Warm/hot Spell Discussion 22nd May Onwards

[Polarlow]

Very Hot here on the east coast of Scotland today. I dont know what the temps. were, but it was wall to wall blue sky with a very light breeze, all day.

Pic taken at 6:30pm on the Old course at St.Andrews today ....

16.5c here with clear sunny skies and calm winds. Overnight low 14.1c. Last of the really warm days today as we see a gradual cool down this week.

[Weather-history]

Today under normal circumstances, would have been a bank holiday and it would be one of the hottest for some time. The weather must have a sense of irony!

Yeah I was just thinking the same - this would have been a perfect bank holiday. Instead its looking comparatively naff next week with much cooler air around. Be ok if we get plenty of sunshine but not it'll be pretty grim for getting the bbq out.

[Coast]

Looks like a thundery breakdown is coming for London and the Home Counties up into the Pennines!

[Backtrack]

24.1C, too hot already. No wind, although the sun is hazy every now and then.

[Derp Patrol]

another warm and sunny day.. looks like it won't cool down here till Thursday at least... lows still in the 14-17C range and highs in the 22-27 range

[Summer Sun]

Upto 22.8°C now, still around 4 hours till the temperatures peak.

[Methuselah]

25.5 here, now. Could be about to break the cap?

[Cheese Rice]

25.1c here.

One of the warmest places in the UK by the looks of it.

Max so for of this spell has been 26.7c achieved on the 23rd, last few days have maxed between 23/24 due to the cooler breeze from the east.

[SunnySouthCoast]

It's 24C here after a minimum of 16C, we may squeeze one more warm & sunny day out down here tomorrow, before things cool down from Wednesday onwards.

[leehws]

22.7C here at the moment. Not as warm today due to a sea breeze.

Another brilliant day out there - what a shame today wasn't the bank holiday!

24.5c so far beating the whole weekend already. Sadly the last proper warm day for a while - I just hope next weekend will at least be worthy of an afternoon bbq even if not an evening one.

[Terminal Moraine]

Some Ac floccus developing and drifting in from the south. No sign of any Cu development yet and with much less breeze than on recent days it does feel seriously hot

[SunnySouthCoast]

[Deluxe]

24c here according to my desktop widget. Sounds roughly right - it is lovely out there!

[Methuselah]

Same here, Gav. But, to some extent, I'm adjusting my temp down a tad, to account for a bit of back-radiation off cumulus clouds...

[Aaron]

Now 27.0C.. plenty of cumulus developing
