Some curiously high figures coming in from more rural locations around the south, particularly on some of the apps. I don't know how they're generated? Computer models? I'm putting many of the higher declarations here down to warm brickwall syndrome, but even with that, it's very interesting how the distribution of the heat is working out today. With the 850s in the south so high form the beginning, the heat island effect isn't as pronounced it seems. I wonder if the gap will open up as the afternoon goes on though.

Either way, I'd say a 35C is looking likely somewhere this afternoon. Last July's race for the record was ruined by cloud, and not that a cloudy 37C isn't something to experience in it's own right, but the sky is gin clear out there this morning!

It's odd how patterns come round in clusters isn't it. Second year running we get a searing heatwave out if virtually nothing and hit what looks likes mid 30s from a standing start. Hopefully unlike last year this won't be the sum total of summer.

Last July things actually looked much better set up: weeks on end of record breaking temperatures on the near continent, very dry soils from Northern France downwards. Yet the best we got was the occasional waft into the far South East.

Good opportunity to test Metoffice secret models (+ human input) vs public domain. 


Key difference Metoffice predicts 35C


All public domain models predict 32C (maximum) (channel islands excluded)


 


Who will be right? Honestly I don't know; and think it will be interesting to see.

I don't post on here much - only if there is a cold wintry spell of snow or heat wave in summer!

I almost thought this would be the first summer in years that we don't hit the +30c mark somewhere in the UK.

Also I note that the BBC weather are upgrading this heat wave. First it was +32 maybe +33c Yesterday the forecast for today - is for temperatures to hit 34 or 35c and most recently saying we could hit 36 or even +37c in a few spots (which can't be ruled out).

I look forward to seeing the maximum recorded.

Specifically:


Metoffice: 35C


ECMWF: 32C


AROME: 32C


EURO4: 32C (again this is the mets own model, is the UKV drastically different or is this a human input thing)


WRF: 32C


GEM: 32C


ARPEGE: 32C


NASAGEO5: 31C


FIM: 31C


ICON: 31C


NAVGEM: 30C


UKMO: 30C (obviously not their super duper hi res model but still; even their own medium term model not going for 35)


GFS: 30C (~32C when correcting for low temp bias)


CMA: 29C


CFS: 26C ()


 


FYI these are rounded down so something like 32.7C wouldn't be all that unsuprising.


So who will be right then, literally every model that I can get my grubby hands on, or the UKV+metoffice boffin human input?


If this was a bookie thing I'd be willing to give these odds.

Just for fun I'm going to back the models over the met; just because the support for a 32-33C maximun is overwhelmingly consistent (even among the mets own models). If we get 34C then its a case of split the difference.


So I'm calling 32.7C the maximun reached today.

Nearly 33C here now and at least is a starter course for me before I jet off to Jerusalem tomorrow early morning which mean to go to the airport at 23C minimum.  At least I won't miss the hottest day today before I go but I hope to see more heat in August and September.

32.1C in London heathrow is the latest.


Look at the Arome



See that little 32C spot in the tarmac of heathrow?


Its amazing how accurate this has been. Honestly, I don't think we are gonna see 35C


 


EDIT: on closer examination AROME is going for slightly above 33C on heathrow in a couple of hours. So a little higher than the 32C I thought the AROME predicted; however this is assuming the weather station is in that sweat spot. And its still 2C off that 35C.

The metoffice could well be right about this, but I do think that would be extraordinary in that it would prove literally every public domain model wrong including their own. The hot spell last July was well handled by these same models; with temperatures below and above the max that actually happened.
