We came close in April but no cigar. June was nowhere near - the record is 35.6C in 1976. I think the June record is one of the hardest to break - conditions are rarely good enough to deliver such heat in June. That being said, if the July 2015 record had occurred just a day earlier, it would have been the June record instead.
I thought April and June both saw the hotest days or was that the media hyping it up?
They both saw the hottest days.. of the year so far, but not the hottest on record.
Oh well never mind lol!
June was announced as having the all-time June record for Scotland, but then that got canned because there was an ice-cream van parked next to the thermometer with its engine running, or something!
UKMO looks very wet for a few days
Very high heights on GFS12 op for 3/4 Aug. Such a setup would give close to 20C differential between 850 and surface.
Just one run of course.
Astonishing GFS 12z rolling out. It's almost like a 1000 mile patch of autumn is dropped into the north Atlantic to give us a breather and then the summer resumes. Back to back temperature records on successive Fridays?
Give it a rest. It’s getting boring now!
Yeah, that would give widespread 35-37C with extreme subsidence.
But it is looking very wet for a few days? That's a fact!

GEM has a brief burst of extreme heat, but still keen on diving the jet through later
Potentially more changeable but very wet?

If only it was winter!

Some extreme heat pushing into Alaska

This run shows the high getting sucked too far west allowing cooler air in from the north. They never come off in winter so I'll ignore it :)
For goodness sake Beast get a grip. These ridiculously provocative and vague statements of yours are helping no-one in this thread
Very wet? Where? There's no location in your statement, no chart. Nothing, and then you wonder why people question your posts
I'm happy enough to discuss the more changeable weekend ahead of us but the discussion has to start from a shared understanding of what the models are showing
Yes some very high rainfall totals for Western and Central areas for 3-4 days, this is why I hate southerly plumes - two hot days then unsettled weather and 16-18C
Going further forward I'd have my doubts about settled weather returning.
If it started cooling off around the Glorious Twelfth I won't be too worried. It would still go down as one of the greatest summers of all time.
Astonishing is right Several days of very warm upper air temps on the back of a week long heatwave for the south. Phenomenal output this evening!
You said this a week or so ago? Why are you so bullish about this when all of the extended output/ forecasts/ background signal show otherwise? (genuinely interested in your reasoning - like I am in your Beastly buddies negative spin)
Is it simply hoping to be right in the face of adversity when this pattern does eventually break? Good luck - they say monkeys hitting a keyboard at random will eventually type up texts like Shakespeare, purely by chance

Why dont you 2 go and get married then you can swap fake news with each other all day long whilst the rest of us see and comment on what the models are actually showing.
