The final hot sunny and sticky day to this hot spell for today before less settled and somewhat cooler weather moves in on Friday with perhaps storms for some parts.

This hot spell is the warmest since July 2006. So far I've recorded 11 days with afternoon temperatures above 21C with the highest being Wednesday with 31.3C. Perhaps it may be beaten today?

 

 

Thursday

A hot sunny day with long spells of sunshine and only light winds. Feeling sticky again with a top temperature near 30 possibly 31C

 

Friday

Low pressure to the west with a cold front moving in from the west

Fairly cloudy much of the day and humid as thundery rain moves in from the west. Some heavy bursts with a risk of an isolated torrential downpour. Most will miss this but be aware if it does affect your area then brief flash flooding could occur.

Temperatures starting round 15C and topping out about 24C or so

 

Saturday

Low pressure to the west. The cold front with its thunder now east of us but further troughs coming in from the west

Much less humid than for some time. Sunny intervals and a few relatively light showers dotted about with many missing them.

Temperatures from near 13C, cooler than for some time to a high of about 23 or 24C, so not hot but still warm.

 

Sunday

Low to the west with troughs swinging round into the country

A day of sunny periods with clouds bubbling up to give a few showers in the afternoon but many will miss them

Temperatures from about 13C to around 23C or so.

 

Monday

Low pressure now NE of the country with a ridge trying to build in from the SW

Sunny spells but rather more bubbly cloud about which is going to give most parts of the area a shower or two during the late morning into the evening. Perhaps a heavy one here and there.

Temperatures from 12C to about 20-21C so less warm than for a while but not cool by any means.

 

Looking ahead for the week and pressure is going to remain low to the NE of the country giving a flow from north of west. This means it will be less warm than recently with a mix of sunshine and showers but nothing very wet seems to be showing at the moment.

 

   
          And for further ahead then try the link below. It gives a very broad brush treatment to whether it will be dry/wet/windy/warm or cold. So far I have had reasonable success with it since I started doing it in late January 2008.

 

Its giving a reasonable return with about 70% accuracy at first decreasing to just over 60% by the end of the period, usually 16-18 days ahead.Not bad for the time scales involved. It does give a decent idea of will it be warmer or colder than usual, wetter or drier.
