Increasingly cloudy and windy now in Watford, think the record will be safe for another while

[sunnijim]

Not really.. Even when the higher cloud rolled in the temp was climbing

yeah,cloud breaks appearing on Sat 24 toward the South coast.Sunny skies by 2pm?

[80sWeather]

Wow 32c by 11am here and with the breeze, its like standing in front of the cooker with the oven door open!

Midlands such as Coventry airport now showing 33c. It could get close to the record elsewhere!

[NO LONGER POSTING]

so looks like we are currently in the region hovering around 32-33 until the cloud passes over (sat24 showing this within the hour) then I think we could get 35-36 easily...

It is not all bad this crud is from France and it is going northwards there will eventually be clearances without doubt it's not extensive as all that bank of cloud to the west.

^^ Out in the channel the cloud is decaying

33c here in south-west London (where I'm working today).

 

Maximum yesterday was 29c but wonderful to get back to lowland East London and a beautiful refreshing breeze off the river. Wonder if that will be present this evening.

Cloud disappearing wind dropped. Temps must now rise!!!

[NO LONGER POSTING]

good for peeps on south coast to keep reports on going helps us more north of you

When have we ever wanted the cloud to break up to see if we can get it any hotter?

 

Oh wait.. Every single time

As expected thanks for sharing it is budging

Thankyou! Observations from your neck of the woods are crucial in what we have an hour or so down the line in the London area today.Temps holding steady at 32c and 33c around London under cloudier skys,an injection of Sun from 1330 could see sky rocketing temperatures again with the July record smashed.

Feeling unnerved about the latest tornado risk from TORRO, has me right in the firing line of potential right movers!

I'll be chasing today if anything crops up!

Amazing since we were forecast not much at all yesterday!

[Steve C]

Heathrow 'only' 30C now.

[Hughsey]

Temperature still slowly climbing here, at 32.1.  Mostly clear still, a little high level cloud.  Forecasts still look to be indicating it will be dry around here, but I'm not ruling out the chance of some storms later, keeping an eye on the radar.

[Jezzer]

Heathrow 'only' 30C now.

Think that should start to rise again soon as cloud is clearing from the south

[weathertoski]

Cloud starting to break up here now...

[<<Ryan>>]

The sun is just about coming back out here, blue sky is spreading over from the south.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Sun coming back out here to big lengthy clear spells showing now up the temp goes!!

[sunnijim]

Had a bit of 'infill' of cloud again looking at sat24 just South of London :-(

[seaside 60]

Happy days its clouded over, means I can carry on working in my garden.

You can keep your 30+.

Peaked at 24c here.

[stun12]

Temperatures here stopped rising mid-morning at the 27c level when some white cloud pushed in. It's clearing a bit at a time from the south with some blue patches now visible and the temp has quickly risen to the current 28.7c. Humidity of 49% not too bad for the moment, though it does feel very warm out there.

[Hughsey]

Just hit 33 degrees here, little sign of much cloud cover.

... S/SE ENGLAND, E MIDLANDS and E ANGLIA ...

 

As mentioned in Day 1 outlook, thunderstorms, mainly elevated, are indicated by most models to spread NE from the English Cannel/N France across S and SE England Thursday morning, as plume destabilised ahead of cold front further west. UKMO indicates storms arriving by 6am across far S/SE England before spreading N/NE across E Midlands and E Anglia during the morning and early afternoon, before the cold front clears east introducing drier and fresher conditions from the west later in the afternoon. 40-50 knts of DL shear will be sufficient for multicell clusters or line segments given time of day and elevated nature of storms, capable of producing hail, torrential rain leading to flash flooding, marginally strong gusty winds and frequent cloud-to-ground lightning. A marginal risk is maintained here from the Day 1 outlook.

 

... EIRE, N IRELAND ...

 

GFS indicates 400-700 j/kg CAPE across the above areas in the afternoon, so scattered heavy shower and a few thunderstorms appear likely, though with less warmth and humidity and weak DL shear, no severe weather is anticipated.

 

 

Not sure if anyone missed this... 

[tomp456]

Cloud is back. Hazy sunshine now.
