I almost fell off my chair when I noticed Q had started this thread - It seems as likely as Matty starting one on snow depths


Anyway - good on you Q


As discussed on FB, I notice that the BBC automated thingy is projecting maxes for London at or in excess of 26'c all the way to next Friday.


Ambient conditions only really require some sunshine to get to very warm levels in the next fortnight so it will indeed be interesting to see how long we can keep a run of 25'c + maxes

23 in Edinburgh today but looks like a cooler spell is on the way up here. High teens at best up here and cool fresh nights. This may apply to NE England too. The hot spell looks like being limited to central and southern England and Wales

26.8c high today recorded with a Davis Vantage Pro2 with asp fan. Met office recorded 25c further up right on coast, 26c recorded at Norwich Airport and 26.6c at Buxton nearby which is an approved met office observation point. Overall very satisfied with my recorded max temp. 🙂

Reading some of the posts on TWO this summer, I'd think I lived on a different planet (OK, I do some of the time ).  This summer has been very good so far.  We've had very few days below 20c and last Saturday, when some had rain, we had a very warm, muggy uncomfortable day and night. 


We had a few thunder storms last month, which is always a bonus, but otherwise no rain to speak of.  I've been wearing shorts all summer and have a lovely tan, helped by a week in Lanzarote, but kept up by working in the garden most days in the sunshine, though some days it's been too warm to be out of the shade.


I do wish we had an official weather station close to us as I'm sure we have our own little micro climate.  I don't publish my own temp readings as neither of my weather stations have screened sensors and I know they read high, but other local stations get similar readings, so I know they're not a million degrees off.

27.8C at Gravesend today. 2nd warmest day of the year.


Tomorrow we should beat the 28.7C recorded at Weybourne on 4 July. Might just get to 30C somewhere tomorrow if we are lucky.

I actually hope it feels proper humid but not day in day out! seems to have been ages since the last real sweaty spell. Even last July here didn't feel all that humid - apart from one day when we went to Blackpool, there was an offshore wind and that really heats the town up, you'd think at the coast it was cooler but it felt really humid.

I personally don't pay a huge amount of attention to dew points, don't know why. I just look at the relative humidity against the temperature.

For me humid is when the humidity is at least 70%. Regarding the temperature for me it varies..
For example, Going out late evening early night (10pm maybe) when the temperatures up around (let's say) 20C and the humidity is 82% that to me feels humid, because it's at night.

During a heatwave the temperature has to exceed 27C with a relevant humid of at least 75% at the time for me to say it's proper humid.... But remember this
Is just my own personal take on what feels noticeably humid. 🙂 ;-)

Central London, are these official stations? I reckon the hot spots will be to the north of London. Though i image one of the usual dodgy met sites will get the "official" recordings.

We have 25C forecasted down here tomorrow, I can personally see that ending a couple degrees warmer or cooler depending on the sea breezes... But tomorrow night is going to be difficult, 20C minimum 😕 🙂

Speaking of which the temperature and humidity has risen! It was 18.5c earlier and now the temperature outside (at midnight) is almost +20c. So it will be a very close and uncomfortable night for sleeping tonight sadly.

Apparently it is still 22C there right now past midnight.

It's actually quite pleasant sitting outside after midnight when the temperatures are still in the low 20's, and it's not that uncommon during very warm weather. I love it, however I hate it when I have to work the next day.
There always seems to be a big drop in temperatures between 2am 4am, no matter where in the southeast you are, even London & the south coast towns.

For 7pm tonight it's expected (now) to still be 26C 🙂

I reckon an over night low of 21C in London would be a lot worse to cope with then an overnight low of 21C down here... In London the likelihood is it would be warmer by day meaning more trapped heat, also the air quality is much poorer, and probably less of breeze because it's all heavily built upwards.

I agree with those saying we had quite a few days in the high 20's during the first half of summer, but the second half wasn't nearly as good, though it was overall the best summer for a few years.  


This year, we've had day after day of low to mid 20's since late May and it's been so much more comfortable.  I'd rather it be like this for three months than have short bursts of discomfort when it's too hot to be out in the sun and you can't sleep at night.  Having said that, I'm looking forward to the next few days.

It's certaintly got that 'phwoar' factor today when stepping out of a heavily air-conditioned supermarket, for example! 


The main troublemaker in the near future in terms of how it feels will be very high humidity; tonight as the dewpoint reaches around 20*C in the SE while the dry-bulb temperatures (the ones you usually see on the forecasts) do the same, the very small difference will bring humidity right up to 100% or very near to it, which basically means that the air has no capcacity to take sweat away from your skin, robbing you of an important cooling mechanism.


I'm up for the challenge, even if it means losing important sleep during this busy period of my life.


I do feel sorry for those who feel unwell in these conditions, but unfortunately there's nothing that can be done beyond soldiering through it, ideally in an air conditioned room if you can mange it (I don't have that luxury, or even a window that opens very far).
