Nice upgrades this morning for extending the warmth through next week. GEM,  GFS and Arpege all have 30c at some point.👍

No significant breakdown being shown now as well. Good news for Summer fans. 🤞it holds.

Pointless. Not communicated through any mainstream media. Means absolutely nothing to the vast majority of the UK population, and I’m not even suggesting it should be communicated widely

At 27C is not a heatwave as it just warm and tad above average for end of June 23C for London.  Over reacting and only should put warnings for temperature over 30C.  This coming warm spell is bog standard and normal for summer season.

Its nice to see the output continue to look more summery albeit not totally settled.

Anyway, that’s off topic. What isn’t off topic is the charts look ok again this morning. Being picky they are still nowhere near as high-dominated or hot and humid as I would like, but this will do for starters

It is a reminder to community health care workers and neighbours to make sure the elderly are well hydrated and are ok between social care visits. You will often see elderly with their heating on full even when temps outside are above 25 degrees. Might seem daft but elerdly who cannot move around the house independently still feel cold regardless how warm it is outside.

What we see as a period of summery weather, can be a killer for some. Remember to check your on your elderly neighbours, even when we do not think the weather is extreme for us 😊

WX charts scale back the warmth in Europe in week 2, especially around the Baltic. Britain grades from warm in the south to cool in the north; continental Europe stays generally warm; coastal Norway and Iceland rather cold. Dry from Britain to the Baltic in week 1 with rain in Iceland and in S Europe; in week 2 the latter dies out while the former extends S-wards to Scotland and Norway.

GFS Op - HP in from the west to start the week, but LP from France links up with a deeper one near Iceland so all of Britain is under a broad trough by Fri 28th. HP, again from the SW, re-establishes for next weekend, but sinks S-wards by Wed 3rd to usher in a spell of zonal weather with W-ly winds, later NW-ly, fine for S Britain. less settled in the N.

ECM - the trough on Fri 28th is more concentrated in the N (990mb Malin) and then drifts S-wards, filling, so although pressure rises for next weekend, it's more by default and described better as shallow LP.

GEM - generates the deep LP as per ECM but a day earlier , but then moves it quickly NE so HP soon back and firmly in control

GEFS - warm until Thu 27th and then temp dropping back to norm with general ens agreement. From Mon 1st mean is slightly above norm but with plenty of variation, in particular op & control going in opposite directions. Not much rain in the S & E but a few runs have big peaks. In the NW, more continual from Thu 27th but relatively small amounts.

ECM seems to me to be somewhat out of kilter with GFS and UKMO this morning. ECM wants to keep LP over or just to the SW of the UK whereas the latter two models have it placed further north with less by way of nothern blocking. We shall see which of them turns out to be nearest the mark.

It will sure feel a lot more pleasant than the cool conditions experienced all year especially on the coasts.

Increase in risk of mortality amongst vulnerable individuals and increased potential for indoor environments to become very warm.”

I suspect they vast majority of health and social care practitioners will also not be aware of the alerts beyond at most “look out for x, y or z” symptoms. It is in the category of damned if you do (accusations of nanny state) and damned if you don’t (“why were the health and social care sectors not more prepared for an increased in heat related issues amongst the most vulnerable?”)

For most people, or those that like the warmth, the weather in current output will be very welcome.

So sorry to have taken this off topic, it wasn’t intended, but there are valid reasons for these alerts.

The new MetO raw has upgraded the heat: even in Heathrow, 29C counts as "hot" at this time of year (the average is just under 23 right now).

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcpsvg3nc#?date=2024-06-26 

A good chance of the first 30 of the year on Wednesday, I'd suggest, with an outside chance of seeing one on Tuesday and Thursday too.

Temps back to normal finally after a below average June so far still running at -1.5 below normal. A few favoured spots topping the high 20’s this week (Heathrow runway 2 perhaps) but temps fall off a cliff next weekend with the ever familiar rain spikes creeping back in.
