We'll try again! I removed the last thread to avoid any potential problems developing. If anyone has issues feel free to PM me directly. 

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Largely dry with good spells of sunshine and variable cloud. An isolated shower is possible on Wednesday and Thursday. Very warm or hot inland, though cooler on the coast.

Issued at: 0400 on Mon 15 Jul 2013

Hot for parts of the SE 

Carol Kirkwood just now suggested 32c possible tomorrow and Weds.

She also suggested a breakdown from the north by early next week, but confidence is low.

Weather could stay fine for a month yet at least in the South. Looks like at least another fortnight of good summer weather for most.

Chris Fawkes just now on BBC News said no end in sight of the hot weather probably with us until the end of the month.

rain next week then

Can't grumble with that

Susan Powell mentioning again a possible 32c tomorrow

What I notice the BBC forecasters say those temps but on the map they put it 2-3C lower than in the old days they slapped 32C straight away.  They also did very good hourly evening to overnight temps tonight and never see them showing 27C at 10pm and 25C at midnight before.

Yes I have noticed that. They seem to quote city temps for night values and then have reduced maxes. Very odd

Yes, anyone explain why they would put one value but then mention another ???

I thought the nighttime values profile chart was great...first time I've seen that used. Infact there was a big emphasis on coloured charts at 10.30pm. Always like it when they use those.

Liam Dutton and Paul Hudson have today been tweeting links to this well-read (on this site at least) article regarding the Express and weather reporting:

Wednesday:

Generally dry, hot and sunny, sunshine probably stronger than Tuesday's and afternoon temperatures a degree or so higher. Isolated late afternoon downpours are possible. Refreshingly cooler in coastal sea breezes. Maximum Temperature 32 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Generally dry, plenty of sunshine, although rather more cloud around, especially in the east. Very warm or hot in sunshine. Freshening easterly breezes and a chance of isolated thundery showers.

Hot for the SE 

BBC weather showing temps no lower than 20 or 21c in the southeast overnight!

17 or 18c elsewhere.

Well the Beeb have slapped on a 32C for London today:

Indeed - I think Carol mentioned 33'C as a possibility, which was Matt said on here yesterday

UK Outlook for Monday 22 Jul 2013 to Wednesday 31 Jul 2013:

Mostly dry with plenty of sunshine through much of next week, though some northern and eastern parts likely to see low cloud at times, particularly in the mornings. There is also an increasing risk of isolated heavy, perhaps thundery showers breaking out, mainly in the afternoons and evenings, most likely over Northern Ireland, England and Wales. Feeling warm or locally hot for many, but cooler around coasts. Towards the end of the week generally more unsettled weather is possible, though it remains uncertain whether this manifests itself as cloudier weather with outbreaks of rain spreading from the northwest or showery, thundery conditions moving in from the south. Temperatures tending to remain above average and very warm, but perhaps becoming nearer normal if unsettled weather spreads in from the the northwest.

Still some uncertainty
