Oooh I adore warm and sultry. That amazing expectation of possible storms.

[WheresTheSnow]

dry warm and sunny

wednesday potential 29 degrees

thursday potential 31-32 degre

waiting fridays fax ch

however ecm shows

been really warm and sunny here as

about time

hope everyone enjoyed today

Is this ECM run better than earliers for keeping the wamth? Or does that high pressure move away on the Saturday anyway?

[john pike]

ecm for saturday dont look too good

i would not worry too much about saturday at present

fridays forecast is far from certain at present

probably will be more clear on this tomorrow night

[john pike]

thought id post this for mk regarding seagulls

[WheresTheSnow]

Hmm, guess we might have to make the most of the next few days. Hope things change though, people like shedhead in the Model thread seem to be insistent on the low pressure taking over at the weekend, so I dont hold much hope.

[john pike]

if you look at these

after friday -saturday things do look poor

from 12z

shows high pressure over the south east on here from the 3rd

no heatwave but not a disaster for us either

[john pike]

gfs take re end of week

according to 18z these have the potentail for friday to be very wet first thing

friday morning with storms and heavy rain building lunchtime onwards

the 18z run i just looked at looks very wet

[WheresTheSnow]

BBC weather still has 25C for Saturday in London, I know Im clutching at straws, I mean I dont even live in London, but Im going to hold to as much hope as I can for the warmth to stay!

[dallas]

Cracking start to the week, bright sunshine in the City

[Heisenberg]

wow 200 deg C already and its only 8:30.....

Seriously though, its a lovely fine morning in London town and more to come this week....so sad to be in the office all week...enjoy it those of you that can...

[Snowangel-MK]

wow 200 deg C already and its only 8:30.....

is that your oven temperature or have you got an extra 0 on there !

Lovely day here, only 18 deg C at the moment but that will do me while I catch up with some jobs after being away for the weekend but I fully intend to sit in the garden all afternoon !

[Steve C]

Morning all. Ditto with the weather, near Chelmsford.

[Snowangel-MK]

WAKE UP! The little beggars don't even sleep. They're always squawking in Ipswich 24/7. I hope you have a fabulous time at the Pirate do. Post lots of photos for us and we'd like to see you dressed up.

Mmmmm, there are some general Pirate Day and Red Arrows ones in the gallery, but here is a couple of me....

I didn't feel so silly when there were 14,230 other people all dressed up too !

I'm not sure there are enough people in Cornwall to ever beat this new Guinness world record, anyway they are just smugglers in Penzance... the real Pirates are on the south coast !

It was an amazing atmosphere and great fun to take part in and now I can say I'm a 'Record Breaker'

All very quiet here. I guess it must be the nice weather.

The question is, do I go for an outdoor pint or two at my local, or on the waterfront at Wivenhoe, after work this week? Can't let these hot spells pass with no benefit. After all, sitting in a hot non a/c office and trying to sleep at night when it's warm and muggy are definitely no benefit. Think I've answered my own question!

[Guest archiesmummy]

Am I the only miserable grump that finds this weather too hot? Kids are grumpy, everyone short tempered and now takes 2hours to get 3miles because of the Olympic traffic and stupid tourists who stand in exits to read maps!

Lol I am old and grumpy, it is lovely to see the sun and be able to go out if I want rather than if it stops raining. It's one extreme to the other 28c possibly wed? And then my met office app showing 18c on Sunday!

Think ice cold cider tonight and a BBQ will make me feel better! Would have a drink now but kids are here! Anyone for babysitting?!

Have fun all! :)

[Kent Snow]

Stunningly beautiful out there. Clear blue sunny skies, 25C and the City of Canterbury looking awesome.

I'd rather prefer 28C to 18C - shame that this wonderful weather is expected to breakdown on Friday then back to rubbish (possibly right through to the end of August).

Enjoy folks, enjoy! Just got back from a two hour lunchbreak, boss not too happy but do I care?

[Mesoscale]

too hot??? pah if it was in the 30s with high dew points then it would be too hot but today is loverly mid 20s with low dew points loverly!!!!!

7ft high fences in my garden stop the breeze though!!

[Jezzer]

Just got back from lunch break in west London. Stunning out there, lovely and hot, cloudless skies and a gentle breeze!

Day off tomorrow too

[Snowangel-MK]

Thanks

Only a bit of sunburn in a couple of places, I did use high factor sun protection and luckily wore my top back to front so it wasn't as low cut or it could have been worse!

The Guinness World Record Certificate will belong to the town like the previous one...

...I suppose it would have been a bit much for them to provide another 14,230 copies for us all to have had one each

[Snowangel-MK]

Anyone for babysitting?!

Yes

and

No

Just found the perfect way to keep cool - I've just washed two smelly dogs out in the back garden - they obviously had far to much fun in the paddock at the kennels this weekend, thankfully there is no hose pipe ban now

A lovely sun tan if the lovely weather this weekend is anything to go by!

[Jason T]

Absolutely a Cracking Day. If only August could carry on the theme.

Have to admit, I am loving the sunshine. However, (and I hate to moan after the weather we have had since April) but.....

It is a little bit too hot for me to enjoy and I wish the weather wouldn't go from one extreem to the other. Clear blue skies, 23c, a light cool breeze is my idea of perfect summer weather.

And you just know any prospect of a storm/storms as a reward for putting up with this heat and humidity won't materialize or will break out over Newcastle or something

Sorry to sound like a moaning minnie but I am too hot at my desk at work and am feeling a little grumpy!
