Hadley came in at 18.4C to the 10th so actually only since 2018. The first half is where we get more notable.

It looks very likely that the first half of this month will come in over 19*C, and the warmest first half of August since 2004 or possibly 2003.  As it stands now, even if it does cool off significantly during the second half of the month, any finish below the 17s looks very unlikely now.

Yes good chance will end up with the warmest first half to August since 2003. Good to compare with 1995 as well. In 2003 the heat relented mid month onwards, 1995 it didn't until the very tail end. Signs are things will cool off notably next week. Just seen stats, both 2003 and 1995 returned 19.8 degrees by 16th. Another hot month was 1997 get forgotten about that one because it was often wet, but it was exceptionally humid, worse than this month I remember.

this year the heat did not get going until the 5th and it looks like a nine to ten day hot spell.  In 2003 yes the heat moderated after mid-month although it tried to get hot again around the 22nd to 25th, but there was a cool northerly in the closing days of that month.

Be interesting to see what happens as a significant cool off is in the offing with possibly some pretty cool nights as part of it.

I think just how cool is very much up in the air though- there's an awful lot of warm air lingering around our shores well into next week, even to the north of the UK.

The other thing is that it's possible it could be a cool blip- no guarantee it will last until the end of the month. Still time for another hot spell before the month is out- look at what happened last year.

The coolest I see at the moment down here is 17c at night and 24c during the day and thats only at the far end ie 24th.

We are on the coast down here and its only down here true, but one would presume it will be warmer inland, 

Also the MO are still taking about warm to very warm till 25th then very warm at times possibly.

So yes a cool down but still above ave for most apart from the north west but thats taken for granted at this time of the year

A 'cool down' from 34C+ isn't particularly cool .  Relatively cooler, yes, but I don't think we can expect a return of Autumn just yet.

Indeed but I’m expecting maxes of 20-22 in Redhill from weekend for following week as an average.  Cooler nights too.  And I’m seeing even cooler air for last week of Aug....indeed keep and eye on that potential autumnal storm

Sheffield up to 19.1C +2.6C above normal. Rainfall unchanged.

A drop coming for the next five days most likely here due to north sea rubbish mostly.

In terms of warmth, this really is the 1st half of August we've been waiting for since 2003. Very good chance of recording 18C+ now I think. One poster was suggesting cool nights next week- I really can't see this. A lot of humid air around next week I reckon, which will keep temps up overnight.

I think we’ll see it freshen up generally, Redhill now feeling quite fresh already...very pleasant.  But we’ll see what happens

ECM.  GFS toying the same way.  Quite deep for August, not unique but potential there for some ‘awful summer weather’ ?

EWP only barely started now at 9 mm (as of 11th), probably added 4-6 mm since that report, with heavy rains in southern England ongoing, eventually ten-day GFS reaches a grid average of 50 mm (much more than that in Wales, parts of southwest England), and days 11-16 on GFS run looked quite wet also (estimated 30-40 mm there). All told, that adds up to about 100 mm for the month. 

Looks like CET will hover around current values in the low to mid 19s for a while then start to edge down with a sharper fall near the end. Probably would stay above 17.5 at least to adjustment phase. Can't rule out a finish above 18 as GFS can overplay cold at the time range shown.

You will have to forgive me

semantics?

what is that please, show me a model might help that illustrates what you are suggesting

 

Please ignore the last post as I have just seen a reply to me which I missed, ok the ECMWF, it might be right, it does look like a rather different period starting in the next 4-8 days. NOAA has shown a similar chart now for 3 outputs. Rare for it to be very wrong with that consistency.
