Driving north today  from Belgium it was basically roasting everywhere apart from West Yorkshire.  Maybe exaggerated by getting back here at 7.30 this evening  when things are a bit cooler, but still a pretty big contrast. The house is only 18.2c too.
 29.5c on the car thermometer was the highest around NW Kent and South Cambridgeshire. The high cloud appeared north of Cambridge and got significantly cooler north of Doncaster. The parched landscape changes pretty quickly around the Yorkshire border too!

Looking forward to 4 days in Chamonix from tomorrow. Forecast looks to be sunny and about 27c every day, with just the chance of an afternoon shower, so pretty good.

Thankfully not competing but watching some of the fittest people on Earth running the UTMB with an ascent equivalent of climbing Everest from sea level in a 100 mile race. They start at 6pm Friday and the 1st will finish around 2pm on Saturday.

Cambridge peaked yesterday at 30.1c. So the 8th official 30c day this year for the UK.
Last year we had 14 , seven of which were in September.

With the final rainfall total for the month looking to be 26mm, this will be our driest month since June last year, and only the 2nd drier-than-average month of 2024 (the other being June). Fingers crossed for a dry autumn and winter - feels like it's been an age since we've had a proper anticyclonic autumn.

Autumn started here in August and the removal from the forecasts for any dry warm period that had been forecast for the weekend and beyond just compounds that. 95mm of rain so far this month. It seems a long long time since there has been a spell of warm settled weather here.

I welcome the return in the forecast of the traditional thunderstorms-drifting-up-from -France-overnight scenario, which has been sadly absent over recent years. A pity that most of the action according to MetO will be over E Kent rather than W Sussex - but it wasn't even in the forecast a couple of days ago, so we shall see.

That bloody warm front moving north on Sunday is a proper pisser.

Had planned a last paddleboarding trip to Ullswater as the forecast was sunny with temps a reasonable 21-22c. Now the afternoon promises showers and temps pegged at a cool 19c

Anglesey looks better, but still not great.

I'll leave this open for about a week for retrospective comments. Meanwhile thanks to JCS for opening an Autumn thread.

I've put my overall rating for summer in the 'thoughts and discussions' thread.

Max of 16°C here today so far but then again it is autumn (and has been seemingly for a while).
