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.

  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.

The sun then came out later on in the morning and all it's done was made it feel very hot and muggy as it reached 30 C in the afternoon under clear skies. The next day (which was a Tuesday) also turned out fine and sunny with 30 C temperatures but wasn't as humid and then slowly and gradually the heat eased off as we wore into the rest of the week until eventually it was down to normal values for the time of the week by the weekend but there wasn't a sniff of thunder reported.
  The July 19th July '06 tried to give off one or two storms as that hot spell broke down in the evening, much to my relief, but it was very isolated stuff (a couple of flashes over the Channel and that was it).

Most of the rain fell from 9.35 - 9.47 am GMT. Along with large hail, there was a 9C temperature drop in just 1/2 hour, and a 3 mbar pressure jump. Trees were blown down, and there were reports of tornadoes

and just in from the met office


Outlook for Monday to Wednesday


Becoming hotter and more humid in most areas.


Mostly fine at first, but isolated heavy showers or thunderstorms in the southwest extending northeastwards and becoming more frequent by mid week.


Bring it on I say


Cheers !

I don't get why news reports are saying it could reach as high as mid 30s next week? All I see with the models including UKMO is rain for some parts as early as Monday.

"Temperatures next week could get as high as the mid-30s, Mr Avery said."

I don't see why the ECM charts could not produce low 30s before it all breaks down by Thursday or so - uppers are still projected to be quite high until Wednesday, up to 16C in a few isolated spots, 12 - 14 elsewhere, which is high enough to produce low 30s given clear skies. I think low 30s is possible on Monday and Tuesday.

In other words - the models do show it, but with relatively low probabilities.

Well, the Met have upgraded Tuesday's temperatures from 25C to 27C, and they have a tendency to undercook temperatures.
