Nights in the SW, this week? Pretty perfect, I would think. Mild and

bearable. I'm just excited by the chance of some lovely summer
weather!

Being in a rural, valley location near the sea, the nights always have
managed to cool down. Even in 2006, the warmest night of that year was in
early September, and that was only 17.7°C (5th). Nights that stay above 17°C
are quite rare.

Quite different to when I lived in London as a student, I remember nights
where the temperature stayed in the 20s, and some nights where it was still
25°C+ at midnight. August 1997 was particularly bad with many a sticky,
uncomfortably hot night, something akin to the Med.

Methinks that Thursday will be a hot one. I reckon that the beach will be
where you'll find me, taking a long, cooling dip in that there briny.

High of 20.7C here today, at work so again missed a pleasant day.

Personally I've never been keen on the cool summer nights here, gets
chilly too quickly in the evenings.

Just hoping that the weather lasts long enough for a BBQ at the end of
my run of shifts.....

It might do, Steve! All sorts of chances of that heat lasting into the
start of August now. It's like someone has burst North Africa's bubble
allowing hot air to escape into Western Europe. If those charts
verify, the last third of July will have been very warm in the South
and East of the UK. It's not just us either. Like, I've said,
scandinavia is in for a heatwave and the rest of Western Europe looks
hot over the next 10 days, at least.

Evening/night-time temperatures in the UK look warm and if you can
avoid the odd thundery shower, it could be perfect BBQ weather on some
of the coming late July evenings and perfect beach weather in the
daytime, away from the NW.

Some areas having a little sizzle today, but it's not as warm as it
looked like it would be 3 days ago. There's also some changes to the
outlook, since then There's a battle going on between low pressure to
our South-West and high pressure to our North-East and it now looks
much more like the Atlantic will out, rather than the high pressure.
Both the gfs and the ECM show low pressure having finally overcome the
Scandinavian block by T240. If that verifies, the first week of
August, in much of the UK, would be unsettled and cooler. Yeuch. The
SE and the East are still very likely to have the best of the
weather.

On the other hand, Europe still looks very hot to the start of August,
but the NW fringes get progressively cooler as the first week
progresses and I fear that is more likely to be the case, than the
heat staying for us. *((
