Bit of an odd forecast from Ian Fergusson. Mentioned even hotter weather next week, but the graphics showed cooler temps than we've had most of this week.

It's like, the Aug 11th 2003 and July 19th 2006 heatwaves both ended peacefully because of a simple cold front moving down from the north where humidity was low at all levels. As a result there were none of the fireworks associated with instablity.
Whereas next week a low pressure system hanging off to the south west of the UK is going to have the effect of drawing in hot and moist air in from the near Continent so not only it'll bring in much more unstable conditions, it's going to make it quite hot and humid over the South East for a time . . . yes, even here at this end of Kent . . . at least before eventually the cooler and fresher Atlantic air finally takes over later on in the week to bring a sense of normality to things.
But that's my take on it all.
