Not liking that warmth in the North Eastern Pacific.
An ever present feature over the last 5/6 winters and hardly ever wanes, at least as Quicksilver has mentioned over this side of the pond more warmer SST,s around Greenland/Iceland and somewhat further south unlike last winter.

Well even if we don't get something good in the next 3 years, that's not to say we won't get more chances in the future... I'm at least encouraged that the SST patterns in the North Atlantic are shaping up to be a lot different this year.
I haven't looked at the SST's anoms for the last few months...has that dreaded cold area in the northern part of the North Atlantic dissipated?

Re: whether summers are getting hotter - by my calculations:
For the past 10 years (2009-2018)
Mean annual max CET = 29.0C
Mean summer CET = 15.9CPrevious 10 years (1999-2008)
Mean annual max CET = 29.3C
Mean summer CET = 16.1CDecade before that (1989-1998)
Mean annual max CET = 28.9C
Mean summer CET = 16.0CWhere have those figures come from?

Yes in the last few years i agree but don't forget the all time UK low record wasn't far off being breached in 1995, plus nearly the coldest Dec CET in 300 odd years of records and the coldest in 100 years and the third coldest of any month in my lifetime, all within the era of global warming.
Something which we should take note of since December 2010 we haven't managed 1 winter month with a CET of 1c below normal - worrying!

lets hope for some record breaking UK cold this winter, seems like everything setup well
Now where have I heard that before?...oh yes last year!

I'd be surprised if we got past 40c and the 41c being forecast on that map I think might be tad OTT certainly so far north of London...but we will see.

Current max of 32.2c on the Essex Riviera, sweating buckets as have walked a mile to the local cemetery and saw a buzzard on the way. As for this heat can't get the slightest interest in it and I work outside quite a lot of the time, will keep an interest for tomorrow if we break the UK temp record but no doubt in the years ahead there will be further opportunities and more extremes...
Chrisbell-nottheweatherman your main post on the the other page, very good post...strangely marked up by a certain someone being rather contradictory.

If you are recording 32c 70 miles west of Faversham it is quite conceivable that the current reading at Faversham of 34.2c is accurate. Yes, not an official record, but an accurate one nonetheless.
I have been to Faversham multiple times and the station readings have always been within half a degree of my own equipment.I'm north of Faversham by about 25 miles as the crow flies on the Essex coast (north of Southend)...yeah wouldn't at all surprise me if that is correct for the reading there.

I've got 33c showing up for faversham, but somebody on the mod thread just quoted over 34c...any ideas to what is closer to the mark.
32.0c here mate currently (British Standard max/min bulbs in a Stevenson Screen) so should be fairly accurate.

It is 34 here, and I checked with the weather stations near me.
I will not stray far from my fan today.Here in Burnham it is currently 32.0c (measured with British Standard Max/Min bulbs in a Stevenson Screen housing) and a slight westerly element to the breeze so shouldn't be too different to Woodham Ferrers though there are always variations.

Genuine question so please don’t be offended.
Does it concern you at all that we’re destroying our environment and this is a direct response of it ? When I see charts like this all I feel is shame and fear for the future.
Don't let common sense stand in the way of people who like sun and extreme temperatures and only think of the here and now...totally agree!

Wowzer! current temperature now 31.4c and going up and with a fair breeze as well.
-
Well heat really building here on the Essex Riviera, currently 29.8c - making it the hottest day of the year here surpassing 28.2c and probably another 3 hours or so until temps peak!
Only saw lightning in the distance here overnight, no thunder so missed all the storms.

I like how you select 6 days from June, and ignore the majority of days that were dismal, cloudy and quite cold at times. I remember days even in central London when the temp struggled to hit 16c. That’s poor for June.
Yes but there were other days when maximum temperatures were not far from normal, I wonder how many days out of the 30 could actually be noted as 'cold' (4/5 degrees anomaly below max average)?...majority of those would have been in that poor working week of 10th-14th when we had that stationary low over the south and north east winds. CET bares out that London was not cold over the whole month, you can't argue against facts.

Your June might have good but here in Merseyside up in the radioactive badlands north of Watford, we endured days on end with steel grey skies, heavy rain and maxina below 10C On one day we only achieved a max of 8C!
There is a world outside the M25!
Never said it was good...just not 'cold', yes it was cool/cold in periods but other spells it was very warm certainly down here (at the start and towards the end), if it was continually cold further north or outside the M25 as you put it the CET wouldn't have come in close to average. Personally felt the month was refreshing in these days of global warming, it really is the first time we've had such a summer month since 2012, now it looks like normal service has been resumed.

It was cold. Stop trying to deny it.
No it wasn't - look at the CET for the month, it came out near average and you can almost guarantee that the south east would have been slightly above to offset areas in northern England over the 30 day period, the opening couple of days and the last 5 days or so were pleasantly warm or are you going to say that wasn't so?...

People still banging on about the 'cold' June - no it wasn't, we haven't had a cold summer month for yonks...and why does record breaking heat make up for June? almost as if some posters think they're owed something.

Looking back on my records, I recorded 34.3C on 27th July last year which was the peak of the hot spell, think we may well beat that on Thursday.
I updated my weather station two years ago from a bog standard David Vantage Pro 2 to a new one with FARS (Fan Aspiration Radiation Shield - for more accurate temp readings) - it was definitely the right choice with these incredible hot spells this year and last.
Could be a tad warm that, so not sure how accurate that is (FARS) as maximum temperatures in East Anglia on that day was generally near to 32c. I've got a Stevenson Screen which I built myself with British Standard max/min separate bulbs and seems to be reasonably accurate but is hard to tell to what degree accuracy as there are local variations.
Interesting to note just how warm it became on the date you mentioned: 27th July, my memory has obviously let me down as I thought most of the heat was largely over after Wimbledon last summer.

Just been on the BBC website HYS about the possibility of the British Isles maximum temperature going over the next couple of days, my God! are there some berks about...the weather is completely wasted on them, completely oblivious about it all 'it's just summer', 'not the first time we've had a 1 day heatwave', 'they have far higher temps abroad' and other silly remarks blah blah blah!...some utter buffoons.
27.5c currently

Wow! 27.7c reached today and it's meant to be one of the 'cooler' days this week!

Just over 2.5mm here in Essex since late June...looks like we might get some precipitation in the next couple of days but how much?
-
Another warm muggy day on the Essex Riviera now with a lot of cloud, max temp today 25.1c - 5th time so far this month that at least 25c has been reached.

After 2020 maybe. I think 2016-18 wasn’t bad for storms, but this year has been poor so far. There’s still time though. August could still surprise us.
2018 spring/summer was rubbish for convective storms as it was dominated so much by high pressure...so you can take that off the list as well!

Agreed!...sign of the times I'm afraid, 2006 and the odd spell in 2013 and 15' was hot but doesn't feel on the same level, just wondering if in my local I can get 3 days in a row in the 30's (that hasn't happened since 2003 I think).
