Bournemouth and Northolt now at 28C. I officially declare this heatwave OPEN.

Hopefully somewhere will sneak a 29 or 30 later.

Cordoba looks like the European champ today with 41.1C, a little below the GFS max forecast.

Matt Hugo on Twitter is really bullish about summer essentially being over after this upcoming heatwave is over.
I've never seen him quite so confident but says signs are ominous for a poor late July and rest of summer.
Surely we're not going to get another bad August?

Looking a decent prolonged spell of weather coming up, especially the South...


Really do need some rain again soon though!

No sure how you can be a climate change sceptic and a meteorologist . But if it's just about media hyping things then that's a bit different.

In a way the weather is always fighting against the climate for supremacy. If you specialise in the weather perhaps you want it to win. 


Anyway back on topic…and the low cloud has come over.
