Two intense European heatwaves in the past month All-time records broken in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. Month records for June and July broken in UK, Poland, Czech Republic and more. With climate change, this is expected to become the new normal. Imagine...

What is the all time temperature record ?
I’m hoping it won’t be broken today or for a long time to come if I’m being honest.

There’s already some beefy looking clouds & convection heading up from france, hopefully we’ll get a layer of cloud before the temperature gets too high

I am neither fella. You were raining on lightning lovers parade with your initial post after his and i took umbridge to it. We can in here be allowed to express our excitement at records being broken. I work in central london and have melted over the last 2 days but its still exciting for some.
And please dont call me ignorant. I chose to mention a couple of things. Not saying this is a freak event but to see this level of heat is unprecedented like it or not. The record may not go but the charts have increased the heat over the last couple of runs. Coming in at 40 degrees. Never have i seen that. In my 20 years of weather watching.
As was said before look after your elderly and vulnerable peeps its gonna get hot. Peace Out (drops the mike as he walks out)
Jimmy jimmy jimmy.....if having your own opinion and having preferences for certain weather types is raining on someone’s parade then I’m guilty. As I remember it I simply asked Lightning lover a question and you jumped in on it and showed your immaturity by deliberately getting my name wrong !! Yourself and another couple of posters need to accept that other people on here can disagree with you without reprisal or being accused of raining on one's parade. I can go back into old posts and find plenty of occasions where poor old Wimbledon has been slated on here for his weather preference by the very people making this argument. I suggest you and your henchmen block posters you don’t like to read and kindly let others enjoy their own weather type without being accused of being a killjoy. I’ll just add that thankfully Paul deleted some of the comments regarding climate change yesterday that could well cause offence to people. Hopefully we can all enjoy the storms and move on

Wow that looks like it’ll be a giant sauna tomorrow!
I’ve told the clients we won’t be on site tomorrow as it would be too dangerous to work at height in those conditions. Don’t get me wrong, extreme heats ok if your sat in an air conditioned office or walking around in flip flops and shorts but in my line of work I’d rather it didn’t happen.

Try walking outside at 3pm tomorrow. The contrast between your air conditioned environment and outdoors will be amazing!
Haha try working on a grade 1 listed Abbey roof today with full scaffold and plastic protection. Tomorrow will be interesting. Ignore the time on the clock, this was taken at about 1:30 pm.

it is quite interesting in here when there differing views of excitement or trepidation. i think Trotski and dont take this the wrong way. this type of weather is unheard of here. the last really high temperature was 2003. i would love to see records broken, we are weather enthusiasts, this is why we are on here discussing it.
Poor souls cant have a true understanding on global warming, and as this is a short term mega heatwave. Explain what the difference is for storms with wind at 75mph or freezing weather that is -18 in the home counties. its a weather extreme. dont disagree on global warming but dont rain on peoples excitement.
Mate if you don’t understand what the difference is between worldwide high temperature records toppling and a freak weather event your either ignorant or poorly educated on climate change.
40 degrees, that’s great. What next I wonder.
Also I love extremes cold & heat so obviously don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade as it is weather forum after all. Just very concerning, that was my initial point.

Genuinely incredible forecast!!! BRING IT ON!!!
Genuine question so please don’t be offended.
Does it concern you at all that we’re destroying our environment and this is a direct response of it ? When I see charts like this all I feel is shame and fear for the future.

Had a few big cracks of thunder in the night and 5 mins of heavy rain, unfortunately didn’t really freshen anything up.

Hard to believe posters on the MAD thread hoping we get to the 40’s on Thursday. This weather is completely worthless when you’ve gotta do a full days work in it, roll on winter with overcast skies and 13 degrees

UK households in the home counties and areas north of London:
Yesterday = “Yeah we’re having a heatwave”
Today = “maybe not”
Let’s hope for the later

I have to say it’s an absolute pleasure to work out Side at the moment, a couple of warm days in high teens or low twenties and then a bit of rain to water the garden. Europe can keep their heatwave. More of the same please

Some much needed rain for the south east today, no where near enough to get us back to normal levels but better than nothing.

Lucky you. My area got a soaking most of the day Saturday courtesy of a rain shower that stayed overhead for 5 hours.
Thankfully yesterday and today has been dry. Chance for the ground to dry out.
You must have your own micro climate Ben I’m only down the road to you and it’s bone dry, has been for weeks.

Took my boys to the local wildlife park today and was shocked to see 2 out of 3 wild life ponds completely dried up and the 3rd pond a tiny amount of water in. These are not small ponds but very large and normally this time of year would be full of wildlife. Anyone who says we’re not short of rainfall is frankly talking out their backside.

Dare I say it but wasn’t yesterday just one of the worst days ? I appreciate some people like extreme heat but the majority of people yesterday seemed to be hating every minute of it and I didn’t see much enjoyment like you would with a snow day. Don’t get me wrong the evening was nice in the garden having drinks with friends but the heat during the day wasn’t enjoyable one little bit. I’m really hoping we don’t get a repeat any time soon.
