    No, it certianly wasn't 24c here. It may have touched 21c for a short while but that's about it. Bear in mind that Cambridge is more congested and might have had slightly less cloud.

    I couldn't agree more. Unless someone can tell me otherwise, I think this has the potential to be the most potent plume the UK has ever witnessed. Certainly on upper air temps alone. Many charts are still showing the 25c isothern making it to us, and nearly all, the 20c. I know for a fact the 25c isothern has never touched the UK, not even close. The 20c? Not sure, but doubt it. Now obviosuly upper air temps aren't everything and there are many factors, wind speed/direction, soil temps, sunshine amount etc etc.

    But you have to say that if this plume does not threaten the June record then it has been spectacularly underwhelming and a massive underperformer. You should be hitting mid thirties at the very least.

    I dare say that if this is the case, we may wait for a long long time before we see upper air like this again.

    We've had the 20C isotherm in a few times, I believe in 2003 and possibly more recently than that.

    Ecm, Gem, Icon, Navgem and ARPEGE all in full agreement. Going on percentages, that ounumbers GFS by 84%.

    I really would love to know why people are so fixated by the GFS and are totally oblivious or sceptical as to  what all the others are showing.

    I assume it's because it appears to be the most known, easiest to access and quite basic.

     

    - That's the last I'm saying on the matter, so that things don't get way off topic.

    The GEFS mean agrees with it.

    It may do, but I believe in Winter at some point the GFS was showing us an easterly pattern, and had the backing of the GEFS and it never materialised. My point was mainly directed at people who only seem to care about the GFS and its output. UKMO & ECM look just fine to me. I still believe the surface temperatures being shown currently are just plain wrong.
