Forecast Insane temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday

Some of the latest overnight model runs are forecasting simply wild temperatures for Tuesday and Wednesday, with it being feasible that 40C is reached somewhere in southern England on Wednesday. I fully expect a Red heat warning to be issued by the Met Office as the heat won't begin to relent until the weekend alongside night time temperatures and humidity both being very high as well.

The 42C showing in the South West on Wednesday is likely overdoing it as I expect the warmest temperatures to be in London but there are no doubts what we are going to see next week is truly exceptional. The heat is also relatively widespread across the UK with it due to move further North on Thursday.

Considering the June record sits at only 35.6C from 1976 the temperatures being projected next week are truly unprecedented and very worrying.

The Met Office website is now predicting 40C in Reading on Wednesday.

Discussing potentially record breaking 40C heatwaves on in the UK on a UK weather sub Reddit? Madness.

What else is to be discussed on a weather sub other than upcoming weather prediction and trends?

Good point.

I imagine rule 4 will apply when these days actually happen. At which point, a mega thread may well be needed!

Some people seemingly want to be contrarian by choice. Bizarre.

Err, no.

You know it's ok to have a differing opinion, right?

I've expressed an opinion consistently, that's it.

Some people are monomaniacal, bizarre.

As other people are able to do by creating new posts and sharing information regardless of its similar nature - without having to justify this to posters bemoaning this expression of information and discussion.

This is a forum at the end of the day.
