Hi. My mother lives on the Algarve. Just how hot is the black bit??

I can't get to your data source to find out for myself

Barbecues at the weekend, gorgeous sunset this evening, thundery activity forecast for Thursday. There, I think that's all bases covered.

Weather is looking st for this weekend.

Low pressure and a severe weather warning for the south coast.

Saturday bike ride will be interesting.

That's the Bournemouth Air Show screwed until Sunday then..

Plan to go camping fri, sat, sun evenings with kids and grandkids.


Might need to have a chat about delaying a couple of weeks... 50mph winds and young kids in tents are not normally good bedfellows.

Tbh I'm more concerned about the family BBQ I have planned for Saturday, but that's a royal pita.

Its pretty standard, i had a boat for 6 years and live nearby, not once during that time did we have a decent day on the Friday of the airshow , either getting blown sideays, drowned or both. Same every year like pushing a button. One of my mates runs a fishing charter and just been ribbing him as he's going to be out there tomorrow.

Warming up again after the rubbish weekend.

One last plume?

(This picture will probably change so don't blame me when the plume has vanished!)

[Puggit]

Heat and thunder this week. SE corner winning in particular for thr heat.

[Mr GrimNasty]

South and East quite widely at 30C so far.

[mcelliott]

Absolute belter here today, temperature around 29-ish with a light south easterly. Perfect. If anyone could give an accurate forecast for the Pyrenees, from the 4th September, as I'm starting a bike ride from the Atlantic coast to the Med. Hoping the weather will be kind.
