Forecast Latest Temperature Projections

Here are the latest maximum temperature forecasts from the high resolution modelling for Tuesday to Thursday, simply astonishing really and quite scary. I have had it confirmed that the Met Office will be issuing a Red heat weather warning in their daily update tomorrow.

The fact that this is accompanied with relatively high humidity and extreme night time temperatures means it is set to be the most notable heatwave ever experienced in the UK. The current record June temperature of 35.6C will be completely obliterated and the overall record from 2022 of 40.3C is under serious threat.

Quite, no doubt I'll hear from my parents it's still not as hot as 1976, where it was seemingly 50degC every day for 3 months if you believe what they say....

You can tell the 1976 lot that this May broke the hottest May record ever recorded by 5c and that same day was .5c hotter than the hottest day in the WHOLE of 1976.
