Peter Gibbs siad this morning that "Yes, there is a heatwave on the

it breaks down t he next day before we return to unsettled and average

temperatures. Is that what it's come to, one day is a heat wave in a

modern summer. I am already getting people telling me there is a heat

wave on the way and having to lower their expectations.

Probably a heatwave *relative* to the last few years. It looks like the
eastern half of the UK will be brushed by the plume - with the main action
400 miles east over Germany. As you say a "very warm" June day, which is
nothing exceptional.


Carol Deadwood on one forecast this morning said it looks like lasting right
through the weekend with a few thunderstorms and showers !

Just pointless forecasting if thats what you can call it..
