First 20c, 25c And 30c Of The Year

[Milhouse]

Its that time of year again when we start thinking what the coming Spring and Summer have in store for us. The first 20c, 25c and 30c are quite notable milestones to be reached so when (you can guess the location as well) do you think they will occur. Will be fun to see who ends up closest.

20c April 3rd Chevinor, Devon

25c May 16th Lakenheath

30c May 30th Gravesend

[Derp Patrol]

Last year we got 25C in early April and were close to 30C a few times in April as well!

I'm going to go for:

20c March 28th

25c May 2nd

30c May 25th

35c July 18th

[Backtrack]

20C - April 9th, Hawarden

25C - May 1st - Doncaster

30C - June 15th - Gravesend

35C - July 20th - Gravesend

40C - July 21st - Gravesend

Record breaking summer this year, hopefully.

20C - March

25C - May

30C - July

35C+ - N/A

[Aaron]

20C - April

25C - May

30C - July

35C - no chance

[Isolated Frost]

20c - 28th March (Herstmonceux)

25c - 13th May (Lakenheath)

30c - 2nd June (Gravesend)

Warmest temp 34c - 18th July (Gravesend, Central London)

[Milhouse]

Looking at the models i wouldnt rule out 20c being reached mid month. The ECM 0z in FI would definately put us in with a chance with 10c uppers threatening our shores.

[Summer Sun]

I think somewhere will see 20c quite easy this month,

20c - March

25c - April

30c - June

Maximium temp - 41c - In a Summer heatwave.

[Stargazer]

Here goes...

20C - April 14, Gravesend

25C - May 22, Gravesend

30C - June 25, Wisley

Don't think we'll reach 35 this year anywhere.

[Alex95]

20C - 19th April

25C - 22nd May

30C - 9th July

Max temp - 31C, 10th July

I sense another poor summer.

[Jack Wales]

20C - Early June

25C - End of August

30C - Unlikely

[DiagonalRedLine]

I agree with some others of their being a possibility of 20*C being reached in March. Then...

25*C - April 15th at 2:05pm

30*C - June 5th at 12:01pm

[Scorcher]

20C - Early June

25C - End of August

30C - Unlikely

When was the last time 30C wasn't reached anywhere? Even in the poorest summers somewhere seems to scrape 30C.

about 20 years ago I think.. that's true.. even in the awful 2007 we managed 30C. It's usually places in the south east that reach it in poorer summers though as the atlantic has less influence there.

[mulzy]

20C - early April - somewhere in London / SE

25C - late April - somewhere in London / SE

30C - late June - somewhere in London / SE

35C - not happening this year

Highest temperature 33.5C - somewhere in London / SE - mid July

[Big Bird]

OK, I think it will be:

20C - April 8th (yes, I foresee another beautiful, warm and sunny Easter Sunday in store!)

25C - May 22nd

30C - June 6th

35C - July 2nd (I think that that date will bring us the highest temperatures of the year and a huge outbreak of thunderstorms towards the evening )

[Evening thunder]

20C - Early June

25C - End of August

30C - Unlikely

Has it ever happened that there has been no 25C in the UK until late August?

Edit: or were you thinking of your own location?

For my area ( Orly Airport near Paris and not Paris as usually 1c above)

20c : 25th March

25c : 27th April

30c : 15th june

35c : Somewhere early July.

Not unusual to see 20c late march here .

Last few yeas we have been used to first 25c in April like 2007 then 2008 a near miss at 24.7c then 2010 and 2011 so 3 in a row????

30c : all june months have seen a 30c plus since 2001 exept 2008.( did not checked if 30c hapenned earlier than june)

35c has been reached last year that is 2011 and in 2009 ,2006 , 2003 and 2002 then near miss in 2010 and 2005 2004 and 2001 ( 1c or less 2001 for a tiny 0.1c!!!!)

So it is not so unusual

Ps Paris Station is a bit warmer than Orly Airport so probably 35c been reached more years than Orly.

[Scorcher]

I'm convinced that we will see 20c before the end of March in the UK this year. Therefore:

20C: March 22nd

25C: May 3rd

30C: June 9th

20C March 31st

25C April 20th

30C June 23rd

Top temperature 31.5C August 8th

The last couple of years have seen our warmest max occur outside of the summer season. In 2010 we saw our highest max in May and in 2011 I think late sept produced our highest max or at least equal highest max of 26 degrees - we might have seen one or two other days with similiar maxes at some point in July.

We haven't managed 30 degrees since July 2006. Summer 2010 never saw us manage 25 degrees. Indeed the last five summers have seen very few days topping 24 degrees - preety poor it has to be said. Mind I'm not a lover of the heat and 24 degrees is a very respectable temp.

We tend to see our first 20 degrees by mid May. Northeasterlies and easterlies in April and May can produce temps in low 20's when we see 'fohn' type effects.

25 degrees normally in an average summer by mid July. 30 degrees is not easily achieved here - our highest max tends to be around 27 or 28 degrees in an average summer.

I'm really surprised as the southeast reached 33c even in the realms of last years awful summer at the end of June. I was thinking the Rest of the country would of had some warmth from this spell?

My predictions are

20c March

25c April

30c June

35c July

[stewfox]

who won last year ??

20c March 27th

25c May 2nd

30c July 8th

Top temp 33.2 Heathrow July 8th

[Backtrack]

Never experienced more intense heat than the 30C in August 2006.

It was lovely.

Hopefully a repeat.

A summer of plenty of storms, and intense heat please.
