Saturday looks like it could be an April peach of a spring day for
much of England, South Wales and the SE of Scotland (maybe even further North as Aberdeen). The first 21C of the year ought to be achieved somewhere. I still stick by my 22.3C in Hurn as being the location of April's max UK temp and Saturday looks the likeliest day for it to be achieved! Maybe somewhere in the SE will beat it! Make the best of it, for the last week of April and into early May look unsettled and cool. Paul |

Maybe somewhere in the SE will beat it! ... have just been looking at the figures for our part of the world for Saturday (as we live a few miles up the road from Hurn). I make the forecast partial (850-1000hPa) thickness ~1355m (from GFS/06Z run), which suggests *unadjusted figure* of 18.5/19degC, and given strong sunshine mid/late afternoon might imply 20 is possible if *all* other conditions are right. Using the crude '850T+10' rule gives 18/19degC. However, the Channel close-by is not much more than 9.5/10degC, and the wind is forecast to be from that direction all day - well mixed environment too. The problem is how the warming of the Bournemouth/Christchurch conurbation is going to play - it often leads to a late maximum (or rather later than might be expected from a 'standard' heating curve), and there might be a bit of help as well in the final Tx from strong surface heating from that direction. Taking all these factors together, I wouldn't want to promise much more than 19degC for Hurn. If we get 22.3, then I'll start suspecting the location of the screen, the integrity of the instrumentation or a passing FlyBe ;-) I would tend to look to areas further downwind for the day maximum tomorrow - perhaps north of London, Fens, East Midlands, Lincs, etc., and also perhaps north Kent coast?

You may be right, Martin, but I'll stick to my guns, seeing as I suggested hurn a few days ago! I already suspect the location of the screen there......which is the reason I suggested Hurn might be the warmest. Can anyone confirm, or dash my suspicions? Paul |

Paul Even with an increase in theta-w of circa 6 degrees and potentially less cloud tomorrow it's highly unlikely to be 8 degrees warmer at Hurn tomorrow compared to today. With a 10KT SW'ly around 17 or 18°C seems reasonable. Jon. |

Hurn dragging it's feet at 16C, might come up on the outside, later in the race, when the nearby tarmac/concrete really heats up! *)) The first 21C of the year is pretty certain today. How high will it go? Paul |

Jon. The onshore breeze is holding the temperature to around 15C here, nearer 13.5C on the water's edge, but it's doing a good job of accumulating some warm surface water in the Bay. Now up to 11.7C at the Penzance buoy. A couple of degrees higher than that right on the beach. Southerly wind still only Force 2-3. Graham Penzance |
