Here in Fulham it is currently breezy with a strong Easterly breeze and currently 25 degrees…it certainly does not feel hot or humid as at 8.30pm on 11th August 


I think the 4 day heatwave modelled by The Met Office in our part of the country may not measure up to the projected highs they are currently forecasting until Sunday of course time will tell ….

The max was 34.2 AFAIK and several stations broke 33. I think GFS had a 34 grid point today so more or lees bang on. The maxima have been dialled back a degree or two for Sunday, with Saturday now looking like the hottest day with 36 or possibly 37.

This feels a much different heat to earlier in the summer. Much dryer and less humid.

The look and feels of the sunshine and sky today is something I'd more associate with May or early June.

Looks like a few blowtorch runs appearing in the last third of August.

GFS seems much keener to bring high pressure back in this morning (based on op run).

ECM not as high pressure dominated as last night but still not bad.

UKM possibly the least settled of the three for next week but still looks a long way away from the “trough parking over the UK” scenario at the moment.

Autumn might have to wait a bit longer.

The outlook looks very reasonable.


The real heat starts to ebb away from Monday as a flabby area of low pressure (of southern origins) slowly develops to sit over the UK by the middle of next week. Risk of heavy convective (unreliable) rainfall, particularly inland. Many coasts dry. Very warm at first and humid, edging back to the warm category by the end of the week. (except in any rain of course).


Finally the chance of some significant rainfall for the SE Thurs/Fri as the, by then, more developed trough of low pressure edges east ahead of another rise in pressure signifying a potentially very warm and sunny period, especially for England and Wales.


Very encouraging for a continuation of what is now an incredible summer.

ECM ensemble mean looks better than the op, but it does look like some heavy rain even for the SE this week.


All that was needed was a drought to be declared! The media will of course call for an end to restrictions when the rain hits

How things have changed this summer. Normally we’d be speculating now on whether the all time high record could go in the next few days. Now it’s already been absolutely obliterated, it’s not been so much as mentioned. The bar has been raised.

It is remarkable though that a spell of 4-5 days of mid-30s is effectively just a footnote.
