Ah the oirish indeed I was fortunate enough to get a high tide swim in at 1 20pm ,really beautiful so I really hope you acquire a residence by the coast Tom.

[Dami]

Lovely breeze, shame it feels like a blow torch. 

[Katrine Basso]

Even though the outside temperature in the shade 31C, it has caused me unusual symptoms; where I pain only on the left side of my body. I am now wearing a foot brace (that looks like a boot) 2 foot support socks, two knee supports, lower back brace,  two wrist and hand braces and two upper back braces.

[summer blizzard]

Pressure steadily falling here and a scattered shower or two showing on radar in Scotland. I can feel my connection to the force growing again.

[Dami]

Our bedroom is currently at 31.5c, when we reached just short of 40c, our room hit just over 35c. The house is the coolest place to be .

Thanks to @Tom Quintavalle's posts about his salads, it made me fancy a chicken salad too. Ours is stuff we can just pull out the fridge, sliced chicken, cheese, cocktail sausages, ham and a simple salad. My hubby is master at doing these and just what the doctor ordered on such a hot day. 

[IanR]

If future summers are going to throw up regular spells of temps in the mid to high 30 everytime we get the azores high ridging in then it will become  my season of dread ,  to think , a few years ago summer was my favourite season 

Roll on autumn , please let this be the last hot spell ,  completely had enough   

[DeepSnow]

Still 31.4C here at 7:30pm, which is absolutely ridiculous for South Wales. Driving about in the heat and the landscape so brown and dusty, it has felt like being somewhere in the Mediterranean the last few days.

 

I think come winter I will be investing in getting a A/C unit, can't be dealing with these heatwaves multiple times a year.

[summer blizzard]

For a crumb of comfort, the summer of 1911 had 14.5-18.2-18.2 but a normal September CET.

[JR319]

Dying for cooler and unsettled weather. This weather is not only exhausting, but it’s getting boring now. We really need the rain too.

We badly badly need rain.  A Farmer friend of mine said to me this morning that this is going to take more than a few showers to get the fields straight.....It's such a serious situation.

Good Evening to President Dami, and fellow Heat Haters,

and Buona Sera to Katrine.

Sorry to hear that Katrine, apart from the pain, that lot must feel so uncomfortable, in this heat.

My Wife worried me, earlier this Afternoon. Colette suddenly complained of not being able to breathe properly.

Although my Wife was diagnosed as being Asthmatic when she was a Teenager, I've never actually seen her have an Asthma attack. I was also diagnosed as being Asthmatic, some Years ago. I lived up in Lincolnshire for a Year, with my first Wife and my Asthma may have been triggered by Rape Seed Oil plants. That part of the Country is a sea of Yellow, during the Spring and early Summer.

I havn't had an Asthma attack for many Years now but I have two puffs of my Brown inhaler a Day, as the Stroke I suffered in September 2015, left me with swallowing problems, and the Brown inhaler is taken, just in case I ingest food/liquid, down into my Lungs. Touch wood, it hasn't happened, so far but my G.P. still insists I rerder both Blue and Brown inhalers, in case I need them both. I've got so many Blue inhalers [Ventolin], I'm thinking of opening my own Market Stall!! 

Really hope the Forecast fresher air arrives in a few Days time, as it's pretty obvious it's having a detrimental impact on those with certain ongoing, medical conditions.

Hope you feel some relief soon,  Katrine.

Evening Dami,

Yes, I certainly think Salads are the way to go, in this Weather. Colette is a very good and imaginative, cook.

We've been eating a lot of Salads during this Summer, especially since the really hot Weather arrived in July.

Colette has avoided putting the Oven on and only puts the hob on briefly, to warm up some new potatoes.

We've had so many Jacket Potatoes recently, I'm beginning to look like one. They are really delicious served with a topping of Tuna Mayo, with a side of coleslaw. Colette made her own version of Coronation Chicken, which we had in a Sandwich for Lunch.

Tonight's Evening meal, was Quiche, cold new potatoes and coleslaw.

Managed to have an hour and a half nap this Afternoon, started with having two fans on, Petunia the Pedestal Fan and for the first time for three Days, her Daughter Tulip the Tower Fan but I still didn't feel comfortable enough, so I had to resort to putting on our long serving, Fabrizio Fan. I've said to Colette already, I think we're going to need all three on Tonight, and do the same as we did last night, in having our Bedroom door ajar to allow that slight Easterly breeze to infiltrate, via an open window in our East facing, second Bedroom. Our Bedroom, just as our Kitchen does, faces West and even with our blinds closed and curtains over the top of them, still the Room temperature is ridiculously high.

It was very noticeable this Morning when I came downstairs, how uncomfortably warm it felt in our Kitchen.  

I was only in there for a few minutes to take some meds, make a cuppa and a bowl of cereal but I could feel beads of sweat, forming on my neck. I couldn't wait to get into or Lounge, to "whack" on our two downstairs fans. As our Lounge faces East, you need them on as soon as the Sun starts "playing" on the widows in this Weather. The temperature shoots up very quickly, and it stays uncomfortable until the Sun has gone around, to the front of the House.

So, how are things looking Tonight, regarding a breakdown of this intolerable heat.

Below, is the recent situation at our nearest recording Station of London City Aitrport. Temp - 28c. D/Point - 11c. R/H - 35%.

Looking at the above Meteociel chart, as was suggested by Forecasters, the main body of heat, has shifted slightly further towards, the West.

This Evening's MeteoGroup "Weather for the Week Ahead" and as I awarded so many honorary Damehoods and Knighthoods, at the end of the July heatwave but I do seem to remember Dame Susan of Wellington [Hereford], having one bestowed upon her.

Anyway, below is a link to this Evening's offering, from Dame Susan:

Weather for the Week Ahead - BBC Weather

Dame Susan suggesting there could be some lively T/Storms pushing into N.Ireland/Scotland, during the course of Tomorrow.

As we go into Monday, she suggests that the Northern half of the U.K., will again be at risk from some lively T/Storms, including N.England, this could result in some flash flooding. All the time, these Regions will see temperatures easing back to mid-teens, by 6 A.M. but it will still be uncomfortably warm further South, a low close to 20c around London.

As a Low tries to move closer to the U.K. on Monday, those Thundery downpours start to encroach into Wales, and the West of England. Some more organised rainfall likely over N.Ireland/Scotland and turning considerably cooler here, by then. 

Temperatures still close to 30c in E.England on Monday but the chance of Showers here, according to Dame Susan, fairly slim.

However by Tuesday, as that area of Low pressure works its way in. the probability of seeing Showers further East, increases.

But Dame Susan was at great pains to point out, that these our Showers we are talking about. Some areas could see some heavy downpours, while a few miles down the Road, could see nothing.

But Dame Susan did point out as we start to see more cloud developing, associated with this instability and a change in wind direction, temperatures will be returning closer to average, for this time of Year, London around 25c on Tuesday Afternoon.

Wednesday, should see a stronger possibility of Showers for Southern districts, with that Low by this time, just South of the U.K.

So, Dame Susan suggests it could be Wednesday, when we finally see some meaningful Rain across some parts of England and Wales, with temperatures around average for the time of Year. London back down to a max. of 24c.

By this time N.Ireland/Scotland become dry, if still cloudy and a little on the cool side.

At the end of the Week, a ridge from the Azores High, is trying to settle the Weather down again. 

Thursday, perhaps will see a more organised band of Rain for N.Ireland/Scotland, with some isolated Showers drifting across, to E.England. But parts of the North of England, unlikely to have see any meaningful Rain.

Dame Susan ended her Forecast, on a cautionary note.

She states with High Pressure trying to build in from the Atlantic next Weekend, at the same time heat will again begin to build again over S.Europe, and as we could be under an Easterly flow by that time, we could yet again start to import some heat, from Continental  Europe.

Well, that's my take on Dame Susan's, "Weather for the Week ahead".

Please don't do it Dame Susan, you're in danger of becoming plain 'ole, Susan Powell.

I will say this though, her Male colleagues are yet again conspicuous, by their absence.

"Bottle jobs", the lot of you. Scared of losing your Forecasting reputations??

Will soon be retreating to to the Black Hole of Kolkata [aka, mine and Colette's Bedroom].

Really hope that Relative Humidity stays below 50%. overnight but that will no doubt be climbing, over the next few Days.

Stay cool and hydrated.

Night all,

Regards,

This is what the seasonal ECM is forecasting for Autumn.

Sadly, the horror show has a while to run yet if this is anywhere near to panning out as shown. Also, JMA & Met office also showing similar to this.

I suppose this is why they have been suggesting this could linger into next year re drought.

Hi all, I've been lurking on here for the past several days seeking sanctuary from the heat lovers in the other forums. This heat is insane and having just spent over a month in far southern Italy or as I now refer to it 'l'inferno' ... I'm so over it...

Please merciful and majestic weather gods bring us some much needed relief. If only for the wildlife and Heathlands.

The positive SST anomaly around the UK and France .... is this a driver to what we're seeing? And Im wondering if this is why we are seeing these strong & never ending positive heights indicated for autumn & winter 22/23.

Tom.... I feel this must be said..... Thank you so much for letting us all here into the lives of you and Colette.  I almost feel as though I'm in the spare bedroom with one of your famous fans...... I always look forward to your posts.... Keep safe Sir, both of you.... very best wishes.... Jane

[RabbitEars]

I concur honourable Jane with your sentiments in respect of the writings of his Honorable Tom. They are but a joy to read; so eloquent. 

I, too, am lurking here routinely in the hopes that the weather gods also read the informative posts and prayers of their subjects, and lessen the heat. 

Isle of Man back garden Douglas in the shade at ground level topped an unofficial 31.1'C. Currently 20.5'C. Indoors it's still 27'C in my bedroom, curtains have been closed all day, window is now open but breeze is blowing the wrong way to come in through it. 

There was at least one wildfire again here today. Poor wildlife! 

I suspect we will have thunder to end this spell. I hope we don't have flooding!

Rabbitears.... I will be totally honest.... an utterly dreadful week for me healthwise... Last year I had a new heart valve through open heart surgery... that is working wonderfully.... However I was also born an asthmatic and the prolonged heat this week has very nearly crucified me... thank God for a call with one of my lovely Doctors earlier this week who allowed me steroids.... I am getting round a flock of sheep but sadly its those steroids keeping me afloat.... its OK to say I love this heat.. but by God remember those with health problems who are finding things very hard.

Spelling mistake and spacing mistake.... I'm fussy

[RabbitEars]

Honourable member Sid and all others who are suffering increases in symptoms and trouble on the medical front, I do pray and hope that you will all be feeling better soon.

Normal summers are bad enough with hay-fever, asthma and the likes, this one is much worse with the wildfire smoke (and next-door-but -one's BBQ).

Always good to have GP practice on speed dial, oh and the emergency services (for those times when you come across an accident or a fire or an alarm of some kind).
