There will be storms about but as ever they will be hit and miss. If we get anywhere near 40c will cause so many problems we simply ain’t used to that level of heat

 

Absolutely!!!

Ive just recovered from COVID a couple of weeks ago, I'm still feeling a tad shortness of breath .  A huge worry is I know a lot of friends around us who have COVID at the minute, I'm praying that they and the vulnerable will be ok.

Expecting Met office to issue a red warning for parts of our region for Tuesday if not I’m struggling to see why not 

I've been waiting for the usual downgrades, but those are exceptional temperatures! Heat like that should go hand in glove with an MCS.

[Phil Blake]

Still looking like northern records could be well surpassed tomorrow. In the meantime it's just gone 11am and the temp is already 29c

Looking at how some lively showers popped up in the south last night, I have a bit of hope we might get something potentially overnight tonight, maybe the odd brief pop up storm, there should be enough heat and maybe the early sunrise might help. Some models are breaking out some showers from around North Wales moving north east overnight. Something to keep an eye on. 

Other than that, the actual breakdown looks fairly quiet at the moment unless I'm missing something. Maybe a bit of potential overnight tomorrow night but it feels like clutching at straws at the moment. What I was originally hoping for was an MCS moving up the country overnight, but little sign of that.

Edit: Convective Weather have just put out a forecast highlighting the potential for a few isolated storms... "Perhaps the greatest risk (albeit still very low) is across Wales, the Midlands into northern England during the afternoon and evening hours."

Nearly 3 o clock and currently 34. I know these arnt very accurate and can probably take a degree or 2 off the actual temp but that would still be 31/32c for the north east which is just exceptional and to think tomorrow will be hotter 

[Snow-mad-dave]

Stopped at 32 thank god

Im a right whimp when it comes to heat!!

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

I'm at work in Durham keeping an eye on the nearby Durham Uni weather station, which is a proper setup with a Stephenson screen. Highest so far today has been 31.9c, just less than 1c short of the all time (since 1900) record. That's sure to be smashed tomorrow though.

Someone who lives near me in Stanley has reached 31.0 on their station which always seems pretty reliable. Impressive for Stanley!

34.8c in the corner of my garden which has been shaded from the sun all day. Thermometer accuracy is +/- 1°C.

 

[Snow-mad-dave]

Durham University is still creeping up, 32.2c now after hovering around 31.7c for a while. 

[Rollo]

We have a cool !! 31.2 at the moment which strangely is the highest I have had today, tomorrow is forecast higher but we are off to the lakes which s supposed to be a tad cooler than here.

[Snow-mad-dave]

Just the 31 degree's at the minute, some lovely clouds developing, the 2nd photo of the cloud in the distance is getting really high, praying it turns into a storm, we can wish

[Rollo]

Phew, it’s only 24.4 now,a few more degrees drop and I might get some shut eye.

[Phil Blake]

Well same as yesterday so far. Just before 11 and it's 29c. Hit 34 yesterday with the temp rising right upto 4/5pm supposed to hit higher today

[Snow-mad-dave]

Hoping for some home grown storms later, praying to the thunder god's for a storm

[Phil Blake]

Hitting 34 now. Also shows 34 on the live data metoffice website so that would already be north east record gone with a few hours heating left 

[Snow-mad-dave]

35 in Middlesbrough at the minute Phil.  I've just been reading the local paper 60% chance of a storm after 6pm, I'll take that

The risk is bigger towards Yorkshire and Lincolnshire I'd say but fingers crossed. I'm at work from 2pm like. Nice cool air-conditioned workplace 

[Summer Sun]

35.6c currently in Darlo

[Phil Blake]

Driving to work and the car has 37. Currently 36c. 

[Snow-mad-dave]

Just had to pick my son up from school at 1pm, apparently it's too hot but that's for another day.

There's quite a strong breeze getting up, just feels even worse, a giant fan outside blowing really hot air around.

[Summer Sun]

37.1 in Darlo
