That sounds like very definite language. I thought we weren't supposed to do that?

The chart thread is just people squabbling over when a breakdown might come, but it certainly seems likely that these hot, hot, HOT conditions are here until at least next Monday/Tuesday here in the South. The weekend, even with the promise of potential storms on Sunday, looks like humidity hell. Shall feel like boil in the bag rice!

Already 26 and raising here. Wasn't especially cool here last night - it got as low as 15 at 5am - but the humidity wasn't as bad - though that is going to change tomorrow apparently.

I wouldn't mind the warmth if it didn't have to come with the humidity being so high. Given we look to not be shifting that on the South coast for over a week, by the end of the week it's going to feel incredibly oppressive. That wont be pleasant and I shall simply never understand people who like humidity that gets and stays that high. Oh to have that pleasant start of June back with it's cooler Northerly air mass but still bright and warm sunshine. June really was the best month of the year, bit of something for everyone and never quite at the level of majorly uncomfortable.

Exactly. This is what I dont like. Humidity can't be escaped unless you have the tech, which I do not. Equally, having just run out to the shop, that sun is bloody warm even for this time of year. Already 25c here, with a feels like of 29c. People to the north, lucky you!

Not seeing any downgrading, seeing the opposite, the heat is now lasting for 10 days plus

The feels like temps arent a nice look, especially Wed into Thurs night with dew points around 20c in places. The sun may have a little less umph, but those are some warm set ups for humidity generated heat.

Looking like Jan/Feb next year. Might be longer, or could be shorter if someone above me dies and I get a cancellation spot...

Wait lists are the thing. So annoying, but I just plain refuse to pay for the same surgeon to do the job privately. I'll just wait and grumble!

I'd be happy with 24 too! Just with a nice breeze, not humidity. It's humidity I cant 'do' - a nice sunny day is always welcome!

To be fair, plenty of people here 'hope cast' and use cherry picked charts to find the outcome they'd most like, be them negative, positive or whatever - even more so this summer. That's the fun of the charts thread. See what models are thrown out, see people react, see what actually happens. As long as people arent making charts up or reading them wrong, it's fair game.

Stomach surgery, I had a near death experience back in May, totally out of the blue. Bit scary, but all fine in the end - well, hopefullly will be once I have the second part of the procedure done! Let's hope we both get done soon!

I shall depart post haste, as soon as you confirm your elope to Greece for super hot sun all summer long

Bit too Southerly for my liking. Some settled sunny days with a cooler breeze, like early June, would be my preference. Doesnt look like that set up is on the cards at all. Just humidity.

Looks like we're getting a heat blast to rub in the face of kids as they go back to school and people head back to work after summer hols. It's the worst kind of weather for me due to the humidity factor. I'd have enjoyed some sun and a cool breeze, but hot southern air is the killer for me. Hopefully it doesnt exacerbate my current health state too much pr last too long. At least I should have had my op and be back to normal before Summer rolls back round next year!

I think the problem we'll see with the plumey and settled weather is that it's coming with hot, stagnant air from the South. So the heat wont be coming from the sun as much as from the hot air and humid conditions. That's ALOT worse than just some late season sun because the evenings coming in sooner doesnt help with hot, wet air.

If the current charts come off, it's going to be a hot start back to school. I know we had some stats disproving it, but I fully remember September's when I was younger, in the late 90s, being warm, but charts suggesting 30+ for back to school doesnt feel normal, memories be damned!

I suspect it will downgrade from those highs once the systems get more of a hand of what the tropical storm front in America does after it's moves back into the Atlantic, but yeah, we're getting some sort of plume early next week and the heat will mainly be from humidity.

The charts are finding ways for a warm September to materialise, but just over the last couple of days, and despite the Hovmoller plots suggesting a string of lows ahead. Hovmoller has been pretty good this summer, but with all three of the main day to day systems finding some upcoming high pressure and warmth....something must be there. Potentially a high that builds, but then an undercutting low will pop up....can only hope!

Or setting people up for more disappointment. Hope casting based on some future runs that dont match other data is what's got us in to trouble time and again this summer

Be interesting to see if this holds up given how generally reliable these have been this summer.

This is the problem with summers like this one. Yes, it wasnt all that sunny, and people equate warm with sunny - but even when it was grey and raining and not at all sunny, it was far from cold. It was still pretty warm out there bar the odd couple of days mid July, it was just warm against a back drop of cloud and drizzle. So people will moan about it and some may try to say Global Warming isnt real/that bad..... Warmth doesnt need the sun to be visible, and a warming world is also likely to be a wetter and more humid world, especially for us. Heat still gets trapped in, even if the sun isnt out!

I'm really not seeing signs of anything more settled or summer like in the charts, just more of the same scatter that shows they aren't really sure what might come down on us, but at least the hope-casting keeps spirits up!

Too many oddities and combinations of things going on to accurately use historical history to forecast imo. Reckon winter may have some surprises to throw out this year.

This humid air doesnt seem to be going anywhere fast. There is always the chance the signal switches again, but certainly seems to be our turn to be disappointed by a changing chart outlook
