The red warning jinxed things. Illegal and unconstitutional rain.

The hot spell has been very much Jiriesed.

33c, 35c, 35c, 36c, 34c 

Not as hot but more prolonged 

In this trend continues we may not even get the June record!

Here in soggy South Wales the ground is fairly sodden - I have some puddles still in the back garden and yet today we reached 31c despite it being breezy and cloudy pretty much all day. It was also wet underfoot in the May spell and we hit over 32c then too.

These temperatures may not be remarkable for other parts of the UK but they are in this part of the world. The May spell had a temp that was in Cardiff's all time hottest top 5 days.

On a different note it also rained here briefly today and felt just like being in a Tropical Rainforest - stonkingly hot, humid and uncomfortable. 

ECM 12z definitely underestimated the temps in France today by as much as 4c or 5c. 

Will be very interesting tmrw anything from 33c to 38c possible. 

I notice a lot of posts that they want to see the red. warning put up not amber or worry about why no warning, for me I never give a toss at all, as every time a warning come up like the snow it never materialized so better no warning needed.  Still dull and back to the unsettled cool cloudy spell type this evening.

Report of rain chucking down at Heathrow from one of the poster so likely game over now for any records for the SE.  

😵😵😵

Look at the wind direction and try to understand why eg Cheltenham was the form horse on 3.8.90

I wonder if this going to happen after lot of rain most places including SE that might effect it.  

Only a few spots of rain here most of which evaporated as it hit the gorund.

Sorry to hear that. I think the lack of warnings about these storms is a huge fail from the authorities. An amateur like me could see the danger days ago

the longer range ECM keeps sustained heat for the south east at least, nothing crazy but 30c is now considered normal.

I remember as a kid in the 80s when hitting 30 was a major news event.  (cue clips of idiots trying to fry eggs on car bonnets)

Whilst we may miss out on record highs, a sustained spell is probably worse in terms of health consequences.  

Either that or the models are overcooking the temperatures...

Yes, a 0.001% chance! (IMO).

The June 76 record will fall, and it'll do so on several days. 40 is the one that's unlikely to go - the MetO assessed it as a 20% chance yesterday in one of their videos, and I suspect that'll have gone down a tad today. 

There's been a serious amount of water dumped from the storms (17mm here, and it'll be similar across swathes of the south), but equally well some areas will have missed it entirely. And the area covered by the heat dome / plume / whatever you want to call it is simply massive... there's no way out of getting some record-breaking temperatures IMO.

Well GFS 0z , has 35c ,36c, 37c, 37c but smaller zone than previous runs. 

Meto output for my location has changed considerably overnight

Tues: 34C

Wed: 36C

Thu: 34C

Fri: 37C

Sat: 31C

The June record will likely go, but I fear after all this wet ground, it will be very tough to get anywhere close to these numbers.

35c, 36c, 37c, 37c 

More widespread though

Aperge of all the models has handled these temperatures appallingly. That’s a huge correction.
