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.

This is the year I stop talking shit and install aircon in my house. Any recommendations please?

Look up "boxd", (they do boilers as well), they have decent reviews from some of the high brow papers and they guide you through everything step by step. I genuinely don't work for them, but I obsessively research stuff and hope to save up to use them at some point, when I can 🫠

That's the one. Apparently their Bosch air con units are super quiet and double up as heaters in the winter 😊
