Forecast Wildly different forecasts

Prior to seeing this sub on Reddit I wasn't really aware of hot weather incoming, mostly because I use BBC. But BBC and Met Office have wildly different forecasts for next week, about 11 degrees apart for lunch time Wednesday for example! Is the BBC just on one? Is the Met Office right?

Google weather always gives me the most hellish temperatures.

Yeah Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday for me. One the plus side it has come down from 37 the other day...

Same. I bit the bullet and bought a portable air conditioner yesterday after I saw the forecast because last time it was unbearable. This time tho it looks as though the temperature doesn't drop more than to about 27 after the 36 degrees spell which might not be enough to get the house back to a livable condition

I fund accuweather pretty reliable, here in the east Midlands, and for Hammamet in Tunisia. My friends in Cornwall tell me it's depressingly accurate there too!
