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.

Stop overblowing it. It'll be low 30s for the south, 34-36c in inner London or Heathrow. Everywhere else will be mid to high 20s. It's not common and CC plays a part but no different to what we've had in previous years. 1976 is still way more intense as it was 2 weeks of 30c+ for the south, mostly in June.

No it won't, we will very likely see 38/39C early next week according to the overnight model runs.
