The Central England Temperature (CET) is currently running a massive 4°C to 5°C above the different 30-year series that are normally used for comparison. With heatwaves in May and June, and more warmth on the way, this is turning into an extraordinary period of weather. However, there will be changes by the weekend as cooler air moves southwards and temperatures dip.
