August forecast.

[megletthesecond]

Are there any hints of what may happen in August?

I'm torn between needing rain for the wildlife and farmers and wanting a hot and dry, and therefore easier, school holidays.

Ursula you need a bikini and short shorts for London, not a coat!

Gloria, it was the ECMWF 00z run showing those kind of temps, from around the 27th July. So towards the model run end and therefore low reliability, but worth keeping in the back of your mind, especially given ECMWF undercooks things.

35c is 95F
and you have to add five hours on to the time of day...

weather.us/model-charts/euro/great-britain/m0_temperature-f/20180727-1200z.html to see those charts. Control run.

We've had a little rain today on east coast. However for those wanting rain for farmers....the farmers don't want a wet August, I have farming friends & for those that grow crops warm & dry now is good, what they don't need is rain when they want to harvest crops.
Tho I'm sure wildlife would appreciate some rain....& I realise we haven't had as hot as most of the UK

It was supposed to be cooler and rainy today here.

My forecast on my phone said 22 degrees and it got up to 30.

No rain, but has been cloudy so we might get some yet.

I'm finding every week hints at more unsettled weather but it just doesn't seem to break.

Ah interesting. One to watch- will be interesting to see what the other weather models think in the next few days.

It's just started raining here.

Feels fabulous

Last Friday we had torrential rain for over an hour - it was blissful. Also a light shower a little while ago. Quite a breeze here now and actually feeling a little chilly sat outside in a sleeveless top!

I am going to be so cross if it starts raining just in time for the school holidays...

what is classed as high humidity,its 69% and feels muggy

It depends on the temperature flopsy. 'Feels like' temperatures adjust for humidity as well as wind speed. If you are out of the wind though it will feel higher obviously.

I'm really hoping it turns cooler for the school holidays, days out are really difficult in this heat, so much easier when it's a bit less hot.

NE now have hosepipe bans despite higher than usual groundwater heights.

Can I ask about 30th July to 3rd August yet or is it too far away to be reliable? We are camping in the Dalby Forest so obviously after the holy grail of perfect camping weather

Its the NW that have hosepipe bans isnt it, according to the news,i am in North east Yorkshire and no hosepipe ban here

yes sorry, NW. Silly me!

The Guardian have corrected their headline, to NW not NE ,im sure Dalby Forest will be fine
I am not far from there

That's where I picked it up from. doh.

It did say NE in the Guardian headlines,but apparently they corrected it,
I knew it was NW as my sister lives near Blackpool and she was telling me too

I was expecting sod's law to kick in, and fine sunny termtime weather in England to end when schools break up.

So I thought there might be change from next week. It doesn't matter when you set the term dates, btw. The weather just knows

Yes we have a hosepipe ban as all the water has been used putting out the moor fires.
