Any signs of consistent high pressure for the South-East in the next few weeks Puggit? 
Chances are improving - there were lots of scenarios in play involving locations of low pressure systems, but it seems like the South should do ok this week.Maybe an iffy weekend - and then...?

This was the view today while eating lunch. It did take a bit of effort to get there though (around 800m altitude walking up from sea level)!

While erring on the side of caution for next weekend, the signs are growing that we could be heading towards our first proper hot period after next weekend. Some chance remains for some rain at the weekend.
Regardless, the upcoming week remains pleasant, certainly for everywhere south of the M62 - temps in the low 20s.

Signs are building for a cracking July...
What about Saturday in the south east? I have 50 kids round to celebrate my daughters birthday, for obvious reasons I want them in the garden 
every single weather report I can find says it will piss down, youre my last hope I'm camping near Bristol after attending a 40th party in a farm - current thoughts are a dry evening
These timings are as far out as possible, so could change.

There's going to be rain around, coming from the NW, so it reaches the SE last (ie afternoon/evening). It's likely to be sunshine and showers rather than a washout.

Absolutely melting today, and trying to get to sleep but it's too warm. It's been in the high twenties for the last number of days, and between lots of glass windows and houses designed for proper winters with no air conditioning it's a nightmare. Apparently some of the tourists were driving quite a long way to find hotels with air conditioning in them, 
No so normal in the arctic! On the plus side had some amazing walks and fishing trips, plus some volleyball today,

Thurs/Fri looking good for central and southern areas - maybe up to 27. The East Coast isn't looking pretty in the meantime though. Strong northerly winds and plenty of rain. Weekend is looking like sunshine and (heavy) showers.
As for the heatwave it's close by, but just not arriving on our shores. Hurricane Arthur and the current super-typhoon in the western Pacific seem to have messed things up. Signs are now pointing for an Atlantic dominated period
