gfs 12z would have us believe that the heat will clip the SE. It is so interesting watching the models struggling with the path of the first North African plume of the year.

It really has been fascinating to watch the model "Ummms" and "Ah's" on this one. Confidence from both models that the heat will spill into the SE and perhaps, along with it, some beefy thunderstorms.

As long as it's all over and done with quickly and Royal Ascot on the Saturday is bathed in sunshine from a brief ridge of high pressure, I don't mind. *))
