You can see it on the forecast charts leaving North Africa at T+96 and at present, it's forecast to affect the UK at the start of July.

It's under my 10-day forecasting radar and these forecast plumes do have a tendency to be shifted eastwards when they get as far north as the UK, nearer the outcome time (i.e. to 'topple'), but if the charts stay the same, we could see temperatures of 30C+ in the south at the start of next month.

And over 40C in southern Spain by the end of this week and into next week.

Cannot remember when the last time 582dm was forecast over spain http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/brack4.gif

Lots of VERY dry ground too. If it settles for any length of time the low-level feed off the continent could get very hot indeed

Yes it could be absolutely vile!
Today is hot enough for me with a reasonable dewpoint of 13C. Could get over
25C on Dartmoor in the plume and not fall below 14C at night making it very
uncomfortable for sleeping (at least for me). Glad I don't live in a city,
especially in the SE, 32C+ by day and 19C at night would be a nightmare.

Well, chacun à son gout - it suits me. You don't *have* to have bedclothes or pyjamas (I won't) and that makes getting up so much easier, something I'm never very good at. I find that hot weather, and especially a hot night, has a kind of sleazy exotic appeal and this outweighs any slight physical discomfort.

I wonder if it's that rare. The record for southern England is 573 or 574 dam so 582, "the purple line", should not be too exceptional for Spain.. Besides, thicknesses over Spain are artificially enhanced a little by the fact that much of Spain is quite elevated and acts as a high-level heat source, cf Tibet, western USA. Spain is just about big enough for this effect to show.

No we don't *have* to have bedclothes or pyjamas - thanks for stating
the blindingly obvious - but in a really hot spell, that's not enough.
At least in cold weather, you can put more on.

Having the window open will also be a problem with this very high
pollen count. That also puts the kibosh on any use of fans.

Roll on winter!

My window is open all year from -9C outside to +29.8C outside (my highest
temperature recorded up here), unless it is very windy. Just cannot sleep
without fresh air. I do keep curtains drawn during summer days to stop
heat building in the room but once night time temperatures get above 14C I
struggle to sleep as my whole body, especially my feet feels too warm. I
have the same problem camping on the rare occasions I holiday in hot
places. The perfect bedroom temperature for me is 10C.


Anything below 15°C is a bit chilly for me for sleeping. I don't really
have
an upper limit though. I'm fine at 25°C. All that stuff you hear on the TV
forecasts in hot spells about it being uncomfortable for sleeping doesn't
apply to me. Just sleep above the covers!

The 582 dm air was over most of Spain and Portugal when I visited at the
end of August and early September last year.

Away from the coast the temperatures were between 35C and 40C in the
places I visited such as Beja, Evora and Abrantes.

It was toasty and I remember the 2nd of September being a particularly
hot day.

It was refreshingly cooler back in Lisbon with the maximum temperature
there around 25C - 28C.
