The GFS 6z is certainly showing a scenario that lends itself to extreme heat.

Another lovely day! What an amazing summer. I honestly cannot believe that so many people are moaning on here, they must be ill-prepared farmers, surely? It’s not even been that hot, mid to high 20’s generally, with low humidities, hardly an extreme heatwave. As a regular camper, I’m absolutely loving being able to enjoy being outdoors in summer without being frozen or soaked, or both!

I can't speak for everyone, but I've had no issues with the outside temperatures, but rather how warm it is getting inside. Even with the windows open all night it didn't drop much below 25C in here. That's the issue really, our house is so well insulated that there's no escape from it. If I had air con inside then I'd be quite happy for it to be 30C every day, until my electricity bill came that is!

This is the most uninteresting spell of weather I have had to endure for god knows how long.

Give me autumn wind and rain anyday.

Well wait until Autumn then - the clue is in the phrase.

Autumn wind and rain is ok - in autumn. Definitely not in summer.

That’s a major issue in British homes, built to keep the warmth in, not quite so good in a warm summer. I do feel for you, have you though about a mobile aircon unit? They’re about £250 and keep a room very cool.

Your displeasure is my pleasure...you can have your wind and rain in 3 months time...

How many times has it done that? ECM and UKMO are not showing that.

Except that it doesn’t! Looks hot from Fri through to Mon. Anything after that Is irrelevant.

Nearly every day for the last 15 years to my memory

Slight exaggeration, but you get the gist.

The 12z GFS op, close but no cigar

Average for the south, not too good for the North.

Awful day today,hot,cloudy and humid. Anybody finding pleasure in that kind of weather really baffles me, Every single person i spoke to today hated it and before anybody starts i've done nearly 300 miles,visited 5 sites,all said the same, Uncomfortable,sick of it,wanting a change.

Lucky down this way then, though the air temp was on the warm side the humidity stayed around 30%

Working in the construction industry, like I do, isn’t much fun at the moment. Love working out in the cold but this weather is absolutely draining.

Opening your windows will just have the affect of letting the warm air in. Try closing all the windows during the day and pulling all the blinds/curtains and in theory the ambient temperature shouldn’t rise above 19 degrees.

This is what I've been noting too. Chatting to customers, a large percentage of them are saying they want a change now. Even my heat loving colleagues are getting fed up with it.

It's a scorching hot 24C today, it's simply horrendous - I am literally melting. Wah wah wah.

The temperature has nothing to do with it today, it was pure humidity. I went out earlier on before the rain and I had sweat literally dripping down my face. That is not pleasant in any way.
