South East and East Anglia weather discussion/Chat - 1st June onwards

[wally]

30c here at the moment, I hope this hot weather breeds a few good thunderstorms.

A bit of localized flooding might be nice.

[PurpleButterfly]

Very hot here. My poor dog cant handle the heat so is now laying in front of a fan lol

Not sure if anyone has posted/seen this yet.

 26.c indoors here and the fan in the office is doing nothing. What's the point!!

Just topped 30c outside and it feels a little uncomfortable, I'm drinking water but I just feel lethargy and find it hard to concentrate. I went to school in 100f plus as a kid daily so I feel like a wimp when I complain about these sort of temps now.

I wish I was a man in hot weather...I'm sure I'd be able to hold more water, my partner is like a camel - he can drink like a fish - pints (water or beer) but I can't drink a couple of pints of water, I'd burst!

34c here

[PurpleButterfly]

Its saying in the car 34c here. 

[Captain Shortwave]

Currently 31C up here, we should reach 32/33C by 5pm when I think we will max out considering we have an increasing hot upper air mass moving over us this afternoon. Just a few clouds are beginning to appear here now, just fair weather cumulus though and nothing that will spoil the day.

What wonderful crystal clear blue skies, horrifically hot on 47 to Russell Square not again. 

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Wow! It's hot!  Beautiful!  

 

Back from work early after being out all day cutting bushes and leaf blowing, now time for a nice cold jar 

[HighPressure]

My weather station is reporting 33.7 on the north downs, still on the rise may hit 34. Second hotest day since July 1st 2015 when we hit 35.8 here.

It will be interesting watching the minimum temperatures overnight around the country, if somewhere can stay above 23.9c then we would have broken the UK highest minimum daily temperature that was set in Brighton on August 4th 1990.

Some of the charts are showing interest

For once I am not moaning about the bedford breeze, that is some strong breeze going on there, much welcomed. A few puffs of cloud but now a little hazy, been blue sky most of the day.

going to melt in the kitchen later, haven't decided what i need to burn yet.

I am eyeing up the picnic BBQ but sadly messy garden + south facing = too hot too sit outside, we need baps and i have a chicken bake thing that i need to cook. 

eyes up the beer instead \o/

The perfect summers day, 30C, hot sunshine and a gentle breeze, A very fitting tribute to ten years ago.

Just maxed out at 16:28 at 34.4 very briefly before dropping back.

[Ǝssex Ǝasterly]

The balcony here today got up to a blistering 55c in the sun, way too hot to sunbathe, would end up with heat stroke!

I maxed out at 31.9C. Currently 30.9C. 

[Lauren]

Well today I sweated in places I didn't know you could sweat.

Temperature has dropped to 28c here. 

Just popped my head out the door and see this to the NW. Blue sky elsewhere.

Another beaut of day. 33c here at 3pm, ended up in the garden all day. 

Exactly how summer should be. 

[Hodgheg]

Anything tomorrow maybe? 

[Captain Shortwave]

Well the temperatures have actually dropped below the predicted minima already at 21c.

I have no idea how tomorrow might pan out and hence how hot it could get. I suspect 32c is possible in the east of the region as the winds swing to the south west. Can the hot air hang on for an extra few hours tomorrow, the arpege model has a high of 34c in central/eastern East Anglia, other models are closer to the 30/31c mark.
