Will the heatwave from southern Europe come here?

@youbadbadkitten ant idea?? Worried here and you are the weather oracle.

Jesus, how stupid do you have to be to hope the uk reaches 40 degrees?

hopefully kitten will be along soon, but I believe that the Jetstream is “stuck” at the bottom of the UK and the current weather conditions are expected to continue into August

God I hope not. I was in India for work reasons a couple of years ago when it was 45 degree Celsius most days. It was unbearable. This is extreme heat, causes so much damage.

@orangeleavesinautumn of course I 'realise'

Adverse weather kills and numbers will likely increase yearly

That goes for cold weather as well.

I was giving birth that day 😫😫

Sure, that's probably why you don't see people hoping for extreme, damaging cold weather.

It's odd that people hope for extreme, damaging hot weather though isn't it?

I’ve heard nothing about August. I hope we stay cool.

With regard to crop damage: we are currently unable to get in the UK harvest due to poor weather. Soon crops will deteriorate with the constant rainfall (damage is probably already starting to occur). A heatwave here would be fantastic to get the combines rolling!

No sign of anything resembling a heatwave up to end of July at least. And thank heavens for that. Feeling very grateful for our showery windy weather at the moment

Oh behave yourself.

I really hope not and you’d have to be fucking dense to think otherwise. About 60,000 excess deaths in Europe last year wasn’t it? And this year’s heatwave is likely to be worse.

So am I

@NuffSaidSam

Haha you do get people wanting the colder weather tho.... they can't bloody wait to get out the blankets,throws,pumpkins and candles! Everyone on snow watch for weeks....

Let's pray it doesn't. Remember the serious fires we had last summer?!

The cold wet weather is damaging crops right now.

The farmers aren't.

I hope so, rain is bloody miserable!

I have a weather enthusiast cousin and he's informed me that we're not expected to have any more heatwaves this Summer and that temps are predicted to be below average or average in August 💁

Tbf I am a bit like this! But I don't want extreme cold, just an Autumnal nip in the air.

I'd also quite like a bit of sun, but not 40+ degrees.

I’d quite like it a bit drier and a bit warmer but I don’t want the extreme heat they’re getting in Southern Europe. I

Oh really?

Please elaborate.

dod you learn nothing last year when it was 40c? Well I did. I ended up suffering heatstroke and was admitted to hospital.

It terrified me. I didn’t go outside that day. Our house is lovely and cool on a hot summer day. I still ended up very ill.

Houses were catching fire ffs.

So, what is it I need to educate myself about?

Really? You hope for temperatures in mid to high 40s? 🤔

Exactly. It is hard to understand how people have not grasped this yet, and the number of posters on here saying ‘bring it on’.

I read a few days ago that its unlikely we'll see a repeat of last year with record temps as meteorologist would be seeing signs of it already but they're not. 🤞 as I hated it last year.
