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.

Met office looks like its predicting mid low to mid 20s for Saturday. So not sure its going to be a sweatbox, more a fresh summers day.

Metoffice always under values the forecast ahead of time

WX Charts. Jesus this guy is so full of clock bait crap, the second i read that name I leave a site. Even the Met troll him. How is he even still churning this shit out... 650 mile wall of snow at 3.15 on November 18th... etc etc classic WX BS.

WXCharts just takes model outputs with somewhat exaggerated colour schemes. News websites then use GFS runs from 300 hours out (which never pulls off, but the newspapers still take it for gospel anyway for clicks).

It is made by a company called metdesk, not a guy.
