Before anyone draws too many conclusions, I should say I abhor the heat and
humidity of summer, much preferring the cooler half of the year.

However, the GFS run has been remarkably consistant (considering the range)
of late. It's been showing high pressure moving northwards next weekend,
bringing hot air over the UK and today's 06z run is no exception.

The ensembles show an amazing degree of confidence this far out:

The Countryfile forecast didn't give even a hint of it, so I'll remain
sceptical.

OK, I concede - recent medium range forecasts seem to confirm this
likelihood now.
