Warm/hot Spell Discussion 22nd May Onwards

[weatherobsuk]

Hiked 24 miles along the Gritstone Trail yesterday. The heat was evident in the more urban areas outside of the Cheshire Ridge and I completely used up all 2 liters of water going from Kidsgrove to Macc. No idea of the max temp but in the wind things cooled down quickly enough for brief respites.

23.0C, sunny, breezy, hot!

[Liam J]

Overnight low was 15.3c, currently 23.2c with a lovely breeze. Not quite on a par with yesterday but very nice indeed

Yesterday was the hottest day I've recorded since my station was set up in October 2007, with a max of 27.5C. It was pretty hazy for the first part of the day and very humid - dew point hovering around 20C until about 1:30pm!

Then it became clearer with better visibility (but still very warm/hot) with the dew point dropping which continued to happen in the evening.

This morning is crystal clear with strong sunshine and a nice breeze. Temp not so high today due to a slightly more ESE breeze so the channel has more influence. Currently 22.6C (max so far 23.1C) with a dew point of 10.1C.

Temperature rising like a bullet. 23.5C in the shade, and we're on for 29C today. Gotta beat yesterday, if we don't, once more chance tomorrow.

[Liam J]

St Bees Head already up to 25c @ 11am.

[Backtrack]

Somewhere in the West may hit 30C today I would of thought Liam. The breeze is doing nothing to the temperature, as it's from the East.

[Costa Del Fal]

Very warm and sunny here. GFS creates a very cool picture mid next week onwards though if mostly dry.

GFS goes against the Met Office's outlook, which although is more favourable of showers, it highlights that temperatures will be average. (17C ish) and thereafter, a warm, sunny weekend.

Yes BT thats certainly a possibilty. Areas to the west of the region will do very well again as the wind is offshore blowing over a nice warm land, no modification from the Irish Sea. I'm going for 28/29c for some coastal locations here in the NW... Insane!

i think st bees will break the 27.7c record it set yesterday if its 25c already.

[Backtrack]

24.1C, this is amazing.

I just don't know if the heat source is there to get 30C, it's possible but unusual to get 30C from a direct easterly I think. Would love to see it happen though!

Going to be warmer than yesterday, that's a certainty now. Fortunately, the East has been hotter than us all last week, so this is creating a near foehn-effect for the NW. Can't see our region being bettered in terms of temperatures today.

Almost 29C yesterday in the NW from a stronger wind, today winds slightly lighter, and already ahead of yesterday's temperature. I would love to see 30C somewhere today, although I think it'll be recorded unofficially, if at all.

[Bottesford]

Glorious day and so lovely to be outside enjoying it! Afternoon of sunshine drinking ahead!

[A Winter's Tale]

Kinlochewe is already at 26.4C!!!!

[I remember Atlantic 252]

wind more SE today, very windy but not coming through my NW facing window, 21.9C now

[Terminal Moraine]

Unlike yesterday which was completely cloudless we have some St fractus and Cu humilis development today, enough for a few seconds interruption to the sunshine.

A sign of slightly more moisture in the atmosphere perhaps.

90C in Lerwick according to Metoffice observations!

[A Winter's Tale]

Enough to make your blood boil?

Totally cloudless here still, it's blue as far as you can see! Fantastic visibility as well as being very warm.

[Backtrack]

First couple of clouds I've seen in a while appearing here. Only tiny though.

Off to Anglesey now, and we're just short of 26C
