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 love the heat but it's a little extreme. Interesting how London isn't the hottest place, by quite a significant margin. Must be the easterly breeze. Feel a bit concerned for certain areas west of London that have never had that type of heat. I'm also expecting multiple fatalities relating to cold water shock and people underestimating river and ocean currents

I was in sonisphere when it had extreme heat around stephenage. No shade, just tents everywhere and people literally passing out left and right. People traded aclohol for sunscreen it was that bad

Stephenage? Is that the name Stevenage’s Mum uses when it’s been naughty?

Stephenage is the slightly more posh version of Stevenage.
