Too warm to sleep? Night time temps are not even staying in double figures?
My house is well-insulated.

My water butt is empty, it's almost too warm to sleep already without keeping the curtains shut all day, and two foxes were fighting in the street outside my window at 4am today. Humph.
-
I got an aerial pole as vizzy suggested above.

Slightly delayed in implementation, but I finally got an Ecowitt WS2910 installed in the back garden. You can find me as the easternmost of the two datapoints on WoW in Musselburgh.

And still awaiting any hurricanes to potentially shake things up a bit.

Been a blessed relief today here with the wind turning to the north-east. Cloud came over in the late afternoon, and with a bit of luck, temperatures in the teens will persist until tomorrow afternoon.

I was thinking my guess of nearly 41° was being a bit silly. Might be bob on, what's the prize?
EDIT: 'Sokay, I looked up the original post.

Nevertheless, we can all thermoregulate, I'm British born and bred, but was able to cope for 5 years in Spain and 15 years in Melbourne, my physiology didn't change, England's cricketers we able to spend all day in the field at 40+, it might not be comfortable but any healthy person should be OK, common sense needed of course. and cool showers, nothing better than a cool shower or 2, on a stinking hot day.
Oddly enough, I used to love a really hot shower when I lived in an Australian summer. Not sure why.

Here to show my support. If it gets much above 20°C, I'm not particularly happy. It's currently 25°C in this room, and I'm not enjoying it at all. Fingers crossed the cloud will hang around tomorrow and keep a lid on things here. Takes a couple of days to get fresh air through the place when it arrives too...

40.9°C, Essex 18th.

Had all the windows open again today as it was warmer outside than in! Now hit a nice 19 degrees again, and hopefully will stay at that level over the next few days.

I'm starting to get stern looks from across the living room.

I much prefer a text-based page. Lots of images reduces the information density and makes it harder for me to find things.

Comfy nights of sleep, able to work without choosing between sitting in the dark or frying. Sounds good to me.

23° in the living room right now - long way from getting the heating on; I'd expect maybe six weeks minimum unless there's an early chill. The windows are unlikely to be shut for a while yet!
Well, pushing three weeks on and I'm at the point of closing the window over my desk. Still in bare feet, but socks and warm slipper boots are very tempting right now.

Been wondering this myself. Never before have I craved a good run of blowy Atlantic days.

Oh aye, I was being dim! Thanks.
Maybe I looked at data for Altnaharra or similar? I've searched the Met Office archives without luck. Can't even find the source of what you linked to :(

An interesting question but Breamar has only managed it once in 1973
I'm probably being dim, but how can you tell from that data?

Definitely tempted to move as far north as possible, I'm struggling more and more during the summer, although since the more extreme heat moved on, this year's not been so bad in recent weeks, almost pleasantly cool and even quite dim some days.
Whether moving north would entail Perth or Tromso though is the bigger question.
-
On a related topic, does anyone know the last year there was an air frost in every month? I reckon it might have been 2006 (I paid attention after noticing a freezing night in the July, but my memory might not be entirely accurate), and I've not been keeping tabs of such things diligently in recent years.

Did someone say snow?

Judging by the fax charts, it could well be battleground snow all Sunday up the spine of Britain. Certainly would be interesting, but this coldy's hoping for the continental air to hold on for a week or three yet.

30 hours ago we were drooling over this 12z run from GFS (for Sunday evening) and what it subsequently delivered
Thereafter things were not so good....starting with a pub run which rudely interrupted the delight being shown over a generally excellent 12z suite.....
Thereafter a further three runs underwhelmed.....
The pub run turned it round last night......it needs to turn it round again, but this time in favour of something that has us smiling at its outcome!
This is one of the best sets of charts I've seen in years!

Scientific (and wider) movement from Twitter elsewhere (Mastodon, BlueSky etc)
in Space, Science & nature
Posted · Edited by DogToffee
Hello all, I can't find any discussion apart from one comment (see quote here)...
...about the movement of scientific writers away from Twitter. I'm aware of numerous people congregating on Mastodon, not so much in other places, but does anyone have any decent people to follow on other platforms? I do follow a few interesting people on Mastodon, but they're mostly astronomy and physics people. I've seen little in the way of meteorological chat apart from finding this link above.
