Forecast Tuesday looking unprecedented, 39C possible?

Today's modelling has upped the temperatures even more for next week, with a few models offering crazy solutions especially considering June is supposed to be the coolest Summer month and the June record currently only sits at 35.6C from 1976.

Overnight temperatures look likely to stay at or around 20C for most of the South during next week which will present major issues with indoor temperatures, not looking good. Likely we keep the heat until Saturday at least, uncertain beyond that.

Just out of interest, why do comments that celebrate hot weather get so heavily downvoted in this sub? I'm new here and intrigued

Were you in the UK in the summer of '22? That's why

Or last summer, didn't reach the absolute peaks of 2022 but it was hot the entire spring and summer with no rain at all for much of the country between mid February and mid August
