There’s actually some thunderstorms developing off the south coast.
Not sure that was in the script?!

I think I’ve narrowed it down. That boomer generation are bizarrely ‘proud’ of the summer of 76, almost as if they own it. 
They don’t seem to like this overshadowing it - plus they don’t want to have to face reality on climate change.

Don’t forget to tell your kids, this is the summer they can rant about in 50 years when their snowflake grandchildren are being told to wear their radiation suits before going outdoors. 😉

A few spots of rain here now.


Are we really sure this isn't going to impact the weather tomorrow?

The Met Office have 39C for Leeds on Tuesday now. It’s gradually gotten higher as we’ve gotten closer, so wouldn’t be surprised if it says 40C sometime tomorrow. 


BBC have 40C.

Incredibly, the Met Office are now forecasting a maximum temperature of 34°C for Hawick in the Scottish Borders on Tuesday which would smash the all-time Scottish record if that was to end up being correct.


The BBC on the other hand are still only going for 32°C at that same location on the same day, and although that is only just short of that record from 2003.

Have to laugh at the Daily Express. Headline is not about the weather unlike some other papers , but it says in smaller text ' Not the end of the world, keep calm and carry on.'

So for all the bulls**t hype the paper has produced about fake heatwaves and snow events over the years when something serious is actually happening it plays it down. Maybe they have finally realised that their readers are those morons on Facebook dismissing what is about to happen.

Whilst I am getting ready to travel down Hawick in the Scottish Borders, I can confirm that the Met Office have upgraded tomorrow's temperature forecast for down there to an incredible 35°C, and I am really not looking forward to that in any way.

The BBC are still forecasting a maximum temperature of just 32°C for down there during tomorrow, but even that will be too hot for my liking.

For here tomorrow - iphone app 40c, BBC app 41c, Met O app 40c.  


Met O has us with thundery showers tomorrow evening as well.

If you have seen any of those short videos on one of the Met Office's YouTube channels about what a typical summer weather forecast might look like in 2050, you will no doubt have noticed that tomorrow's forecast temperatures are already not all that far below what those forecast temperatures for 2050 were showing, so we are probably not going even going to have to wait until then for those sorts of temperatures to happen.


If anything, that makes our future prospects even scarier because if this trend continues, I fear that our actual temperatures during 2050 will be far worse than what those videos were showing.


That is something which needs to taken very seriously and our politicians need to pay full attention to what is happening to our climate just now and make sure that the required actions are taken worldwide to ensure that there is at least a decent prospect of everything being brought back under control on that front.

In my younger days, that used to only really happen in somewhere like central London, so you could say that we have actually entered into more or less the same climate here in Edinburgh these days as what central London had back then.


We have the same kind of thing when it comes to the winter as well when temperatures of around 7°C or so here in Edinburgh are now being seen as being quite "cold" on an increasing basis whereas those sorts of temperatures for here during the winter used to only be regarded as being rather mild. That no longer seems to be the case though.

Based on the UKV chart and what happened yesterday I reckon Hawarden might sneak a new record today, but the models have generally trimmed the temps a little bit today. Perhaps due to the increased cloud and shower activity (there is more rain across the west country this morning!)
