terrible?!
19c? never got anywhere close to that. would have been more effective to have someone blow on you.

Actually whilst temperatures by day will reach the mid to high twenties widely the overnight lows are actually quite cool.
Monday morning
Single figures quite widely outside of the large urban centres. Contrast this with a highs widely into the mid-twenties by mid-afternoon (27/28C would be reached somewhere).
Tuesday
Again nothing particularly humid here with high single figures/low teens, again highs into the mid twenties and possibly higher in favoured spots.
If the high orientates itself favourably then the hest and humidty could increae but for the start of next week it is lots of sunshine, a little fair weather cloud and temperatures into the very warm category countrywide with the nights still having a little bit of a chill. Perfect really and in the semi-reliable nothing particularly overbearing.
Well thats good if they've lowered, but the 6z (which is what my comment was based on) had 2am temps of 19c most of next week.
Edit: 12z still shows 2am temps at 19c.

Looks like normal summer fayre to be honest. South east of a line from Bristol to the Wash,pretty damn good,sunny and very warm,north and north-west of that line,very mediocre,damp and drizzly with the odd heavier burst I would imagine. Average summer weather,nought to get excited about.
the meto show a wide spectrum of weather occurring in the same space that the models are projecting locked in heat. don't know whose backsides they're pulling that from. likely the same one that claimed may would be below average. useless they are.

Yes exactly, dp of 12c with a 30c temperature isnt oppressive really. It’ll hopefully be a nice dry heat with no instability for a while, so we don’t all have to suffer!
say that when the overnight temps stay at 19c as per the GFS outputs.

got a personal space cooler for just over 30 quid. Put some chilled water from the fridge into it, and maybe some ice.
I'm good to go, the humid muggy crap, got nothing on me now
tried one once. absolutely pathetic in terms of any "coolness" it generated.

The summers here are frequently dull, miserable and depressing. It's not often we get proper summer heat and sunshine. We are an island in the Atlantic where the weather is extremely varied, sometimes very wet in the summer, sometimes very dry and occasionally very hot. If you don't like the varied UK climate (which unfortunately for you includes summer heatwaves) then I would recommend that you have contingency plans in the summer months to combat the odd occasional heatwave we are always likely to be susceptible to. Fortunately for you, unlike the majority of Europe, the UK is often affected by the jet stream which often dictates the summer with little sun and surpressed temperatures including a lot of rain.
If the summer in this country makes life too miserable for you, then instead of moaning about it on a weather forum, I would suggest you invest your time and money perhaps relocating to the Highlands of Scotland, or investing in an air conditioning system to keep you cool during our (infrequent) hot weather. Plan holidays at work during summer months so you dont have to work when hot weather is most likely. Persistent moaning on a weather forum is not going to change things. The weather will do what the weather will do and unfortunately cannot be controlled. Perhaps instead of being cooped up indoors during hot weather moaning behind a laptop that you actually go out and enjoy the weather. Shorts, flip flops and a vest top normally suffices.
ENJOY!
lol by that logic I could tell you to move to the states. There, you'll get heat, cold and storms guaranteed. save you begging for conditions that this country isn't set up to cope with.

This is more like it
Shame it's at 324 hrs
isn't it always? There is support from the ens to kill it next weekend though. Relative to the muck we'll have to suffer through the working week anyway.

Not if you move to San Francisco
That place is often cooler than we are in the summer. seems to have its own microclimate.

That's why you don't see many from down here bleating on endlessly about heat,humidity etc.Bloody awful in London when it gets hot. No escaping it.
Roll on September I say.
If a member by the name of slush-man starts posting on here soon, you know its me. I'd have melted.
Seriously though, this country is not set up at ANY level for conditions into the 30s. This isn't the US/Canada where you can either get home aircon or duck into an aircon'd building. In the UK, there's no escape. People will suffer from this. Even though the "enthusiasts" couldn't give a monkey's.

It’s been a reasonable Summer so far. Not too much in the way of rain (bar those thundery downpours some places in the Midlands had), despite the Atlantic having been quite influential recently. Though, to be fair, the worst of the unsettled whether always looked more likely in the North-West. There is a chance of some showers and/or longer spells of rain later tomorrow and into Wednesday for places, as a disturbance creeps in from the West, especially for Northern areas.
Today, however, had been mostly bright and sunny here, but cloud became more invasive later on in the day (still cloudy at the moment with stratus-like cloud)
Certainly nice to see High Pressure coming in for revenge later on in the week stamping-out the Atlantic. Overall, High Pressure seems to have had greater power over the Atlantic in the last few weeks or so. And is possible the same could happen again. The difference is the Azores High doesn’t look like it will get as far North as it did last time with a U.K/Southern U.K based high seeming more likely.
Heat is heat it seems. It really makes me laugh when people in this country think its easier to get cold into here than heat. Its very much the other way around. Took a monumental event to produce a 3 day deep cold spell last winter. yet, we seem to be dragging in warm muck over and over again.

The thought of working in heatwave conditions makes me feel sick. No aircon, it's horrendous.
Its a case of deaf ears, CC. They won't be happy unless we're dripping like a pot roast.

Wow, people want summery weather in, er, summer. Shockingly selfish, especially when the weather is so crap here most of the time.
When they want oppressive conditions it is. people commuting for work in the underground, cramped into hot and humid trains. people who don't have the luxury of working in aircon'd offices?
"summery" for the UK is high teens to lower mid-twenties, this isn't cannes.

Good to know the selfishness runs right through the year on here and not just the winter rabble.

Didn't think the ECM could get any worse, but my god, it has...
Nothing against warmth (believe it or not) but that chart would top 30c if it verifies. Absolutely disgusting. I feel sick just thinking about it.

What's new there then ,I've seen Cheshire at 27 c and then on to ulverston at 19 c
liverpool is usually the boundary line. north of it can get away with the worst, south of it will suffer. The ECM though has that boundary much further north.

It looks a north-south divide to me, draw a line from Cheshire to Humber, south of it, very good, north of it - very average. Cumbria alot worse though than rest of NW , another line from Morecambe Bay to Northumberland - the bit inbetween the transition zone.
south of humber very good? Just where I fall into then...
Not sure about your analysis on the MAD thread though. The ECM would certainly be a lock-in pattern. A high slapped right over the UK sealing everything off, so no reprieves
