Edit. The 0z ECM is certainly hotter.

Trust me, there are plenty of us for whom it's not a "jizzfest" - temperatures that high aren't fun with our buildings which really aren't designed for it! Thank goodness for a/c, is all I can say. (Similar temperatures abroad tend to be in areas used to the heat.)


Anyway, the Met Office's raw output continues to be warmer for longer than the other models are showing.


For example, MetO has the following highs for Heathrow from tomorrow:


28 / 37 / 33 / 30 / 31 / 33


The ECM, meanwhile, has the following instead: (https://weather.us/forecast/7284876-heathrow/ensemble/euro)


25 / 32 / 24 / 26 / 24 / 27


GFS is all over the place, of course, but the 0z shows:


27 / 32 / 27 / 23 / 23 / 26


ECM and GFS are broadly similar. The Met Office? Far, far warmer... It's as if it's running at a much higher resolution (like AROME etc), but AFAIK UKV doesn't go out that far!

Subtle changes in this EC run make for higher temps throughout with 6-7 days of 30s. Some very warm nights next week too.


Highest gridpoint temps starting from tomorrow in this run: 29, 32, 32, 31, 34, 34, 34, 27.

Besides the MetO above, the BBC last night was in general agreement, though with a welcome suggestion of thunderstorms midweek next week (Never mind the spectacle, we need the rain!)


GFS: The long-predicted SW-NE ridge of HP setting up tomorrow and persisting to Tue 11th when LP drifts up from the S and the ridge retreats to the Atlantic Thu 13th though still affecting the UK and re-establishing with a more W-E orientation Mon 17th. LP continues to flirt with southern UK from time to time; likewise E coasts occasionally affected by cool breeze of the N Sea when the HP is weaker.


GEFS: In the S, temps like yesterday with 5-7C above average to Thu 13th, then return to a little above norm to Fri 21st. Some much bigger spikes of rainfall Sun 9th - Mon 17th but no agreement between runs as to when. In Scotland consistently above average though not as extreme as S England, and a brief dip below normal Sun 9th. Again intermittent random spikes of rain, not so big as further S. N England in between.


ECM; keeps the original ridge of HP in place to Sat 15th but more aligned over the north of the UK, with more definite incursions of LP affecting the S from time to time.

Definitely the best spell of the summer coming up with some consistent high temperatures. Hopefully losing that nagging cool NW wind for a while too.
Whilst this time the extreme heat is a SE only thing, looks like some nice weather across many parts.

Seems that things have trended back to a more prolonged hotter spell, more so in the south.

Looking beyond the 'heat record' jizzfest for SE'ers, there's an interesting pattern emerging of pressure being persistently high just to the north of the British Isles. Models are mostly not showing a particularly dry spell for any prolonged period, sadly, with latest GFS, for instance, wanting to position a horrible low over the southern half of the UK, spinning fronts northwards, but the general set up reminds me of the first half of the 2018 summer, where persistent easterlies gave the best weather in the west.


I'd love a bone dry August from here on out.

06zs so far looking similar to 00z. ICON a bit hotter, GFS up to Sat pretty identical if not a tad hotter on Sat.

The real fly in the ointment with all models at the moment seems to be cloud amounts (ie North Sea muck) and cool marine layer next week. Hence low maxes especially in the Midlands despite high 850s. Similar to the situation in late June last year. Low cloud is notoriously hard to model so temps could be all over the place particularly on Monday-Wednesday.

Well up to 237 hrs GFS 06z is rather lovely. Hot for several days with no real cool down, then chance of a few thunderstorms from midweek, then a freshening but with high pressure. Hope it's indicative of GEFS too.

...though the last week is filled with a lot of Easterly muck. The charts themselves look very comely, quite June 2018-esque, but the cloud levels and surface temps are poor, 18-20C.

Seems really unsettled with heavy rain showers and Thunderstorms next week ?

GFS has almost dropped next weeks drop in 850s, but instead has really ramped the rainfall spikes. Will probably moderate those closer to the time as well.

Poor from the GFS.

I'm liking the pattern for the week after next on that GFS run, as I am going to the Lake District. High pressure would be most welcome.

I accept that the mean is only a mathematical output from everything thrown in, but it reflects a signal and saves me having to list all the hot outcomes individually- there are plenty! For example, on Tuesday 11th, there are no less than 14 Ps suggesting 32°C+ here.

Just spoke to a large baling contractor and he gets a private forecast at this time of year and that was turning much wetter in the south next week. I think he said the north would be drier though.

Seriously though, there are some good thundery options for the south next week although that probably means huge rainfall variation

iPhone App has really ramped you the temperatures for next week. Low 30s up until Tuesday.

If that’s punctuated by Thunderstorms late to mid afternoon that’s perfect in my book.
