We had a little rain today ( technically yesterday, but I am up late) and it did very little to dampen down the dustbowl patches in the garden. We have a 1yr old Bernese Mountain dog who loves to run up and down the garden: she has worn away the grass on her route and for the past few weeks our conservatory has just been collecting soil dust daily . Really need some proper rain to help the grass along now.

1 hour ago, i luv snow said:
As a pom in Sydney, you’d be surprised how cool high twenties can feel after temps of 40+
I can agree wholeheartedly: coming into my house (26C) from outside (37.5C) I enjoy a similiar sensation as when you walk into aircon or open a fridge. Never would I have thought 26C could feel so cool and welcoming!

I work at Heathrow. If it reaches 40 I'm going outside to soak it in. I may seem weird, but I don't care haha. Life is all about experiences no matter how small.
Weird, no. If it wasn't so hot (and risky) I'd go on a heat chase to experience it - and I'm only a few degrees off at 37.4C

2 minutes ago, kold weather said:
35.4c here 5 mins ago, but cloud cover came over and temp has dropped yo 34.8c.
Temperature probably 1c too high at this station but can only compare like with like.
Record is 35.5...so yeah. One more blast of sunshine might do it.
Not so far from you Kold (Fleet) and had the same experience a short while ago. Now however creeping back up and have hit my first marker of 35.4C.
Indoors a cool 25.7C

My station in the garden is reading 34.5C. We'd hit 30C by 11am.
Just wow!

For those concerned about the cloud, there is a great post from Tamara on the model discussion which should allay any fears.

Apologies to mods for being a bit off topic but I just want to say a huge thank you to all the knowledgeable posters who have been giving their insights and sharing their wisdom over the past couple of weeks. I have learned so much and feel I have been part of something very, very special as we approach this historic meteorological event.
Am now in bed, three electric fans on the go and a cold, wet sheet hanging in front of the opened bedroom windows. It's not just the heat keeping me awake though: I feel like a kid at Christmas waiting for this plume to make its presence felt.
So thank you to all contributors, drink plenty of water, keep cool and stay safe.

In bed surrounded by 3 electric fans. And my top tip for anyone struggling with warm bedrooms is to hang a cold wet sheet in front of an open window: it really does help cool the air down. Just remember to close it again when you wake up to keep the hot air at bay.
Sleep well all.

Niece just reporting rain in Southampton...am so envious!

Just gone past 30C (30.3C and rising). 2 degrees above MetO forecast. Skies were milky but clearing a lot now and plenty of blue around in NE Hants.
And already I am indoors where it is cool

My garden based weather station is reporting 29.8 - rural site. MetO forecast 28C max.

I am heading to Southampton late afternoon so fingers crossed some South Coast activity is available tonight. Currently dreary milky grey skies here in NE Hants: just had about 30 mins of light drizzle.
