Looking through the charts took a lot of time...Did like the high pressure on GFS....So good month for sun into August is well liked...School summer holidays will be okay to start off with...

Thanks - that's an excellent compliment Martin. Much appreciated.

GFS has a thin strip across southern England of around 33-34 degrees for tomorrow (going by the colouring rather than the numbers). Somewhere could scrape a 35 on the basis that the GFS is quite low resolution 

Was thinking that too hopeful partner wont go crazy earlier on in school holidays as no need to be indoors like last year was also thinking about booking another hoilday in uk this time for wind surfing in August, thinking I will  might do so at the mo always did love Holywell bay.

no chance matt. possibly a 32 but cant see any more than that.

Well I reckon somewhere might scrape a 33 but that GFS for tomorrow is impressive!

My guess for the highest temperature for July in the prediction thread was 31.4 degrees and that is bang on so far but I can't see it lasting long

GFS showed 32 and 33 a couple of times on the high-res charts for last weekend and in the event the highest was 31.4C. Having said that who knows what the highest temps would actually be if there were official recording stations in every town of the UK. With such a sparse recording network there's no way we actually see the highest temperatures "officially".

NAE show's 31C for London tomorrow, so somewhere around there may scrape a 32

The weekend is my bet for more widespread 30s as the high builds and moves north

Hi all,

Here's todays video update;

July Heat Followed By August/September Look-Ahead;

Temps look to peak tomorrow, then slide down a bit (still very warm) before potentially building again early next week when it could become very hot!

BBC latest video forecast said 32 today and 33 tomorrow. There goes my prediction then

Start of next week looks very hot indeed

Yeah, the GFS has consistently looked very hot as we head into next week after a slightly cooler weekend (though warmer for the north). Would love a Spanish Plume so we could smash some records but don't see that happening. Will have a look at Gavin's video later.

Agreed Matt - I think 33'C is well within range tomorrow. Locally a tad warmer here today and tonight will be hotter giving a higher starting point. Classic heatbuild scenario

I think that there will be a fair 'down pour' in the Bristol area on Monday...

29.7 at Heathrow so far. Going to have to go some over the next few hours to reach 32 but at least my guess in the prediction thread would last another day

Whew... busy day today, only managed to sneak a peak at the GFS 00z this morning, noting the continued trend towards a later breakdown.

Catching up now and the ECM 00z is a sight to behold, all thanks to energy SW of Greenland going SE from day 4 to day 5 rather than NE - the kind of late adjustment that we've often seen with sliding lows in winter, except that it's occuring way out to our west and the effects for the UK are to boost our high pressure by supporting it from beneath rather than applying pressure on it from above. The result is proper high pressure dominance right out to day 10 combined with the trough near the Azores threatening to pump up some even hotter air to the UK .

Then the 06z GFS op run came into agreement regarding that energy SW of Greenland . What a morning it must have been to watch unfold, shame to have missed it

Well described Stormchaser  My mouth is watering at the prospect of even hotter air. If anything is missing from this glorious weather spell, it's some real hot heat!

It would be astonishing if it gets hotter as it currently feels like I am abroad, a real hot dry heat day after day. The output today is brilliant if you like hot weather. 

Couldn't agree more, baking hot, grass going brown, lovely nights on the deck supping a cold beer in a warm breeze. But looking at the models it is certainly possible that it will get hotter. I would be very surprised if somewhere in the UK didn't hit +32C or even +33C at some point in the next 7 days.
