I really hope September is hot and dry here. Haven't had a prolonged period of temperatures in the high twenties here in a long time!

Seems like zonal pattern to day ten.

Dry, sunny for the morning and early afternoon, some cloud edged in for the south around 3 with a mix of sun and sunny intervals until around 5, mostly sunny thereafter.
Temps 25c Coast, up to 29c inland.
Last of these days for a while, will they return this summer?
Second half of August I bet.

SE England has a comparatively wonderful climate to the rest of the UK (well at least to Wales and Scotland). I'm very jealous of the level of heat there!
-
Hate short, cold days. I wanna be outside all day in shorts and T-shirts, not have to wrap up or else shiver!

Peaked at 30c today in Northolt. Heathrow got to 29.2c.
Seems like the heat today wasn’t just a SE affair, many places in England and Wales have seen temps into the high 20s.
Can confirm. Recorded 27C here in SE Wales.

Last time we reached 30C in August was 2013. In fact, that's the only time it's reached 30C in August since 2005.
It's ridiculous when you consider that before 2007, August was the month that reached 30C most often in this area - 2005, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1999,1997,1996, 1995 all reached 30C at least once in August (2-4 in some i.e 1999, 2003, 1995). Some of those summers were unremarkable as well.
Also, its reached 30C more times in June since 2007 than in July or August here.
Pretty incredible really.
I have found that recent summers are front-loaded in terms of the good weather as the Atlantic ocean is cooler at the start of the season and hence has less energy to fuel weather systems/the jet sream. Later in the summer as the oceans warm the Atlantic has enough energy to barrel through any high pressure that forms over the UK.

Well it depends where you are. But, I’m talking about how it’s more depressing in september, because we are heading towards winter by that stage.
I still believe September is a summer month. Autumn only really begins shortly after the equinox when days are shorter than nights (despite this October can be very warm and pleasant, take 2011 as an example)

I'd say August is the best summer month. Summer only really ends on the equinox in my book. Something about the heat and the nights closing in reminds me of the Caribbean where the evenings are very short (i.e. sunset around 7PM)
-
Hate dark autumn days. My SAD starts and I just can't fathom how someone would want to wrap up outside instead of wearing shorts and T-shirts!

What a disgusting summer once again in Central Europe. Not to mention it began in April. Trees are still dying from 2015 drought and this will be another nail in the coffin for the already decimated forests. Groundwater levels are falling quickly and there are already talks of butchering livestock because there is no feed for them. The next week will be lovely with max. temps reaching 35-37C.
Extreme drought for three years in a row, ugh.
Send some of that heat my way in South Wales. Summer has been fairly average here.

Temperatures haven't been too extreme here in South Wales as of late. That might be set to change next week if this ensemble forecast for Cardiff is correct. Pleasant temperatures of 30°C with lovely cool nights in the mid to high teens:

Still looking like the first week of August will be the peak in terms of temperature away from the South East. This is the ensemble forecast for Cardiff for example:
-
I predict 18.9 degrees Celsius please

I find astronomical seasons better reflect the weather. For example, snow is much more likely after the December solstice rather than the 1st of December. In my eyes September has and always will be a summer month as mean temperatures are similar to that of June.
