Well he lives in Lancashire according to his bio so perceptions of summer up there can be very different from those in London or the SE. Looking at his tweets there also seems to be some AGW scepticism at play which may be colouring his opinion. I’ll say no more.
He used to post here as MVH years ago. Just another enthusiast like the rest of us, and given to over-confident predictions like these. Also if I recall a climate change sceptic so always given to emphasising cold weather. Best ignore. There are actual met office scientists posting on Twitter who are much more knowledgeable - Marco petagna for example, as for that matter are the likes of schafernaker.
No sure how you can be a climate change sceptic and a meteorologist . But if it's just about media hyping things then that's a bit different.
There are quite a few that fit that description - including Joe Bast*rdi mentioned upthread. I think it’s sometimes more about professional parochialism. There’s a strand in old school meteorology that resents the dominance of climatologists and the idea the trend is more important than the oscillations. In a way the weather is always fighting against the climate for supremacy. If you specialise in the weather perhaps you want it to win.
Anyway back on topic…and the low cloud has come over.
Didn’t Matt used to work for Metcheck? He knows his stuff.
My phone says it's currently 26c out.23.6c inside.
If you had said that 30 years ago you would be thought to be mad
Have we officially hit 28C today?
Rounded 28C in a couple of places. I’ve not checked actual maxes yet.
29.5C down here.. officially I don't know but I suspect Gosport fleetlands will have exceeded 28C and it's an official station.
27.5 Heathrow looks like it. 27.4 at Thorney Island.
We don’t have an official indoor temperature thread, but just to confirm that despite cool nights and diligent timing of window opening and closing we have breached the 25C mark on the first floor. Only one direction from here.
He's been saying we won't have a summer at all because of El Nina, yet June was pretty decent and now a decent chunk of July is looking good.
Gosport fleetlands will definitely have been warmer. A private Gosport weather stations I check in on had a temperature of 28.5C, however I'm not sure where in Gosport it is located unlike the fleetlands which is located on the north east coast of Gosport.
There may have been an other station that the metoffice have that could even be the UK hotspot.

Gosport fleetlands & Heathrow both tied the UK hotspot at 27.5C then.

This time next Sunday when we wake up to already in the 30's temps with record to be broken somewhere.
Hope you enjoy your holiday in Greece then!
You'll be very disappointed if you're expecting 30C at 7 AM here... even the hottest runs over the past few days have failed to achieve that.

No i mean those who get up at 9am or later as is a weekend day would see temps already in the 30's. 7am likely lows 20's after high teens over night temps. The following night might be record to break the 24C minimum somewhere. Earliest 30C I recorded was 9.30am on 10th August 2003 then 38.6C by 5pm.
