Since the rain in April it has been desperately dry here with just a couple of mm at the weekend has done nothing for the grass going brown in many of the parks around here and my garden.These are the sort of scenes you wouldn't see until August in a drought year.If we get a hot spell now it is going to hurt the farmers,gardeners and growers.It certainly has been the driest period here since 1996.
and watch the price of food rocket (what we actually still grow here that is).

This is more like it

lol now the CFS is centre stage. Only days after they were rubbishing it and calling out Crewecold for buying into it. Well despite that, the latest charts are as follows:

Not exactly screaming heat. Just goes to show how useless it is.
Still not much chance of a beasterly in the winter if its right

It was like that when I lived in California - weeks on end of temps into the high 30s and occasionally low 40s. Clear sky every day with no cloud at all. Never even got a thunderstorm, in fact not a drop of rain between June and October. It got tedious to say the least.
Thats very true. I always remember going on holiday in cyprus when was younger. They get dry and sunny weather all year round (bar a very brief period where rain is possible in the "winter"). A local said that he'd change his weather for ours any day of the week.

Not at all. Same basic problem.

Well the MAD thread has sunk to a new low. Some begging for conditions topping '76. The lunatics really are running the asylum as the saying goes.

I dear say Londoners will be drowning in their own sweat next week which pleases me no end
they can gather all that and stave off the drought.

It rarely gets to warm at night to sleep.. I can count on the fingers of my hand the amount of days i've struggled to sleep.. During the day you get use to the heat its not extreme heat anyway . I love mid 20s temperatures they are so comfortable to walk about it t-shirts and shorts.
And where will have mid 20s? Even scotland could touch 30 going from the ECM. GFS shows overnight temps in some locales at 19c at 2 am...
If you don't call that uncomfortable then you must have asbestos skin.

And you seem to be assuming that most people hate heat - experience tells me that most people don't. They might have to travel to work on hot crowded trains but they also get to enjoy a pint of beer in a pub garden, dine al fresco and have an evening BBQ with friends and family. That's what it comes down to. You take the good with the bad.
And they can do all of that in the low-mid 20s I'd have thought. All the while the rest of us aren't dripping like a pot roast.

Pretty sure most people work mate.. nothing unusual about that. I travel to work every morning on a train that gets hot and stuffy even in the low 20s with sunshine but that doesn't make me a heat heater.
if you enjoy heat, thats a moot point.

There is nothing pleasant about the forecast for next week,it looks awful for those of us...whats the word?......oh yes that's it work! 25c plus is a killer,banging headache,literally so dehydrated(ok that's only on my line of work) that you feel ill. Hate it. Least the days will be getting shorter,one plus i suppose!
Some signs that this muck may be summer's swan song. Not getting my hopes up though.

You could switch your laptop/pc off? That way you could cover the leccy bill for it, and give the rest of us a break on here. Win win!
laptop's on battery
I have a better solution, move the heat south.

Must admit i'm not a big fan of the heat either which luckily we don't get much of up here 20-25 is ok but when it starts getting into the high 20s or high teens at night that just becomes uncomfortable.Add to that the fact that leaving your window open does nothing when there's no breeze plus you just end up with unwanted wildlife in the house.20 is ideal for me, 30+ for weeks at a time would be my version of hell.
getting 30c into scotland is incredibly rare. even rarer than here. I live on the borderline of the usual N/S splits when heatwaves occur. Never dodge it completely like cumbria etc often do

I think we may have got to the ‘root’ of your problem
nah, my problem is that I'm genetically pre-disposed to be intolerant of heat.

Oh no, not again. I was hoping we'd seen the back of any easterly winds this summer.

Well mid to high twenties from Monday. So not really FI.
thought we considered over 5 days away as outside the reliable?

Deep FI. How many times do we see heat simply blown away only for it to hang on?
Thats what the chart shows, not saying its right. The heat you crave is also FI. GFS is useless at that range.

GFS 12z also shows it gone by saturday (from NW anyway). What follows is more typical weather.
