Subtle but significant changes on GFS this morning. The Ens is no longer moving the anticyclone far enough east to switch the wind direction around to a hot southerly. Instead, it weakens and retrogresses west, keeling us in a largely west north-westerly flow. Still mostly dry and very warm for a time however.

Yes certainly not looking like 40c now. Perhaps a few days getting to 30c but looking like a fairly long settled and dry spell.

At the risk of getting shouted down, 40c is never a likely outcome here.

A long dry spell and increasingly warm to hot though does look likely.

Don't think summer lovers anywhere would complain at what we've got coming up.
