Was already 25°C at 7.50 this morning, then a few heavy drops from some spurious cloud, not enough to really wet anything but the petrichor was something.

The 39 forecast for Thursday here (Met) now dropped to 37.

But the temp for each of Fri, Sat, Sun has been increased.

That's a pay-off I can proper get behind 😃

We don't have access to the IBM but they were correct and not having any of this heatwave.  Yes this morning full sun but mostly cloudy here so also wrong, yesterday was showing cloudy all day but sunny instead until it went overcast at 6pm.  Just a bog standard warm spell now.

I know many on this site disregard Jersey’s validity when looking at weather data.  Regardless, we are 28c at 8.30 am, forecast to be 38c today, then 37, 38 for the next two days.  Many schools closing, lots of the same warnings that the UK have in place.  We missed the storms yesterday and so the temperature will respond very quickly to the continental feed.  Unprecedented.

Arome shows 36C today on the low res plots. Quite possibly a few 37Cs in the grib, but I don't have the time to check.

Yes  lots of cloud here too, and storms still bubbling up

 I'd be surprised if London got to 33c today tbh. Maybe further west will go higher but the June record looks safe today.

Met office app for here: 34c, 33, 37c, 37c, then cooling nicely over the weekend and into next week.😎

Post heatwave, EMS look farily cool to average.

I've just looked it up and it was July 2016, 32.6C was the official high.

Back to this week and the Met Office forecast has dropped from 38/40/40 a couple of days ago to 35/36/38. And it's still wrong as it has full sun symbols when in fact it is 7/8 overcast across most of the south.

I remember previous record-breaking days were already pushing 30C by 9am but it's just 24C here at the moment and the highest 9am reading anywhere in the country is 27C in Cornwall (excluding Jersey). Having an amber warning for heat just seems like a bad joke at the moment!

I was awake at around 5am when we had a thunderstorm with heavy rain here, and we've just had another small one that started appearing on the radar from nothing about an hour ago.

Still lot of clouds here and there no heatwave anywhere and only 22C outside now as not rising due to little sun, just a bog standard warm spell today for most.

A definition of a heatwave mean no rain, no clouds and full sun from sunrise to sunset.  Now already 10am and lost 5 hours for temps to rise.  Just a bog standard warm to hot cloudy spell for most.  I hope the easterly winds to occur to clear this skies up.

WRF now has Friday as the hottest day, 38C.

Currently just 23.6C here with light rain. The Met Office are going to get an absolute roasting, even if none of the rest of us are. (The auto forecast still says 29C and sunny for the current hour, BTW!)

The sun's been beating down here for a couple of hours and it's steamy like a jungle - literally steamy, as seen by steam rising from my wooden garden fence. 23.1, dew 22.1, and the pavements are all now dry, even the areas sheltered by my trees.

No such bother in France where a couple of stations were at 36.5C by 11am local time.

6Z Arpege is out and gives a very small area of 35C in Berkshire today, a small patch of 37C in Sussex tomorrow, a tiny patch of 39C in north Wales (and 37C in Wiltshire and Somerset) on Thursday, and 37C in Norfolk on Friday.

6Z UKV has 35C today and 36C tomorrow (that's as far as it goes).

Could it rise 8c in 6 hrs? Possibly, it's probably in the sweet spot again.
