Mum's funeral is Wednesday, not Thursday as per my previous post. What's it looking like for here?  Hope it's not too unbearable for your hospital stay either. 

 

Hi Caz. So sorry to hear about your mum. Hope it goes OK for you on Wednesday. Take care.

Ecm has 850s of 19/20c on Thursday most of the other models have something similar. You would have to think the all time June max 35.6c is under threat.

Thanks Saint!    I don't want to hijack this thread but I'm hoping Wednesday isn't going to be too hot, as my son and nephews will be in suits and ties for carrying mum's coffin.

I felt for those in full uniform in this heat at the trooping of the colours today and I believe one of them passed out and was stretchered off.  Do you follow my train of thought?  

So can anyone give their thoughts on Wednesday's weather in North Notts?

I'd say sunny about  25c ish so not too bad the real heat Wednesday is further west.

38C!

Caz, so sorry to hear about your mum. Sending loads of love and best wishes. 

As for summer being over? Isn't it nice when the trolls aren't spoiling this thread.

Cheers Matty! Yes this thread is currently behaving nicely and it's nice to see you posting again. 

At the moment Wednesday is looking OK for us if we get 25c.

I think that sounds about right based on current output Caz. Very sorry to hear of your loss and I hope Wednesday goes OK.

Take a look at Arpege. It turns the winds Southerly and brings 22C 850s by Thurs. But even by We'd it's showing a 3rd Aug 1990 pattern with a claimed 36C around the Cheltenham area.

See wxcharts version (which has the max-mins).

38C!

They were pretty accurate 2 years ago - Looks mad - but I reckon now we will see some memorable temperatures over the next few weeks.

Jusr seen the lunchtime Weather for the week ahead and it appears the end is nigh for our hot spell. The peak of the heat should be Monday (32c possible in S.E. but with an increased risk of afternoon downpours). A gradual cooling trend evident for Tues/Wed before another plume of heat pushes up from across the Channel on Thurs. Then a potent cold front pushes across all parts on Friday introducing a period of cooler less settled Atlantic domination.

The heat will be back soon though.

Hopefully it will!

 I feel a bit selfish for wanting a midweek cool down but I'd feel less guilty if it did heat up again!

Wouldn't trust BBC weather though, apparently we have a thunderstorm forecast here (Wolverhampton/West Mids) at 4pm but the skies are largely clear at the moment. Also the London forecast today was for clear sunny skies, but on the satellite images the skies are 50/50 covered in cloud, so 5 day forecast's are really quite risky.

If anyone was listening to that dipstick cold weather whatever his name was last week, we'd be in a cool, northerly flow now with a high set up in the mid atlantic. 

What is for sure is despite so called model upgrades, they are as useless as they've ever been at 5+ days. Hopefully the heat hangs around. Until this time next year

GEFS has 850s going from 20C to 10C late this week. Extreme heat followed by warm or very warm. Not exactly an ice age. Could be wrong of course.

---

Definitively more unsettled on the 12z in both GFS AND UKMO models this afternoon.

---

Still no sign of that thunderstorm or thundery shower.
