With heat records seemingly getting broken for fun these days, often by some margin, the question has to be asked..can 40c be achieved in the UK, if so, when ?
The 2003 record of 38.5c could have been bettered had it not been for high cloud that drifted across at 4pm.
NAVGEM modelled 42c last year showing it is not out of the realms of possibility.
2017 has been an incredibly warm start to the year with widespread 17c/18's in February, 22c in March and a possible another effortless warm up this weekend.
Ground conditions are dry, high pressure is dominant...40c is becoming a real possibility IMO.
What is everybody else's thoughts ?
