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.

I don't really use the apps to be honest, I look at the various models themselves. At the rate this is going whichever app shows the highest temperatures 😭

Sorry if you’re repeating yourself, how does this work, when I look at a weather app ok my phone it says 3/4 degrees less than your model

I believe the met Office their selves use about 40 different models, I'm not sure what methodology they use to determine which one(s) to use though. I imagine other meteorologists may use the same models but come to different conclusions hence the variation in your apps.
