If I could find anywhere that would take my money, I'd gamble on the UK September temp record going this year.

Another day, another rise in temperatures - very disappointing for me, of course, but the heat-hounds should be happy.

We now have 30s on both Friday and Saturday, with overnight 18s - it's going to feel awfully sticky as a result, and I wouldn't want to be on the roads on Sunday! (Even heat-hounds tend to moan about the heat overnight, I've found).

It's an amazing change in just three days: on Sunday the forecasts were for 23 on Friday and 22 on Saturday, so they've gone up 7 and 8 degrees respectively. It is, however, consistent with what I was expecting: 14C 850s at this time of year in sunny conditions should result in 30C, give or take a degree.

The MetO raw also has 31s in places like Hammersmith on Friday, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a 32 lurking somewhere nearby.
Still nothing in the red-tops. Surely they've got to catch on soon!

I'll put my money on for 33.5 C this September (August, i think, unlikely to be above 29 C, but instead will be some violent thunderstorms).

Also worth keeping an eye on late July and August.

I notice that even Sunday is now showing 25C in London on the UKV.

Met showing 30c for Spalding on Friday and 28c Saturday, with the BBC going for a slightly lower temp Saturday along with a possible thundery breakdown.

Not had anything here this year above 21c and after this Friday for the next 10 days models/apps not showing anything above 18c, which is how we like it and why we moved to the North Cornish coast.  Daughter lives in Cambridge where temps are usually at least 5c above here in the summer.

Interesting to see how cool it is down there - I'm only half a mile away from a north-facing coast here, but it does bugger-all to keep things cooler these days!

Talking of which, the MetO raw now has 31C here on Friday, followed by a 19C minimum into Saturday. And Saturday... 29C now, instead of 30, but it'll be an incredibly sticky feel to things.

Funny thing is - an ice cream van came round yesterday evening, as a shower passed through. He got no customers. I suspect when one is really needed, i.e. Friday and Saturday, they'll be nowhere to be seen!

EDIT: Better late than never, the MetO have finally twigged it's going to get hot! They're using the term properly this time:

"Outlook for Friday to Sunday:
Settled weather with plenty of hazy sunshine over the coming days, staying dry aside from Saturday where there's a risk of showers, perhaps thundery. Warm or very warm, locally hot."

12Z output definitely looks like a step back from anything settled next week. GFS op run is average to poor, and the control is atrocious.

WX temp charts do not relent and continue to show the cooling effect of the N Atlantic all the way across N Europe for the next fortnight, with some remarkably cool conditions in W Russia in week 2. For Britain, SE England just hanging on to a little warmth (boosted perhaps by the one-off hot day on Friday)  but N Scotland cool - though, to be fair, neither far from long-term average. Rain fairly well distributed over Europe throughout, more near the N Atlantic in week 1, focus transferring to the Alps week 2.

GFS Op - starts with a couple of troughs moving across Britain projected from LP near Iceland (this weekend, Thu 25th), then a short spell of settled weather around Tue 30th (1020mb covering Britain) before another Atlantic trough Fri 2nd. This last trough sits off NW Scotland and promises some warm and humid air brought up from the S to much of England.

ECM -similar to GFS, though the trough on the 25th  is a weaker affair.

GEM - similar to GFS but a different handle on the trough on the 25th - weaker as in GFS but persisting into the weekend.

GEFS - warm now (at least in the S), just on the cool side for the rest of month, then slowly warming. Very little rain in the S, more persistent and to some extent heavier towards the NW; many areas away from the SE showing a one-day peak Sun 21st.

One thing that's been persistent all through this so-far dreadful summer is high pressure over the Barents and Kara Seas, the Novea Zemlya archipelago, and the far north of Russia.

It's blocking the normal progression of lows and stopping the summer PV from troughing south in that region (so it's instead troughing over NE Canada/Greenland)

Looking at a handful of previously good summers, high pressure in that area is mostly absent (with a dominance of the summer PV troughing there)

No Iberian HP persisting over Spain and Portugal that gave them very dry warm to hot end of winter as done in 2023.
SSW must not occur again.
If both not happened then we safely get a warmer Spring to settled warm to hotter drier summer with short unsettled spells.
If both does occur again then we know a bad year again ahead for 3rd year running.

Not bad 12s really certainly better than most of Summer so far. Azores HP having more of an influence.  AAM is above neutral now this is seemingly helping push the Azores HP our way more. It's quite fragile though so could go Pete Tong .

WX temps offering a little more warmth for N Europe in week 1, with SE England up to the N Baltic areas which particularly benefit from this; Scotland and W Russia still cool. Then a step back in week 2 with the isotherms slipping back south and any real warmth staying S of the Alps. Rain patchy across N Europe in week 1 (Spain still dry) but moving to N Scandinavia in week 2, Britain becoming dry.


GFS Op - trough moving E-wards across all of Britain at the weekend, then a slight rise of pressure before another  trough (weaker, and  S England less affected) moves across Fri 26th. HP then establishes firmly for Britain 1025mb Mon 29th and pressure remains quite high to Sun 4th, though somewhat dented by LP moving to Scandinavia Fri 2nd with a spell of NW-lies.


ECM - similar to GFS though the HP Mon 29th is centred further N and SE England may be affected by continental LP.


GEM - The trough shown on GFS for the 26th sticks over Scotland and then backs off to the NW with fresh SW-lies for Britain as a whole  and HP centred no closer than E France


GEFS -  temps dropping to cool side of norm Sun 21st - 28th, then less agreement between ens members with mean near norm. Rather dry in the SE, a few runs provide splashes of rain there; in a band from SW to NE the splashes of rain are more frequent and in the NW happening all the time. 

Sorry about the earlier formatting - thought I had that under control!

I was feeling more optimistic this morning. Both the ECM and GFS offer more northern ridging of high pressure with even the chance of our own anticyclone sitting nicely over the UK! 
But the GFS average still shows heights reluctant to build east from the Azores which means there is a definite risk of a continuation of the July weather we've seen so far. All in all though, the models appear to be showing more opportunities for some warm, dry weather.
