Striking difference in temperature between 20 miles down here. Left Portsmouth half hour ago from the north of the city via train to Chichester and it must be a at least 3C cooler.

In fact GFS seems to want to go for the sustained but not record breaking heat option. S England top temps from today 29, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 27, 28, 30, 33.


And zero precipitation up to 246h

Look at the bottom graph on this link: https://apps.ecmwf.int/webapps/opencharts/products/opencharts_meteogram?base_time=202207080000&epsgram=classical_15d_with_climate&lat=51.4712&lon=-0.452714&station_name=Heathrow


 


The red line is the 99 percentile from climatology (basically a 1 in 100-year event for any given day). The fat part of the bar is the 75th percentile of the model run. So on the July 18th, the 75th percentile is about 3 degrees above the "1 in 100 year" level. Something like 35% of the model runs are above that level.

Yesterday was the first of what looks like being well over a week of 40C+ days across Iberia, with 40.6C at Moron de la Frontera in Spain.

GFS max modelled temperatures for Portugal and/or Spain from today:

42C, 44C, 43C, 43C, 44C, 44C, 40C, 40C, 38C, 40C.

That's what "may" be headed our way.

Do we reckon that 20-25c 850Hpa temps in Summer are the equivalent to -15c- -20c 850 temps  in winter ?

Without wishing to antagonise anyone, has anyone seen Matt Hugo's latest tweet?
I'm not getting at him in any way, but he seems to think the rise in AAM was much lower than anticipated and he expects a more unsettled second half of July.
To be honest, who knows, but Matt seems to be quite convinced that this spell won't last too long.

Come on 40C do it this year.

I think someone must have stolen the Stevenson screen at Leconfield - it’s reporting 29.4C at 1pm.

Highest legit figure seems to be 26.1 at St James’s Park.


38.5C and rising at Evora in Portugal.

Actually the GEFS P4 shows a scenario that is less than 2C shy of the all time world record of 54.0C in France of all places.


And yes the 56.7C is BS in my opinion, faulty thermometer 100 years ago.

54.0C is the actual world record.

I had thought we might start the heatwave today, the threshold here is 27c for three consecutive days.  It had risen quickly to 25c before midday but it’s still at 25c.


It’s actually a perfect summer’s day with some light high cloud and a gentle breeze.
