Has anybody managed to find the direct links to the new charts yet?

This is a direct link to the old style charts (for example)

I assume at some point soon these charts will be discontinued so would be useful to know what the direct link is to the new charts. I've been playing around with various combinations of gif, html, png, etc, plus replacing (old) with (new) at the start of the link but so far not been able to find them. 

Mid 20's possible again next weekend in parts of the south and SE

Fax charts looking very thundery and widely so on Wed - though the locla MetO forecast has it dry for Chichester all week!

The focus for thundery activity still appears to affect more western areas of the UK. 

I'm glad I read the models before reading some of the tosh in here.

A fairly stable outlook for the south after the midweek potential thundery interlude. An extension of high pressure indicates a continuation of the largely settled theme for the foreseeable.

Nothing too troubling for the north either in the semi reliable timeframe and certainly nothing conducive to a 'write off' 

BBC weather 24 Tomas shakinfinakh has 32C 90f for parts of the south on Tuesday ☀️😉

NAVGEM shows a high of 32c on Tuesday with 40c quite widespread inland for France

Wednesday is now shown to be hotter than Tuesday with a high of 36C / 96.8F

Thursday sees the heat continuing in the south with a high of 29c

Friday and Saturday see temps slightly low peaking in the mid 20's

By Sunday they could be on the up again with a high of 27c

The NAVGEM model is completely crazy and not to be taken remotely seriously. I still have on my old computer a desktop background from 2 July last year a NAVGEM forecast of 42C for the UK!

It might only be overstating things by a couple of degrees this time though  What with the breakdown being modelled further west, the hot uppers stay over the eastern half of the UK for that little bit longer. You never know, we might squeeze out a 35C on Wednesday 

Certainly a lovely summery week coming up 

Indeed.

One for the bin!

Yeah the NAVGEM is a pretty crap model. I don't think any forecasting agency uses it with any kind of seriousness. It can be fun to look at it for it's ridiculous predictions, but don't ever rely on it lol.

Anything over 30 becomes unpleasant and horrible and sweaty and smelly in my book. Not looking forward to this week. At least I don't have to travel on public transport this week

:-O

Pretty much perfect GFS 12z today. After the 'breakdown' late Tues/Weds, high pressure re-asserts itself and stays in some form or another right to the end of the run 

NAVGEM is still going for the mid 30's on Wednesday

30c possible again on Thursday

Mid 20's Friday before another surge towards the high 20's for Saturday then back to the mid 20's Sunday

We will have to hope that the GFS 12z is the beginning of a trend towards something generally better for the latter part of July. I'll be keeping a close eye on tomorrow's GFS runs to see if they follow in a similar vein. Let's hope so!

FWIW, tonight's UKMO doesn't look too shabby either. ECM not so good, but tomorrow's runs will be interesting.

Certainly a great run from GFS, but ECM perhaps not so enthusiastic, with low pressure not far away from the north toward the end of the run. Still, things are looking better than of late, and the general trend is one of improvement.

Could be an interesting summer of 'two halves'. We are long overdue a good August - we can only hope!

Only for the SE of the UK though. Normal for the rest of us 😉

Latest BBC weather week ahead says no mention of high temps beyond Thursday. Down to average from then well into next week with weak fronts crossing west to east
