Oh well it look like the hot spell is upon us, more hot sleepless humid nights, horrible. But today is POETS day and I will be carrying on that tradition after going to Harlow today, can't imagine what the Dartford bridge will be like this afternoon, should be horrendous. Today is rather a grey start with mottly lighter streaker bits and dead calm.

Hope everyone has a great POETS day and I hope that I manage to do my 33 miles trip in less 21/2 hours in took last Friday.

[Summer of 76]

Morning everyone, nice sunny start and looks set to be a warm one, best of luck CK hope you have a good drive home.

Morning!!!!!!

 

Some lovely scenes there Martin and I think the Summer has really got going in Sussex this morning. A beautiful start to what I hope will be a memorable period of weather in our region.

 

Very foggy coming out of work yesterday afternoon and I wasn't sure if the warm and sunny spell had been delayed. But luckily things lifted soon after and it was very pleasant indeed.

 

So much to cram in this weekend, I hope the weather is the kind you are looking for

[Coast]

The last remnants of cloud seem to be scuttling off East now as a lovely big high squashes down on us and bring the Summer:

 

 

 

The high builds slightly through the day and look at tomorrow!

 

stupid question!

A 2 inch clawed thing just flew passed my face in the garden!

do stag beetles fly i have never actually seen one?

 

A may bug?

London weather: Better later than never ... heatwave to hit the capital

London is set to bask in a heatwave after forecasters announced what people have longed to hear for months: “Sunshine and blue skies every day.â€

It may sound too good to be true, but weather experts are predicting this weekend will be the hottest of the year so far - and that the warm spell could stay for at least a fortnight. Temperatures were forecast to hit 22C (72F) today, rise to 26C tomorrow (79F) and climb even higher on Saturday and Sunday. And the Met Office said temperatures would stay in the “mid to high twenties†next week,

The forecast sets things up for the hottest July for seven years and is a far cry from last July, when many parts of the UK suffered twice the normal rainfall, flash flods and cool temperatures. Met Office forecaster Charles Powell said: “It’s certainly been a long time coming. “There’s going to be some pretty decent weather and there will be a good deal of sunshine and blue skies every day. “From tomorrow onwards there will be much more in the way of sunshine and much less in the way of cloud. “At the weekend, there will be a good deal of dry and bright weather and it will feel much more summery.â€

The month-long forecast is more uncertain but some forecasters say the heatwave could last until August. The last time London and the South East had such a prolonged sunny spell was in July 2006, the hottest month since records began in 1914, when the mercury hit 36.5C (97.7F) in Wisley, Surrey. The UK record is 38.5C (101.3F) in Faversham, Kent, on August 10, 2003. The forecast comes despite predictions of soggy British summers for the next decade.

Morning all,

 

Glorious start to the day and the weekend here - it's going to be a good one all round I think, the sunshine will just be the icing on the cake 

[Keraunic]

Morning each. Beautiful start to the day. Already lovely and warm and sunny and my app says 64f. Just a few clouds and a bit hazy but it looks extremely promising.

Oh.....and no snow. I see the snow indicator has gone. It must've been a fault.

Have a fabulous POETS day everyone and enjoy the sunshine.

[snow raven]

Morning!

 

Left Barnehurst this morning to clear blue skies, get to work and it's cloudy...  reckon the sun will soon melt it away though.

 

I've booked Monday as annual leave so I can enjoy the sunny (hot!) weather, as I think Sunday and Monday are looking to be the hottest before hopefully cooling down to more bearable temperatures to work in (fingers crossed!)

 

Roll on the weekend!

Good morning fair ladies!

 

Just taken a gander at the temperature charts for the next 7 days from GFS and the Netweather extra NMM and neither of them show above 25°C at any point currently, typically for Sunday:

 

 

I'm suspicious of these as we have almost had that recently anyway so lets see if we do crack the magic 30°C in the next week.

[Captain Shortwave]

Morning all, sunny here.

Sunny everywhere in the South East, temperatures today reaching 26C inland, around 20C on the coast with a developing light sea breeze. Good times ahead until Wednesday where we might start to get some low cloud, but there is plenty of time for the models to tweak the high more favourably for us on the coast

Morning Capt. S

 

I'm not too fussed about he numbers, just he general warmth and sunshine on the skin should help the next week along nicely.

[Steve C]

Morning... All.

 

In my experience, persistent North Sea generated low cloud, as far south on the east coast as I am, is pretty much a hen's teeth rare event this late in the summer. I can't speak for people further north though. Even the cloud we had early last month was a bit unusual; low sea surface temperatures probably being the major factor. I'd imagine the SST's have risen a couple of degrees since, meaning the event is less likely.

Morning Steve,

 

Not sure about the SST's in your part of the World, but I shall go down a little bit later and check them out here.

 

Lots of live data here:

Lovely blue sky and sunshine drive from Surbiton to Uxbridge this morning.

 

The plane spotter's count on the Heathrow perimeter road was down to 0 today from an all-time high of 11 yesterday - either there are no aeroplanes of interest, or planespotters love a good heatwave and are firing up the barbies in the garden rather than sitting on fold-out seats with flasks and sandwiches alongside a runway fence.

 

Have a good day everyone:)

[Methuselah]

Don't know how troublesome any low cloud might turn out to be, but I'm sure looking forward to feeling a sea breeze... 

[Coast]

Have a good day everyone:)

 

Thank you RS, you too! 

 

Just been chatting with neighbour about the sunny spell and he is kicking himself that he traded in his convertible for a Euro-Box last month. He commented I always seem to have my top down - have all the neighbours been peeking?  

[Steve C]

I'm looking forward to getting back to the relatively dry heat tbh. I'll be at Heathrow at 18:40 tomorrow and might just get to my local before closing time.  

 

The temperature here is 31C, with humidity over 70% - okay if you have a breeze on you, but would be dreadful for anything else without air conditioning.

 

I had the first decent sunset yesterday, but have still heard no thunder, even if there have been some seriously heavy rainstorms today.

 

 

[Eskimo]

Greetings from Zakynthos, Zante.

A sizzling 32C here at 1pm with a forecast high of 34C. Usually I come back to cool and wet but boy things have definitely changed back home!

One in one out! :lol:

 

Loving Zante but I'm more than happy with the England today - 100% wonderful out here in the sunshine! 

[Methuselah]

The sky looks as if there might be a load of suspended Saharan dust about?
