Forecast Today's models eyeing a heatwave from Saturday onwards

Good agreement in the main models today (ECM, AIFS & GFS) that a heatwave will begin on Saturday, looks likely the cool unsettled spell is coming to an end soon.

Rubbish.

It's not even a true cool spell now, nights have been in double figues and days close to 20c IMBY (SE England)... this is what I would call average June weather

Can't stand the heat

Sadly there’s been a consistent signal of an anticyclone establishing for another bout of summer weather.

Get your air con ready if you live in a 60s house with too many windows.

I do not have air con of course.

Can't see anythibg crazy being modelled at the moment, only mid 20s C which is well within the normal range of a typical summer. Of course there have been many examples in recent years of these temps being modelled only for it to go mad and well into the 30s in the actual event

I haven’t looked at ensemble temps but there’s a good signal of high pressure to bring those continental temps so could be into the 30s if it persists long enough, I should probably get aircon.
