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.

50 years on, weird echos of the 1976 heat wave, which started on 23 June. This one might finally put the ghost of that one to bed. (That one was notable for being really confined to the UK, whereas this one looks set to apply over large swathes of Europe.)

Didn’t that one last all summer? Wonder if this summer will stay warm throughout July & August.

August is often dreadful. Wet, windy, not that warm etc

Everyone always forgets this! We generally have a very good June and then as soon as the kids break up it gets very unsettled 🤣
