Summer forecast Issued 01/06/2019

Monday brings a mix of sunny spells and thunderstorms to much of the country. In Scotland more prolonged outbreaks of rain continue. In the sunshine it will feel warm and humid.
During Tuesday very warm upper level air feeds in from the southeast. However cloudy skies and scattered thunderstorms probably hold down temperatures. Nonetheless it will be very warm in central and eastern England during sunny spells.
Forecast details for the rest of the working week are uncertain. A large and possibly record breaking plume of warmth pushes northwards across western Europe. The UK will be close to its eastern edge but computer models continue to show upper air temperatures approaching all time records. At ground level temperatures may be pegged back by the combination of cloud and thunderstorms. Maximum values of around 34C (93F) are currently being predicted by the GFS model. The high levels of humidity may make the UK feel more like Florida for a time.
