Increasing signs now, for another long lasting heatwave.
Possibly as intense as the last one

I'll be enjoying some good night's sleep from now until Thursday.

Not everyone enjoys it, and it's bad news for the water situation in
the South-East

Remember people with Hayfever & Athsma suffer bigtime during spells of
high heat & humidity. (Hardly ever mentioned in the news)

I set up a loop by opening tabs on this link for the charts of 11th to
16th inc. : http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten/tkfaxbraar.htm

It shows a series? of Low pressure areas sweeping into the Arctic. I
fear that the Arctic ice cover will be missing next winter too. But I
know little of the predominant weather patterns there to be making much
more than a suggestion.

For these Lows are not that unusual however they do provide warm
weather by Arctic standards.

Meanwhile it is obvious to all that an unusual situation persists in
the UK. I dare say a few residents of much of southern China, Southern
California, Southern Chile and West Java, Indonesia would gladly trade
places.

I wish I could say what was causing the problem but one thing I do know
is that when a run of such a pattern in the UK finally breaks, it does
so with cataclysmic results; not necessarily cataclysmic in the UK
-although floods have been known as the weather "pays its debt".

I would suggest that all be on the lookout for unusual geophysical
events.
