Weather

is there really a heatwave tomorrow??

27 replies

AugustaProdworthy · 31/07/2013 13:38

All the sites I have looked at suggest 30 degrees in London tomorrow, but its lovely and cool today. How accurate is this and will it be 30 and humid or 30 and breezy?? Any advice please as planning a trip to London Zoo tomorrow and can't think it will be much fun in high temperatures and the animals go quite quiet in hot weather! thank you

For one day only, we're forecast to hit 29C tomorrow and it looks like the rest of the country is going to have a warm day too..... and then it cools down to more normal temperatures (20-21C) for the weekend.

Thanks, just seen forecast on BBC news, nightmare trip to Zoo tomorrow then.... warm egg sandwiches and tired animals....

It's been rain all day where I am but tomorrow is ment to be 28 full sun

valiumredhead · 31/07/2013 19:37

32 in London tomorrow I don't envy you! Only one day though, thank goodness.

digerd · 01/08/2013 05:45

The heatwave started suddenly yesterday in the afternoon. By 6pm it was really warm and humid again temperatue in shade zoomed to 26.. Thank goodness it is supposed to be hot for only 1 day, but what's that all about .

AugustaProdworthy · 01/08/2013 06:56

Well we've changed plans!
Woken up- not a cloud in sight and hot already.

19 degrees on my thermometer already and I'm about 15 miles from London Zoo.

digerd · 01/08/2013 08:53

They did promise us a strong breeze, but where is it? The doves are cooing - they love it. 28 in the shade of the sun.

valiumredhead · 01/08/2013 11:08

Hot here already but there is a strong breeze, our doors keep slamming!

GloriaSmud · 01/08/2013 11:42

28.1C with a strong breeze here (Leicester) as well ~ doors wedged firmly open!

valiumredhead · 01/08/2013 14:03

Thank God for the breeze, it's roasting!

GloriaSmud · 01/08/2013 14:59

My weather station's saying that it's 33.5C at the moment

alcibiades · 01/08/2013 16:05

OMG. I've been chillin' in my north-facing and therefore cool den until now. But I've just gone out into the garden to see if the bird bath needed topping up, and it was like walking into an oven.

My nearest on-line weather station reports temp of 31.4 and humidex of 38.7.

valiumredhead · 01/08/2013 16:54

I'm of your cool house ! 32 here

digerd · 01/08/2013 16:55

Yes there is a breeze, but only now and again and inbetween is much too hot for me and little dog. Indoors with doors open E and W and is tolerable. Went out to do some weeding in the shade but soon had to make a hasty retreat indoors. 31.6 atm- no clouds all day.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 01/08/2013 18:42

As you now know it was very accurate

ChippingInHopHopHop · 01/08/2013 18:46

:) It has been (is) a lovely day!!

OYBBK - what are you wise predictions for the weekend and next week?

digerd · 01/08/2013 20:46

It was the most suffocating air quality ever this evening at 6pm and still is. S.Herts.
28.4 degrees and still humid. Going to be a hard night to sleep.

valiumredhead · 01/08/2013 20:54

The wind has gone-so still now, just horrible. Going to sleep on the sofa tonight with the patio doors open!

GloriaSmud · 01/08/2013 22:14

Highest temperature today ~ 34C at 3.24pm. 25.3C at the moment ~ 'tis going to be an uncomfortably warm night.

It was only 25 in my bedroom at 9.30pm when i went to bed exhausted from the humid heat indoors, but managed to sleep well. Looks to be a 2nd day of the same. Hope it is cooler late evening and less humid than yesterday.
Highest temperature in the night ever at 27.5 in my sitting room. How much higher will it get today?

digerd · 02/08/2013 07:01

Sky clouded over during early morning dog walk and 19 degrees out now. SE

valiumredhead · 02/08/2013 10:07

Cool and cloudy today hooray. Night from hell though, we're all wrecked.
