He's still enjoying my snow.
If you look at netweather and find somewhere near you it does a 14 day forecast.

Changes quite a lot though!

Thanks! So it's getting hot then!
It's getting hot - briefly!Pleasant in the South and East for the weekend. Then a general warm up for almost entire UK. Could well see 30oC on Tuesday (of course I have a business trip to Manchester). The heat could trigger widespread thunder, generally in the north.
Weds sees a very early break down. More to come on that, but there's potential for most widespread and severe thunder so far this year. Remains pleasant enough in the South later in the week.

Caught the end of a discussion on LBC about the accuracy of weather forecasting, and had my suspicions confirmed;
The Met Office is the most accurate for 24 hour forecasting but after that it is the least accurate.
Unfortunately did not hear who is most accurate for longer term, but vaguely remember the Swiss being mentioned.

If like to know this too. BBC weather app seems very inaccurate and Beeb ( met off) missed this mini heatwave The Met Office is the most accurate for 24 hour forecasting but after that it is the least accurate.

Are you ready for the 1 day heat wave?
34 degrees is quite an incredible heat considering the lack of 'build up'
It isn't though is it.34 degrees is quite an incredible heat considering the lack of 'build up'
Gets to that in the UK give or take every year

You've missed my point - it's not an incredible temperature, although slightly out of the ordinary. What is incredible is the speed it has built up. Normally for this kind of temperature you need lots of ducks in a row in terms of cloudless days, high pressure anchored in the correct location to get light southerly winds and we require these conditions in place for a while. This has arrived quickly.
Ahhh point taken although the temperature has been building up for at least 5 days. Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
