Today's 06z GFS would have the CET around 20.4C after the first 10 days, and with the Met Office forecasts to the end of August suggesting a continuation of the current weather patterns, it's hard to justify guessing anything other than well above average.

If we got to that point by the 10th, assuming July finishes on 19.0C after corrections, we'd only need the remaining 21 days of August to average 17.2C for 2018 to be the warmest summer on record.

18.5*C and 84 mm, please. 

I have a feeling it could actually be even hotter, maybe even challenge 1995 for the top spot, but there's too much uncertainty with respect to the final week or so of the month, when the longer nights can really take their toll if the weather patterns are and clear with light winds, which has a habit of being the case when the school holidays are nearing their close, leading to a late panic to get out and about .

So realistically even if July doesn't do a 20*C which it wont.  August well could?

With this summer, who knows.  However, I feel August will be a little cooler and more unsettled than July but still well above average.  I will go for 18.3C and 70mm please.
