photobucket is rather temperamental .. Try again 

Tomasz Sch ... you-know-who on Weather for the Week ahead last night showing tropical storm Bill linking up with low over Canada (as mentioned, I think, in one of Stormchaser's posts elsewhere) leading to a forecast of warm and humid air being drawn up from the south to the UK as ex-Bill takes up position off Ireland in 7-10 days' time - but withcautionary note that models don't handle tropical disturbances at all well when they reach the Atlantic.

'Warm and humid' - promising for a thundery breakdown shortly after? Here's hoping for a good storm or two.

I wouldn't get too excited about max temps here around 18c, just think we're near the equinox now and the sun will start losing it's strength in a few days time!

Becoming rather unsettled through Sunday and into next week with a band of cloud and rain moving across the UK. Parts of the southeast will hang onto the warmer and drier conditions, whilst northwestern parts will see persistent, and at times heavy rain and stronger winds. Another drier interlude later Monday and into Tuesday for the majority of the UK, although it looks likely that further spells of rain will push in from the southwest midweek. This trend continues through the remainder of the period with further unsettled spells interspersed with drier, brighter conditions, with the best of the drier weather always in the south and east. Temperatures will generally be warm in the southeast, perhaps very warm for a time, but nearer normal in the northwest.

Guess you forgot to highlight this part, Stone Cold.

Though their use of 'southeast' and 'northwest' is rather ambiguous - especially for those of us who live in neither the southeast or the northwest!

UK weather: Heatwave expected across the nation

H Willets mentionng getting to 30c next week but only for the SE

Fantastic outlook. This could be the best summer for many years

I'm not predicting thunderstorms. Too hit and miss. I am predicting people will soon be moaning about not being able to sleep. !00% reliable prediction every time the mercury rises. Bring on the heat! 

The past two haven't been too shabby...  Though both 2013 and 2014 lacked a good August... I think 2015 might rectify that though.

True.  I love seeing people all irritable, getting into fights, and having accidents, because they haven't had a proper night's sleep in ages

Even in the hottest weather in this country it rarely stays above 20C at night. Hardly sweltering, is it? 

I saw something from Las Vegas recently showing the temperature of numerous surfaces.. tarmac was heated to 167F! That burns human skin instantly. Dry heat can be easier than humid heat but with a high sun angle combined with very clear skies, the sun will be absolutely searing. It's a different kind of heat entirely - and not necessarily more pleasant.

Leeds has never had a 20C night so no worries there. Even if it rises to 33C, it falls away quickly after midnight. Our warmest is usually 17-19C.

Can't believe a thread started in Feb is still going! Anyway, i used to do nightshift and found it easy to get to sleep in a flat with no through drafts during the day in west London when it was +30c outside. In fact, the wife would come to wake me and I'd be wrapped up in the duvet. Getting to sleep was so much easier because it was at its coolest at that time of day.

Hot air on the way for the middle of next week

30c mid week, uncertain how hot and how long it will last for

They do in my house! (hic)

Can't have people having fun, or daring to remove their winter flannel PJs, can we! 

Is the later a precipitant of the former?
