Yes it's barely dropping indoors by night here and I'm surrounded by open fields so it must be vile in more urban locations in Greater Manchester. 28C upstairs right now. And by morning time it only seems to drop by a degree or two even with the windows open all night. Wouldn't like to have a loft bedroom in this weather as you could easily add another couple of celsius. 

In the battle of the bedroom heat, ours was still 32c when it went dark last night but we seem to manage that at some stage most summers.

window wide open and lying on the top of the covers helps but still uncomfortable for a decent nights sleep.

Could see the tops of the CBs to the E and SE from here. They were miles and miles away!

miles from here too

[Had Worse]

Those CBs are on the right coming towards the  wheel.

Another hot day here (well I consider it hot) with the temp maxing out again at 26°C (80°F in old money), so while quite as hot as other parts of the region is still pretty hot.
 

The indoor temp has been 25/26°C which is massive for round here, alough I’ve been able to sleep okay and kept cool enough by going shirtless around the house. 
 

It has actually felt a bit more comfortable today due to a bit more breeze and slightly lower humidity with a minimum of 44%, yesterday it stayed above 50%. Today felt more like a day in July 2018 with the 26°C max, unbroken sunshine, low humidity and gentle easterly breeze.

 

A couple of more hot days to get through, with 27°C forecast on Wednesday and 28°C forecast on Thursday, before cooling down to 23°C on Friday and down to 20°C (average) with rain/showers over the weekend.
 

After that that it looks to be back to normal, 19/20°C, with a mix of cloud, sunshine and showers, and a more mobile westerly flow.

A bit better chance of thunderstorms tomorrow across our region but nothing widespread. But if you do catch one boy you'll know about it. As for tonight it's slightly cooler than last night currently a bone chilling 17.5C compared with 20C at the same time last night.

Another warm night here. 18°C with 72% humidity, at 20 minutes to midnight. 25°C indoors.

[Weather-history]

Met Office has a thunder symbol for my area at 4pm 

[Had Worse]

Nothing on mine.

Usually when it puts the symbol up, it never happens so I think I have more chance than you.

It has gone. Fair weather cumulus has developed.  Sky looks less clear as well.

[Had Worse]

Your chances have gone up.

[East Lancs Rain]

Another hot day today, blue sky and sunshine, currently 25C, though a few cumulus clouds strating to bubble up. Hopefully they'll turn into cumulimbus clouds and give us some thunder and a much needed downpour. Grass starting to go a slightlybrown now.

[East Lancs Rain]

Looks like a Big change is on the way...

It seems to always be the same story, we have a prolonged bit of lovely warm weather, gets announced as a heatwave, then it dies off a day or 2 later lol See there's a huge Yellow warning for rain for South of the region and the rest of the UK

Looks like we'll get some of the rain, but no storms

[WillinGlossop]

28c was quite nice walk this morning… not too hot… clouded up since 1300… felt quite humid but not rain/thunder… just watered garden and pots…. Time to chop chop chop for our test run of cooking paella on fire pit… test run for doing it on beach(we’ll friends beach hut) in Tankerton in Kent next week

[Joe Snow]

29c & sunshine sometimes turning a touch hazy much of the day here in S Cheshire. Feels like temperatures the hottest of this spell so far 32-33c with increased humidity. Looking likely to reach 30c tomorrow, a warm but more pleasant day Friday 24/25c  before much fresher weather with some rain moves in weekend onwards.Sadly not looking great on the storms front for us but boy weren’t we spoilt with storms last year. June & the August hot spell breakdown served up some fantastic storms from memory. My thoughts are for a fresher start to August before more settled and warmer conditions arrive mid month but we shall see.

Current temp 27.5 degrees. Highest of year so far and a major thunder cell has popped up just to our north. Credit to BBC who showed likely development. Will it continue to build and drop rain here.m no thunder heard yet..  but wind has picked up.

[Frigid]

Sky has completely clouded over here. Been like this for an hour, but the temperature is still 27c. Feels tropical atm. 

[Frost HoIIow]

Yes a bit of welcome relief as the sun has now disappeared. This should hopefully reduce the house temp by a degree or two if it stays cloudy.

I’ve done a tour of the Lakes through work today visiting Cockermouth, Workington, Millan and Ulverston. You could see the cloud instability bubbling up early afternoon and some stunning views.

And St Bees too

[carl1980]

29°c now don't know what the max was today feeling hot

[damianslaw]

Breached 28 degrees past hour. Radar shows precipitation overhead, red colours..nothing falling from the sky though! 

Edit - a few raindrops are falling but it's an odd shower.. not quite going. Just on the edge of it. No thunder. Looks like it will be gone 10 mins..

Max in SW Bowland   was 29.4C  84.9 F

Now 27.6C  81.7F.

Got some work done in garden between 7and 8am.  Was misty and chilly then.

[East Lancs Rain]

Cumulimbus!

 

Can heat some distant rumbles, gradually getting louder, getting excited now!
