to think the heatwave may finally be over?

[mindymoo11]

I have suffered the last three days in the South East. It is 30 degrees where I am today. I'm suffering! And its been in the high twenties all week. I haven't slept with fans on.

However looking at the weather forecast, its dropping to a lovely 21 degrees next week. Is that the end of it?

The temperatures are forecast to go up again next week.
It's still roasting in the SW.

No sign of it dropping where I am (although maybe 28/29 is dropping).
But there is some much needed rain coming in.

SW is still hot. Not 34degrees hot like the other week but still late 20’s hot.

21C predicted here from Mon/Tues next week - South coast

I might finally get some outdoor work properly finished 🙏

Today it's been the hottest its been all week in my town.

Why cant we have a summer that enjoy its so unfair. So we will have nine months of crap cold rainy weather, and then three months where its too hot to enjoy it

23 predicted here from Sunday and most of next week

I’m currently in my bedroom with the air con on. It was cooler yesterday but back to awful today. I agree that it just seems to have gone from complete grey, rain and cold to far too hot with none of the steps in between.

Not in the southwest. Hot weather continues. Humidity feels high too.

I’m assuming there will be 6 weeks of rain starting next week ☔️

Because of climate change caused by us humans - we’re reaping the consequences of our actions!

It will be cooler next couple weeks. But after that? And long term? I understand that we should expect these warmer temps in summer now.

I heard a climate scientist on a podcast yesterday say ‘this will probably be one of the coolest summers in our life time’ 😱

We’ve got August to get through yet.

Surrey here:

The heatwave definitely isn't over. It will be more seasonal at the weekend (25C), but will then be back up to 29C+. There is also no prospect of rain at all.

The big difference between this week and a fortnight ago, is that the temp drops overnight and it's a slow build up to 29C, not really getting hot until the afternoon.

BBC news say that Met Office advise this is the new norm. I know you want a link but I can't be arsed because I'm too fucking hot. Find it yourself 😅

Nah, wishful thinking mate. The heatwave is not going to end anytime soon. Or if it does, there will be another one on the way. It's still July!

I assume rain once all children are on school holidays.

Of course it bloody is. Schools are about the break up so naturally the weather is going to be shit for exactly 6 weeks, when an ‘Indian summer’ will return just as everyone is back to school again.

I’m term time only and it pisses me off every year. Wish the summer holidays were in June and July.

SW here too and it's been between 28⁰ and 31.5⁰ according to the car today. Really muggy too. I'll believe it when I see it - though usually the kids breaking up from school is the catalyst for 6 weeks of rain...

I’m also in the south east and on the 19th it drops to 24, past that it’s between 27 and 29 each day for the next ten days and rhe forecasters are saying it will hit 36 again. So no. I don’t think it’s over.

I'm going camping next week. It's bound to rain.

I'm in the southwest and I tried going for a walk today. Big mistake. Huge. I lasted ten minutes before seeking out an ice cream and heading home. 27C here, according to the weather forecast but I would say it's more.

I'm in the SE and it definitely looks like it's cooling off tomorrow and into the weekend. More importantly over night temperatures are going down to the low to mid teens, which allows buildings to lose the heat they've absorbed during the day. Hope it lasts.

I am in yorkshire and we have had temperatures between 24 and 27 degrees this week. The nights have cooled down to the low teens though. At least i have been able to get quite a bit done in the morning before it gets too hot.
