No chance... 26 max in the SE.
I'm doubting the 'breakdown' . If there is, I think it will be minor and
return to high dominated stuff soon after... Maybe 30 degrees that week
(First week of August).

I doubt even that - the high looks as if it may be over Scandinavia,
which would pull in winds from NE or E, rather than S or SE which we'd
need for very high temperatures.
