Have you seen the weather forecast for next week?!

[TokyoSushi]

Looks like it's going to be hot hot hot!! Does that look right Ohyoubadbadkitten & Gloria

@ItsTheGloaming ~ Is that from next Saturday? If so (and this is a bit far ahead to be certain), there's a bit of a NW/SE split developing this week, that means the NW could get some rain. At the moment, it doesn't look like it's going to be a total wash-out the week after but you could see some wet stuff while you're there. Temperature- wise, at the moment ranging from 15-20C

Stripyhoglets ~ whereabouts are you in N.Wales this week?

@GloriaSmud, yes we go on the 28th for a week, don't mind it being cooler, we hope to tackle Scarfell Pike, but just pray it's not too wet!

@ItsTheGloaming ~ You'll probably be OK then. It might just be a question of dodging showers/choosing a dry day to do walking.

It is supposed to be cloudy and 21 C here today- north-east. It was blazing sunshne when we woke up and our yarden has been 29C since about 11am. It is unbearable. Even under the trees in the shade is unbearable. We have the paddlng pool full under the trees and DH has been spraying a cold hosepipe around it. He and DS have been rolling in it in swimshorts and t shirts. DD (15m) and I are indoors with two electric fans.It is far too hot for her. It is just awful.

Out garden is on two levels and I have only been on the top paved level all week. I just went down to water the tubs on the lower (grass/moss) level and it is crunchy underfoot. Even the damp corner where toads sometimes lurk is dry and yellow. Hopefully they have found somewhere more congenial to wait out the drought.

Our grass is mostly like this at the moment. The lavender is looking a bit healthier today but only because I chucked some water over it last night and this morning.

A few pictures on the BBC website ~ the effect of the heatwave on the landscape.

GFS is going for 37C at the beginning of August in the SE.

37?!

I'm getting that 'feeling', the same one as when we were going through this years cold weather of 'when does it end.' Similar to then, this weather was nice when it started but now it's all a bit uncomfortable and there's a 'looking for rain' search in each model run.

Yes 37 in this country, with no aircon in houses will be horrific.

It will cost lives.

If it comes off of course.

How likely is it that it will reach 37?

But surely with the schools breaking up this week and a uk camping holiday planned it will start peeing down at 3pm on Wed?

This is mine:

I mowed the lawn yesterday!

Well some of it anyway. I have a huge amount of trees, my garden is more woodland than regular garden so the grass under the trees is staying a little green.

37? I couldn’t tolerate that. DH bitches and moans at 25.

The 37C is next week (if it happens). This week many parts in the south, central and eastern parts could see 30C every day.

TheWeatherOutlook thinks this could be the hottest week of the year so far.

37?!?! Dear god no.

Surely it can't be safe for people to commute to work in those temperatures.

Today's thoughts from Netweather.

Metoffice have issued a Heat Health Watch ~ Level 3 for some areas from today - Friday.

Metcheck were earlier today forecasting 39c for next week in my area but has now changed to 35c.

Where are you FatBellie?
