A certain Brian Gaze being quoted widely in the papers
“ Then during next week the mercury will continue to rise said Brian Gaze, a forecaster at The Weather Outlook. At the moment long-range computer models are suggesting an increased likelihood of very warm conditions during the last third of July," he said, reported the Independent.
“Temperatures in the UK reached 32.7C earlier this month and typically the hottest weather of the summer comes in July or August. In recent years periods of extreme heat have become more common in the UK. I wouldn’t be surprised if temperatures climbed to 35C. To put a little context on that, the hottest day in the entire decade of the 1980s was 34.4C.”

Corals 5/4 on for July being the hottest month ever for the UK
