It looks like our chances of beating 1976 are falling quickly as this summer appears to have lost its legs. The outlook to day 10 is firmly westerly and indeed some of the runs (the GFS18z tonight for example) would leave us lucky to be above 17C. 

 

No chance of beating 1976 that was one unique summer,huge drop in yesterday`s CET of 0.5c another big drop by tomorrow.

Looking very muggy next week lot of cloud about,higher mins suppressed maxes.

Found this,2018 is not going to be that high,outdated point from july when was posted.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'not that high'?

Even if August finishes on 17.0C it'll be the 3rd warmest summer in 360 years. Even a 16.0C finish would make it the joint 7th warmest.

The outlook though not as warm as the first week doesn't exactly look below average either.

Sunny Sheffield at 18.8C +2.2C above normal. Rainfall 2.3mm 3.5% of average. Humid warm nights should steady any further drops so not expecting any huge gains or drops in the few days.

Sorry guys im claiming this in advance

A double whammy of records

UK 20.1c Aug 2018 first 20c on record +3.9c on ave

40mm

Svalbard 10.0c Aug 18 - First 10c on record +5.3c above ave - if that happened goodbye Ice in that region.....

This 'forecasting'  game can be a tricky business, looks like you could be 3c too high with your prediction, where did it all go wrong?

Here's the forecast based on the 06z GFS

Rolling CET... Anomaly to 81-10 rolling avg (Daily Avg: Anomaly to 81-10 daily avg)

18.0C to the 13th... +1.2 (18.3: +2.1)
18.0C to the 14th... +1.2 (17.5: +0.8)
18.1C to the 15th... +1.2 (19.2: +2.4)
18.0C to the 16th... +1.2 (16.5: +0.0)
17.8C to the 17th... +1.0 (15.2: -1.3)
17.9C to the 18th... +1.1 (18.8: +2.2)
18.0C to the 19th... +1.2 (19.8: +2.9)
18.1C to the 20th... +1.2 (20.5: +3.8)
18.0C to the 21st... +1.3 (16.4: +0.0)
17.9C to the 22nd... +1.1 (15.2: -1.3)

The CET looks like remaining in an around 18C, which means remaining slightly above average for the next week to 10 days.

Still can't out that magic 18.2C. Would require plus 30C bank holiday weekend spell though

So not "barely above 17C by Wednesday" then?

Calls of this August being poor are premature. There's only been 11 Augusts above 17.6C in the entire CET series and we're looking to be at around 18C with less than 10 days of it left.

The overnight lows for the past 2 nights here have been above 16C so that will certainly help keep the mean temperature reasonably high.

GFS 06z would leave us on 18.6C here to the 29th. The warmest August I've ever recorded was 18.5C in 1990.

Summer would then likely finish on 17.7C....

...both 1976 and 2006 were 17.1C.

On that particular graph it was level with 1976.

Sunny Sheffield down to 18.3C. +1.7C above normal, Rainfall 5.1mm 7.7% of the monthly average. Temps should go up in the next few days due to warm days and nights.

1976 still within sight looking at tonights 12 oz. Either way it's still going to be a good august unless there's a drastic change.

I hope it finishes below 1976 mainly because of the lack of extreme warmth (so far) on a daily record scale, the way 1976 anchored its long run of warmth with the notable heat in late June and early July.

But it looks like a close-run thing from the latest model runs. 

In fact almost all of the top ten summers had a warmer day than this summer may achieve. I have limited internet time, if somebody wants to flesh that out, otherwise I will try to substantiate the idea when I have time later this month.

2018 record more days over 30C than 1976 so I'm not sure if I agree that 1976 has more to extreme heat however 1976 has a higher maximum of 35.9 but the heat was less well spread than 2018. One interesting thing is that if this month does beat 1976 its Cet will be around the same as July 2013 which felt like a vastly superior month: the very hit first week is definitely holding the month up

Second half of this month will bring cooler nights already cooler at night now at 13c here even though we`re in a warm sector.

17.2c good chance.

Well, the second half of August is cooler than the first half on aveage, so I would certainly think so. Doesn't take a clairvoyant to figure that out.
