Weather

Here comes the sun....

The sun has got his hat on
Hip Hip Hip Hooray....

Well not quite, but come tomorrow and onwards. Models show it hanging on right through the coming week and into the next Potential for storms perhaps later in the modelling period.

Not quite nice for all, especially to start where western areas and Scotland could see much cooler weather. South eastern and central England are currently looking to be the favoured hot spots. Sunday looks to reach mid to high 20's but cooling off a bit on Monday.

It actually looks like the best weather we've had for a few years I think (if you arent about to explode with baby or a hayfever sufferer). Happy days!

Tullahulla, approx where are you in the country? It will take a little longer for it to reach the west. western Scotland doesn't really see it get going.

Any reports from coastal areas? I'm wondering how the lower than average sea temp is affecting things? (mist? dank?)

Here in Bournemouth it is beautiful, no wind or anything , just sunshine.

HesterShaw · 05/07/2013 11:41

Mist and dank yesterday like you wouldn't believe, OYBBK. However the sun and wind got rid of it and today is sunny/cloudy and warmish. From tomorrow it looks proper warm and sunny. Hurrah!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 05/07/2013 11:58

hooray! that is good :) I hope it stays that way for you.

There are several patchy clouds now, I'm happy the air is still clear and not humid/close.

GloriaSmud · 05/07/2013 18:05

Highest temperature for us here (Leicester) today, was 28.4C about 45 minutes ago. Lovely weather

OhYouBadBadKitten · 06/07/2013 07:20

Very similar for us too - 29C. Thankfully the house is still relatively cool.
I reckon that tomorrow we will easily top 30C.

Latest gfs model run cools things down on the 19th. However for much of that week disappointing temps are shown for those in the SW, far west of Wales and much of Scotland.

OP posts:

HesterShaw · 06/07/2013 09:36

The models are lying

GloriaSmud · 06/07/2013 09:49

26.8C already here with a slight cooling breeze. 'Tis lovely.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 06/07/2013 21:37

Got to 30.3c today. Met office forecasts often seem to undercook temps in these conditions.

HesterShaw · 06/07/2013 21:53

They do, don't they? E.g. it was saying 17 degrees for here today. Er....no!

Meglet · 08/07/2013 12:20

I hope it doesn't cool down and start to rain when the kids break up from school. If it could stay like this until September I'll be happy.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 08/07/2013 20:52

Looks like this is going to continue into next week, not always quite so hot. However western areas could become rather cooler in comparison to late. Some signs of a slow breakdown later next week. Lets see what happens over the next few model runs.

7am dog walk was so chilly, I had to wear a jacket.
So hope the very fresh breeze will be just right for 3pm today.
Definitely more comfotable yesterday than Sunday's suffocating, airless heat. . Didn't sleep so well last night, until I opened the window at 1am. Night lowest temp was only 11 at 5am, but sitting room that gets most of the sun stayed at 25

Perihelion · 09/07/2013 16:27

28C in Edinburgh near the Forth.......I'm speechless and rather sweaty.

GloriaSmud · 09/07/2013 21:08

Perihelion ~ looks like Scotland was the hottest place in the UK today, although all the heat is causing problems with the railways.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 10/07/2013 08:43

A bit of respite for most for a couple of days and then Saturday looks super hot for many again (but not in the north of England or Scotland). A little cooler into next week - very pleasant actually, but then temps look to build up again.
Virtually no rain showing and this pattern is beginning to look set for a while (perhaps through to the end of the month maybe?????)

Perihelion · 10/07/2013 11:05

A lovely 16C now. Some cloud and Haar came in last night. Temp peaked at 29.5C in the shade in my garden. Can't imagine how grim it must have been waiting for a train at Waverly station, which has a glass roof

digerd · 10/07/2013 19:01

SE Much cooler today with a very cool wind. I took little furry dog for a walk at 6.30am, after just half a cuppa, as went out from 9-12 this morning dancing. The hall was freezing with the air-conditioning on and my hands were blue and yellow!!

After lunch I then slept for 2 hours . Just got back from the evening walkies and was refreshing. Nice not to feel flaked out with the heat. . Getting hotter again this weekend, oh dear. Please let there be a fresh breeze!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 10/07/2013 19:38

This weak cold front has been a bit of a relief hasnt it!
Was shocked at how wilted loads of my established plants were looking to day though. Its going to be a job and a half to keep up with the watering.

And my glorious climbing roses began to fade and drop off last Sunday, despite me watering them copiously
Still got loads though
Just hope Thames Water doesn't hit us with a hosepipe ban again

OhYouBadBadKitten · 10/07/2013 19:56

The aquifers are full, so they would be very very naughty to do so!

latest hydrological survey makes for really interesting reading on many levels.
