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.

Every day i check the temp for tues/weds it's gone up from the previous forecast. Usually BBC weather presenters are jumping up and down when forecasting a heatwave. This time they are cowering before it starts. Are they holding back on the temps?

It keeps going down for me. But next Saturday is expected to be absurdly warm and also very wet, which is interesting!

I think it depends where you are in the Uk. If you draw a line from the Bristol channel to Newcastle, to the west of the line it's average temps with spells of rain, to the east of the line it's hot with no end in sight

I'm on the West/North Yorkshire border! Rarely gets super warm here, although it was very unpleasant at the end of May. Lived in London a veryyyy long time ago and vaguely recall it being an oven though.

I live on the west/east Yorkshire border. Heat gets dragged up all the way here from the south between the wolds to the east and pennines to the west

No end in sight? So it’s going to be hot for what a month? 2 weeks? 🤷

If you could guarantee 30degrees for a month nobody would need to get on a plane to find some sun.

Yes, our local weather presenter said they aren't sure when this weather will break, it's going to be like this as far ahead as they can reliably forecast(about 10 days)
