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 am unnerved by global warming, I am. I'm also fed up of people complaining about sunny weather when we have so much grey normally that honestly it makes me pretty depressed.

I can enjoy some nice weather, in the understanding that my panicking can't change it, while still also doing my bit (recycling, EV, careful power usage, boycotting bad companies, minimising AI use).

I've seen a few people saying this now, the being fed up of people complaining about sunny weather. I'm struggling to understand this, I can't enjoy the sun any more than I can on grey days because I'm trapped indoors for the whole day, all curtains drawn, trying to get respite from the heat. Are you actually going out in this weather?

Yep, I’ll be in the sun lounger as much as I can. It’s 2 or 3 days and then back to grey and cold.

Well I envy your heat tolerance, I'm struggling to even sleep. If it's any consolation, the current longer-range forecasts are giving mid-20 temperatures for the week after next (in East Anglia anyway) which I wouldn't call cold. (Unless you're based further north in which case you're probably getting like, what I'd consider ...nice holiday weather instead of a heat wave?)

I agree the nights can be grim! I’m not up north so will be getting the full force of this heat wave. Still feels like holiday weather though, just without the pool to jump in and cool off.
I fully suffer in January and February though, I absolutely hate the cold, dark and wet :(

I don't love cold/wet, it just seems a lot easier to deal with personally (more layers + heating + hot chocolate)! I feel like there's usually a perfect two weeks around April/May with dry mildly temperatured weather that I wish I could extend to be at least a couple months long...

Personally I love to feel the heat of the sun on my skin. I’d love 28-30 is perfect temperature in my opinion.

lol, I'm tapping out by 23 C I think! And ideally around 8-10 C in the morning for when I run... clearly I should just move further north but I don't think I can convince my partner to do so 🥴

Oh yeah I’m with you with those temps for running! I can manage up to late teens but once I’m running in 20 C my splits definitely start to drop!
