Unfortunately I agree with that and I am convinced that this time
next week even the most fanatic fans of hot weather will regret it! I
believe some places will get up to 35-36°C towards the second half of
the week and some local records will be broken.

I'd agree with that Fotis. A steady increase of about 2°C per day over the
next 3 to 4 days seems quite feasible, assuming a max of around 29°C today
we're looking at 35°C by Wednesday with a thickness of around 574DAM in the
far south. A plume of 20C+ theta-w air flirts with the central south around
midweek but doesn't last long. This trend reflected in the GFS London
ensemble

Whatever happens, it'll be too hot for me.

Cheers,
Jon.
