    Don't think we'll be beating the record in my area which stands at 35.2 at Hawarden and happens to be the Wales record don't think anywhere in Wales is getting close to that. Not sure why but we seem to struggle to breach the low thirties in Wales I do wonder what it would take to beat the record here which was set in 1990 but I would imagine it would involve somewhere in SE England breaching 40 degrees considering the usual difference between the two areas.  

    I wonder if the plumes recently tend to be further east therefore we miss on out on the milder air. Or secondly whether we need a specific wind direction which we aren't getting recently and whether there is some influence from the Irish Sea moderating temps as we don't have the same temperature swings having the warmest lowest maximum temperature of all 4 nations and our proximity in general of being near the sea has something to do with it. Would be interested to see if someone could weigh in on my musings perhaps :clap:

    Not overly hot again. Just look at the massive heat over the channel. North Sea heat killer in full effect.

    Although if you add a few degrees as usually the models tend to under do temps then the SE may be touching 30 and other areas may hit Mid 20s which could be pleasant provided the sun comes out otherwise temps will be suppressed I would imagine.

    Lots of petulance and childish mood swings on here now.  Hopefully peoples comments will improve in a while.   The south, especially with an easterly will be very pleasant regardless.

    The point is though a lot of people don't live in the south. For most people North of the South Midlands there is no significant warmth whatsoever only one warm day and then back to between 20-23 degrees which is pretty standard for the time of year. Also these weather types never benefit those up north as there tends to be a NW SE split. Sometimes out West we benefit more from easterlies as we are sheltered by the Pennines,Highlands and Snowdonia for example at the end of June 2018 West was best and all of the max temperatures were in locations like Hawarden,Rhyl,Lossiemouth and Aviemore. 

    So personally I can understand why some people are pretty miffed as this summer has been naff so far so they want to get as much out of August as possible to make up for it. 

    Anyway getting back on topic here is the GEM for Monday looks better than the UKMO imo bit more warmth lingering around but not brilliant either. Although should still be warm down south hopefully enough for some above average temps further north as well :oldgood:

    It’s still 23°C and it feels absolutely brilliant out there, so hot and humid, a perfect summers night. Just had  fireworks and a lovely celebration. I seem to be the only Lfc fan on here though so won’t start that. Hoping for some metaphorical fireworks tomorrow morning.

    probably going to sit in the garden all night because it’s so amazing and wait for something in a few hours.

    Don't worry mate you aren't the only Liverpool fan on here YNWA   Fingers crossed I usually go to bed at 4am so I'll be on the look out for some fireworks too  

    Although I'm more interested in tomorrow afternoon personally though maybe if we are lucky something will fire up overnight.

    It’s not that hilly or mountainous where I am either. It looked amazing! 
     

    Apparently they can form if the air comes into contact with buildings/structures as well but I believe it's most common to see them in those areas. Anyway to stop the topic from veering off. If we don't get any elevated storms today then tomorrow afternoon looks pretty good for potentially Surface Based storms based upon the forecasts I've seen.

    Although I'm being selfish and talking from an IMBY perspective so I hope everyone who missed out during the last thundery spell gets some action this time :oldgrin:

    I was just reading back through the thread, this was the cloud that passed over Gresford just before the wind, rain, and hail hit on Sunday afternoon. As usual the Gresford storm defenses were in position so we didn't get the full force of the thunder and lightning, but it did rumble on for ages.

    Yeah was pretty wild inside it with gusty winds and torrential hail being blown against the windows. Wasn't much lightning to be seen think most of it was IC lightning. But lots of loud rumbles to be heard at least. 

    No storms yesterday although the sunset last night made up for it. Will upload some photos from my DSLR later of it to the gallery and appropriate threads.
