A new trusim has emerged:


Whenever the Met Office Tweet about another record temperature being reached somewhere, the first reply will be from someone (generally with a union jack next to their name) dismissing it as wrong/a conspiracy.

If, as some have claimed, the front is further west than expected then it means the highest temps will be even an hour later than projected (and could be higher).

4 39Cs in my heat watch zone. So even more 40s triggering soon I suspect.

Bbc weather saying 42c expected this afternoon along the A1 corridor.

It really feels much hotter than yesterday, quite surreal.

Extraordinary. Time for climate change deniers to shut up for good. There can no longer be any debate that AGW is real. Maybe global warming denial should be made a criminal offence - these people represent an existant threat to the future of humanity and the urgent need to tackle climate change.

Absolutely staggering

Just sit and reflect for a moment. Think yourself back to June. Moomin claiming summer was over etc…

But that aside, just think back to then. If someone had told you the UK was going to smash 40c this summer or any summer soon you’d have probably thought they were nuts

We’ve had such a long and well modelled (important to mention that) build up to this it almost feels normal. It’s not. It’s deeply concerning, but also bewildering

New heat surge has arrived here in the SE Kent in association with that 850 heat bump and direct continental flow. After 45 mins levelling off at 34.9c we are back on a steady increase, currently 35.3c


35.3 / 15.6 / 30%.

I think the front is further west, that's why its warmer in the SE and colder in the NE. THe NE has more of a sea influence.


But it also means that in the next few hours as the front approches things will become ball blazing in the Lincs/Yorks area. This is still the place to watch, but it is delayed by an hour or so.
