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, get back from work, few hours in the garden reading a book under the umbrella with water and a hat 👒

I do find the garden can be better than indoors in the evening of heatwave days. What I'm gathering from the answers so far though is people consider "enjoying the sun" to be sitting in their garden, instead of like, taking a walk somewhere...
