With no gradual build up occuring, today was a classic example of the blowtorch effect that can produce dramatic rises in temperature across a relatively short period.


It's even more marked here, as temps have already dropped to 17.4°C from a high of 30.2°C at 5:15pm. During home-grown hot weather the temperature is usually holding up into the 20's still. In this case, the blowtorch is shifting away east, with fresher air starting to work it's way in - but thanks to higher night-time humidity values (typical occurance) it's hardly noticeable yet in terms of comfort indoors.




Tomorrow IMBY looks to be anything from 20°C to 24°C depending on which model/forecasting institution you refer to... a one day roaster but perhaps very pleasant in the following days




Bournemouth can be fantastic when there's a blowtorch from the south, good to hear you had a good day Matty Abdul


Must say, I couldn't stop staring at my own arms after spending many hours cycling in strong sunshine. When working at home to distant deadlines, spotting a day like this almost a week in advance leads to very effective management of workloads Daresay I needed the break after the past couple of days, which had me indoors a lot of the time due to my arch enemy, Dr. Drizzle

I notice this thread still related to July and shouldn't we have a August heatwave thread open for heatwave events this month?

No, no August heatwave thread, and there's not a chance in hell of 95f tomorrow 🙄

Could rename the thread to Summer 2013 heatwaves.  I see how it goes tomorrow because now is 25C and clear skies so once the sun come up tomorrow with 20C uppers still around before dropping off that would give a shot on temps rising.

Jiries - why do you insist on adding 5C to everything? It's starting to get to me. There is no point to any of this if we can't make an effort to be accurate.

The hottest day of the year IMBY at 32.2c! BigGrin Approve Approve

Closest official station, Filton, registered 31c. Stunning.

So where was I? In Bournemouth as it turned out. Got the missus to swap the sweat of London for a day at the beach. A wonderful day it was too. I can't remember the last time I had a homegrown tan like this. I'm thinking of changing my name to Abdul.

Surprisingly last night got colder (15C) than Wednesday night (16C). The change must have happened during the early hours: it was still 23C at 11.30pm when I got home.

I was out in London last night and it really felt like being on holiday somewhere on the Continent - being able to drink outside bars in a T-shirt late into the evening. Why can't our climate be more like this all the time?

Well that was certainly a one-day wonder. Surprisingly chilly today in London at 22C even with the uppers still at 14-15C.

Recording 25.4C here with mostly sunny skies. Seems like our closest official station had heavy rain recently, and still has cloud. Not a heatwave, but higher than expected.
