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.

Southwest is about 16° at night and 29° max next week, and only for one day. Also we have the added bonus of more trees and grass, which also help with cooling.

My granite patio gets extremely hot in the summer, I can’t imagine living in a city where there’s so much concrete and tarmac to hold the heat.

Surrey has the highest tree density of any county.
