Now, we've been here before, wasn't it Backtrack who said he'd eat his shorts? Still hasn't happened !

Just to further add to it, almost 20 years ago, Net-weather was conceived, in the spring before one of the hottest summers on record. On the 10th August that record was beat with 38.1C being recorded in Gravesend (that's my profile picture).. I think the record prior to that was 37.6C

 

It's quite fitting almost 20 years later that the record will likely be broken again (despite the record being broken twice in the time since)

No if,s or buts that has to be a red warning and don't go out.extremely dangerous to even the healthier person.

I've been saying this for days.

Tuesday looks brutal.

If we're lucky, we might get away with 36/37 tops here on Monday. Fingers crossed we don't see two 40C days.

[SP1986]

There's still a chance that the model outputs are peaking with their heat, and we will see a reduction in temperatures over the next few days, at least that's my experience of events in the past. I think it's likely one or two locations in our region will come close to the current record of 38.7C, which is quite astonishing in itself, but I think more realistic situation is that we will see anything from 36 to 38 as absolute maximums across the region.. of course those numbers are very high still. 

Where we will likely have incredible values is at night.. every possibility an urban centre like Manchester could have minimas around 24-25C, which again would beat the current UK record of 23.9C

 

Astonishing period of weather coming up!

Bizarrely I have just read an article in the evening news with local councils asking schools to cancel sports days,are you having a laugh the schools should be shut full stop Monday and Tuesday,after all they seem to close when we get a cm of slush in winter,apparently there is no upper threshold for schools to close in severe heat,but there is a threshold for cold weather,these hot spells seem to be becoming more frequent perhaps our schools should do what our European friends do and close for summer mid June,and shorten other holidays like Easter and whit.

Last time I experienced that kind of temperature was when I was living in California but there was low humidity given it was in the desert. Didn't stop it feeling like you've opened an oven door when you stepped outside. Dreadful stuff. Partly the reason I decided to move to New York in the Autumn as I knew there would be a snow fix and not relentless desert warmth even late in the year. Happened to be a great winter, colder than usual with tons of snow. The great thing about the big Apple was even with 2ft of snow most places didn't shut down apart from the metro and airport. The local shops was open if you decided to brave the elements and trudge there through mounds of snow.

[cheshire snow]

Brutal no other word for it look at Tuesday a feel like Temp of 45c at 1500 this is for South Cheshire.

[RobR]

I wasn't sure this heatwave was going to produce much up here but the firming up at this range of temps is insane. I've experienced 38C once in Dallas TX and it was fine as low humidity. 34C in the Houston humidity is not so good!

[severe snowstorm]

An overcast start here, an overnight low of 10.1C. A stark contrast to the overnight temperatures we'll experience early next week, when they'll not dip below 20-25C. I think I can forget sleeping. An incredible spell of weather coming up.

Certainly nothing on models that moves heat away on Tues, was hoping earlier this week it may happen

[Weather-history]

Any recall the 1st August 1999 thundery breakdown?  A hot sunny Sunday but clouds built up and rolled in from the SW, it went bang late afternoon and temperatures dropped by 8C here.

I was shocked when i saw that, usually when a heatwave strikes Wigan gets a partly cloudy day with an evening shower and mild temps..Unbelievable that 41c is so near

I have travelled a lot to the Mediterranean and beyond in my 61 years so have experienced 40c+ temps on occasions ,but I'm really excited that we could get it here for the first time.

[jimben]

So thankful for today's wet conditions in the lake district which will hopefully save us from the idiots and their disposable BBQ's that will descending on the park on the next few days.

[Rush2019]

Met office now issued a red weather warning.

[Slidergate '17]

Wow... looks like we could be heading into uncharted territory Mon-Wed. Iv been around for a few 34-35 degree days in Manc but the thought of 36+ . That sort of heat is bad enough abroad let alone in the UK.

[Geordiesnow]

Tuesdays heat is looking a bit touch and go now, when I say that I mean for those who may want to experience 40C, could be one of those strange days where  the maximum occurs very early in the day.

In one way it's a slight shame the models are backing towards an earlier breakdown, in an ideal world, the storms will come overnight but things don't always work out like that! 

 

[weatherobsuk]

I had one of my courier companies ringing just after the Red Warning was issued to let me know that I won't be doing any leaflet rounds on either Monday/Tuesday which is somewhat of a relief as to be out in those kind of temperatures in a car that isn't built for such extremes would have been a nightmare. Luckily being ad-hoc I can make-up the lost time later on into next week so I won't be losing out on any income.

For others such as bus/train/taxi drivers, retail staff, the 'average joe' etc, it's going to be a testing day.

[Weather-history]

SSEly wind, that is the direction that often brings the region our highest temperatures during summer
