Yarrum

Models looking a bit spicier this evening, especially UKV.. I know we’ve to take these things with a pinch of salt but this would smash the scottish record out of the park with 36 just over the border

aye that happened in july 2019 too, whilst edinburgh broke it’s temperature record at about 31c leuchars only recorded about 22c max that day because of the easterly breeze

aye certainly not doubting we’ll get a good dose of heat- i’m just meaning it won’t be as extreme as other places further south in relative terms the record high here is around 30c meaning to break it by 2c it would need to reach 32, and most models are showing 22-26 in my area, we had 27 last sunday so it wouldn’t even make it the hottest day of the year! on another note- that thundery breakdown looks like something to look forward to- just hope it holds off until half 8/9pm as that’s when i finish work!

is it just me or have a lot of the charts ‘downgraded’ for up here, especially toward the east? we were seeing widespread 32/33 for areas even as far north as moray, now mid/late 20s at best and only areas scratching 30c are right at the border

Just had random 5 mins of gushing rain, gusty winds, cars alarms going off??? Feels like the Midwest out here

Skies lit up like a Christmas tree- never seen anything like this!!

Best storm I’ve ever seen in fife!

Dunfermline area seems to be getting some decent activity by the looks of it, kinda wish I was over in that direction that was overall kind of underwhelming.. lots of rumbling, but nothing too loud and I didn’t see any lightning

Can hear a little bit of rumbling....

Seems to be following the same path as the one earlier

That easterly breeze was properly strong, leuchars recording maximum of only 17 while places in the highlands hit 28!

26.8c here today, June record is 27.4 If it wasn’t for this easterly coastal breeze tomorrow, I could definitely see that figure being surpassed!

That would be a pleasant surprise , the last decent nighttime storm I remember was after that heatwave in late July 2018.. would be even better if we get one on both nights

As much as I like hot weather, I can understand some of the points these people are making... where I am generally during heatwaves max temps are 7-10c lower than in London, so theoretically 33c means 23-26c where I am, and that can be enough to keep me up sweating at night..

Haven’t had a single rumble here in the NE so far... fingers crossed for Friday night
