Bit of a strange one tomorrow, the far SE and East Anglia have potential to hit 28oC - versus something like 17oC in the West, with a band of Atlantic rain travelling west to east and fizzling out.

Potential for severe storms in the hot eastern areas.

Any hint as to where the westerly rain will peter out?

(I'm moving a boat in Poole harbour tomorrow evening and was hoping for a sunset beer.)

Probably one of those events that hard to tell, but I think if it rains it will be around lunch. Will remain cloudy though.

Mon/Tue starting to look really quite grim - exceptionally deep (for June) area of low pressure to pass over the UK. Lots of rain, could be fairly windy for time of year too. 50mph winds and trees in full leaf don't mix well. I'll be in Edinburgh, reporting live

On the flip side, there's a good chance it will drag warm continental air up behind it.

Just had my second soaking in a T and shorts, with added cycling this time.

What you're saying is that those 2/3 good days we had this week was summer aren't you?

Fingers cross, Royal Ascot is nearly here and i don't fancy drinking Pimms in the rain

(first world problem )

[Puggit]

Help, gonna melt! On the plus side, looks likely the weather is coming home with me next week

[Alucidnation]

Looking better for this week here in the south.

[Puggit]

A pleasant week in the south with some big potential for stable summer weather starting at the weekend.

Will keep an eye on it...

Pleased to escape the 34oC heat in N.Y. Say outside in Berksire now with the Weber firepit alight!

Monsieur Puggit

How is Ascot week looking? To be honest i'm most interested in Sat 24th

[Puggit]

When is Ascot week?

Increasingly hot through the weekend - chance of 30 in the SE on Sunday. Not sure how long the heat will last, likely to be a thundery breakdown on Mon or Tues bit not clear yet.

[Puggit]

Good signs that this won't be a 2-3 day warm flash like most in recent history. 30 degrees possible on Sunday in the SE, could see 32 on Monday. The fact that we're not seeing a breakdown on Monday means it could hang around for a while...

Warmth and sunshine likely to persist, but it's too far out to be certain. This is the UK, and the Atlantic has a habit of barreling in

The weather app on my computer seems to agree with you there, hopefully it is, I am looking forward to summer like weather on the solstice!

Weather apps are useful for the closest 24 hours - otherwise, ignore it
