This summer has been pathetic
Forty degrees in Spain & Greece and flights are cheap ✈
It used to be called summer. Why is there deep red danger to death warnings every time we have a halfway hot day now?
Keep your heatwave . Thank heaven its so brief. Hate the sticky heat.
I’m with you, can’t wait for autumn 🍂
I can remember as a kid in the 1060s the summer holidays seemed to be weeks of glorious sunshine , temperatures in the upper twenties centigrade.
I remember roads melting and yes endless weeks of mid 20c
Damn, you remember a lot. 1060s...
It's not nice to work in anything above 30 Celsius... I'm glad that it is not set to last. Cooler weather is more hygienic and better for most folks.
Most people who want a long hot summer have never tried landscape gardening or building work. Nice to have dry but 20ish is plenty.
Indeed! Statistics show that the heat kills more than the cold. Anything above 35ºC is really dangerous for the human body. On the other side, it is possible to tolerate 3ºC for a longer period of time. Even hypothermia is a mechanism of defence for the body, as it slows down its functions to save energy. But hyperthermia denatures body proteins leading to bodily functions shutting down, which if too extensive, or in critical areas, lead to death.
@@h418lfc I worked as a bricklayer for 30 years in Perth Australia, I loved it, Id sooner work in hot sun 32c than 4c and drizzle.
@@nepaleseman1010 I take my hat off to you, it's the humidity here that i struggle with that comes with the heat. I guess we are both just acclimatised to different weather.
Totally agree
It’s offensive that you think you’re new deep reds and ominous language will make everyone forget the weather we have experienced our whole lives
The heat we are experiencing since 2019 is NOT the weather we have been experiencing in the last 100years. Listen. Learn. Read.
28 C was the LOW last night here in our neck of the woods in the US. Praying for you over there with your cool summer.
No one in the UK has air conditioning in their homes. Do you have it? Given your comment, you’ll not be turning yours on.. you don’t need it! 😎
Needless to mention the recent monstrous heatwave in California with the temperatures reaching nearly 50C for 2 weeks! 28C would be a gorgeous day for us here.
We are very fortunate to have this weather pattern and not to experience what’s happening in Europe. Our old folk aren’t suffering and it’s great for garden. Lovely 🌈🙏😀
Not for the farmers though.
I’m with you on that mate 👍
2 days of sun is not a heatwave.
Very happy with this forecast.
Just got back from Pembrookshire after a 3 day break, Monday was horrendous, but Tuesday and Today were great and now a week of dry and sun in Oxfordshire.
So glad the heat only lasts a few days - enough to enjoy it, but not enough for it to heat the house up.
That's the problem with have in the UK - our houses are built to retain heat, so more than 3 or 4 days of very hot weather becomes a nightmare, as there's no escape from it, unless you have an aircon, which not many homes here have. By an aircon, I mean a real wall mounted one, not those pathetic portable ones that struggle to cool a cupboard, let alone a lounge or bedroom.
Mid-20's is just perfect for the whole of summer as far as I'm concerned.
And thank goodness for the Atlantic.
Climate breakdown is going to get steadily worse and soon, prolonged 40c plus summers on the Continent will be the norm.
That'll touch us a bit in the east on occassion - but we have that get-out-of-jail free card in the shape of the Atlantic.
So..make the most of the next few days, that will be our summer? 😕
The weather right now is perfect…a shame it’s here for such a short while.. ☀️👌🏼
Yes, not going to last long and not even covering the entire country. Ho hum, got to make the best of the summer, whatever the weather
Doesn't seem to last very long and we are back to cool ... given up with this summer
Here we go again......a bit of summer weather, hooray.
Nice got two lines of washing dry and another gone out for overnight drying
Why does 30c show as such a dark red these days? As for heat wave, it's barely a ripple. Why don't we get rain waves?
It was updated a few years ago to be easier to see for those with reduced colour vision, including total colour blindness, and one of the changes was to make the red colours darker. It also included a higher max temp of around 45C.
It's just the colour gradient of the key used to represent the temperatures. Since 30c is quite high for the UK, it is shown as red to show heat or to draw attention to it. When we had the 40c heatwave, the temps in the UK varied from about 15 - 41c on the maps, so a large colour scale was needed to represent this difference which went from green, to yellow, amber then dark red. It's the same principal for cold winter temps when they appear as purple, etc.
@@MyJakeyd But more people die of cold weather and that's blue?
@@davidcann6021Indeed
Surely a rain wave would be a flood.
Three warm days and a thunderstorm. Typical summer weather…..
This isn't typical weather even for UK. 2022 was abnormally hot, this year abnormally wet
Honestly they are so alarmist - we used to have happy smiling sunshines on the map not angry red for the same temperatures.
@@herenow6953 I totally agree we've had the worst summer in years and here they are trying their best to alarm everyone i say ditch the crimson reds and go back to the happier yellows on our forcasts.
@@rodneyquinn2528Wet and cold near me in the North
Thanks , Annie . And take care of your little passenger .
I'm really loving the cooler temperatures glad it's not going to last too long!
Come off it! A couple of days of 25-28C hardly qualifies as a heatwave.
That would depend on your global position, anything above 25c in Britain is a heatwave. I remember when I was a child in the 80s, 25c was on the front page of most newspapers. Now 30c is common.
I remember when I was an adult in the 80s when it was over 30c nobody complained because it was summer. Stop with your scaremongering
@@Dollarg11111 Adult
@@Dollarg11111 The highest temperature recorded in the UK in the entirety of the 80's was 34.4C in 1989, second highest was 33.0 in 1982, and none of the other years recorded higher than 31.5 (1980 and '81 didn't record any days over 30C at all). 30C was never normal in the 1980's at all.
Did you watch the video? She talked about the classification and how its unlikely to be a heatwave…
Thanks Annie.
Hope the mid to late 20c comes for 6 weeks this year…
Bring back the British sun 😄👍
Oh dam too cold I'm going to Morocco for some proper summer weather.
Oh come on. Those temperature colours are absolutely ridiculous.
25° looks like a raging inferno.
If the "Heatwave" lasted as long as the "Coldwave" we could talk about it being a normal summer.
A heatwave in July. Whatever shall we do
Yes one day off heat we must be grateful 🙏 lol
England's summer will be 54 hours long.
So it’s July, what is so unusual about two hot days? 😂😂😂
Surely the jet stream has been moving more to the north of the UK this week, and that's why temperatures have been on the up, and this combination of being on the warm side of the jet and southerly air-flow will continue to allow heat to build for the rest of this week and into the weekend (away from the north and west).
We’re running out of time to get a summer this year. The odd day here and now doesn’t cut it.
One of worst summers on record
Not much info about Sunday. Will this be more settled? Thinking of Fairford Airshow thanks!
Oh look, a heatwave/couple of days of warmer weather. Only matters South of the Watford gap though.... As usual
Don't shoot the messenger it not Mrs shuttleworth who sets the rules.Thanks Annie good work
Let's enjoy it while it lasts, so far Summer has been a let down. Bring on my favourite season - The Autumn 🍂🍁 we are slowly moving closer.
Those signals for higher pressure at end of next week are already gone then!? No surprise
Caithness has had solid cloud cover since the 1st June. Strong winds for the whole of June and very cold as well. The worst weather we've ever seen in June. Still cloudy all July too.
Why is it so hot in London? What special features does London have to make it so hot?
Urban heat island
It's in the south of the country, in a shallow geographic basin, and an urban area
Very populated as well... a lot of things to exasabate the heat ie buildings & cars & transport in general...in general more things generating heat and gets trapped more...
bricks!
Firstly, it's in the South East, secondly, it's a City.
Also, don't forget, it's not really Britain 😆
Ive seen better summers ☀️ completely yuck this summer. Id call it autumn mostly in northeast england. I use to love the season changes but weve had all seasons in this one summer.
30° and you call it heatwave 🤣
The average summer temperature for London is only 23C so when you get values that far exceed that for several days, it becomes a heatwave. The Met Office have a Deep Dive video explaining the different criteria for heatwaves depending on the average temperatures for the region, I just forget which one it is now.
Yes. That is a heatwave here. Go read up on it.
Yeah but for how long a wave is a week or more not a day
@@dave788it is defined as 3 consecutive days at or above the threshold for a given location. In this case, London may experience three days at pr above 28ºC (their threshold). If this happens, you have met the criteria for a heatwave. But, if any of those three days stays below 28ºC, then the heatwave will not occur.
@@dave788 to be clearer, in the past the definition was three consecutive days at or above 5ºC compared to any given location average maximum temperature. But, as many close locations have slightly different averages, due to orography (altitude, closeness to the sea, etc), it would be quite difficult to show a map pinpointing every different weather station and if a heatwave has or hasn't happened there. So, in my humble opinion, the MetOffice, correctly, averaged the temperatures in a broad area with likewise maximum temperatures, and established these thresholds (which are, in fact, 5ºC at or above the averaged maximum temperature for that area). Long story short, it has been studied and shown that three days are enough to cause some health issues on more vulnerable individuals, and if you consider that cooler climates often don't have air conditioning (as is the case here in England - and the whole of the United Kingdom, to be fair), the heat builds up inside the houses. In my experience, warmer nights are way worse than hot days, but houses here have such thick walls that even a fresh, but short, night is not capable of cooling off the interior. Combine that three days in a row, and it gets quite uncomfortable, and potentially dangerous.
Bring on the comic Jim Dale
I heard he is currently appearing in "Carry on Climate Change"
🌍may we have more details on wind speed and direction 🌏
hot hot hot then wet wet wet😂
Unless Saturday is above 27c for me it will probably be classified as a hot spell not heatwave
Why do people moan about heat if we get miserable weather all year?
Simple, a large percentage of people hate heat. OK. Thank you. 😂
We're British. Moaning about the weather is one of our national pastimes!
I'm complaining it's too wet and cold
It won't be too hot and certainly won't last long!!!
At least you got a couple of days out of it. We got nothing 😢
Yes, but you've got proper uplands... although they may not be sunlit for much of the time. Can not have it all!
They over egg the heat map. It's London not Kuwait.
I hate summer so I'm thrilled we basically haven't had one ❤
Thank you, Annie
I remember when I was a child in the 80s when 25c was a rare occurrence, now it seams 30c is common.
I remember 1976. 30 degrees every day for weeks and weeks.
@@bladeboy2041 First time i got sunburnt.
I remember when I was an adult in the 80s when it was over 30c nobody complained because it was summer. Stop with your scaremongering
1976 was year off hot weather I was age 1 and 2022
I remember when every weather report wasn't left and woke. Red 27 degrees. Really?!?!
By heatwave you mean summer
Summer is on its way you mean ??
Don't hold your breath!
I’m done heading back overseas !! For good !!!
I need to order at least a dry day for Saturday 27th please, as my Grandson's first birthday bbq is being held. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 🙏
Venite in Italia a provare " a real heat wave " 😂😂😂😂 ❤
Thanks Annie 😊👍🏼
Ooooh scarey - 2 days of summer heat
I don’t really want any storms because I don’t like thunderstorms
Wow they mentioned other areas than London and the south
my cat will need his sun glass .
Not long after tomorrow Friday it's forcasting rain for two wks and more...
This summer is rubbish.
Wimbledon is over so give us some sun.
Come on I remember the 1976/77 summer now that was a heat wave
That's it... I'm buying a house in LA for summer & another in Australia for winter 😅
Heatwave.== just summer
these temps have been about 4 or 5 degrees less on here recently in the southwest 🤥
38 in nimes France and not a heatwave here!
What a load of rubbish I’m in Accrington Lancashire,,it been cloudy and dull all day
That's summer then in Accy. A few dry days is a miracle up that way 😂
Is Annie also expecting something?!
I think congrats are in order.
Now pay attention, there will be a test at the end.
Hosepipe ban imminent in that case!
The graph near the end was totally nonsensical, did anyone else understand it ?
I see Ireland is still wet 😢 no improvement
Rather this bit of "heat" than the awful weather in the US...
Great,its going to rain, then.
Met office have completely lost it 😂😂😂
It seems they're all climate change activist these days. i suppose money talks !!
This summer has been superb. No mozzie bites, no spiders, low hay fever, no constantly sweating, no sun burn, no covering myself in sun cream, comfortable to work in, comfortable to exercise in, comfortable to sleep in. Roll on Autumn.
Heatwave is 40 plus
‘Heatwave’ lol 🫠🫠🫠🫠
Well thats the forecast for the southeast then.
At least it a brife spell of weather.
Come on MET office we know the climate is slowly getting warmer we don’t need hellish deep reds, people are/have become numb through constant OTT hysteria. It’s become wholly patronising now.
Classed as some days shirtless and shorts
Please let August be a Gooden 😊 sun 🌞 ☀️ 🌤
Lovely job to have a bit of everything. They are crying for cool on the continent. Take what you can get and make the most of it is my motto. My vegs are going bonkers.
Hi don't like the heat. I like the rain
Well off the mark with the last 10 day trend 😂
🌞 👍 😎 🍻 🎉
Got that wrong.
That’s not a heatwave😂
25° is the heatwave threshold?
What a load of nonsense.
Wo 28 😂
Not natural!!
Clickbait👎👎
Not really. The heat will still be very high but not for long to be a heatwave
Clickbait? It's the weather from the Met. Careful in that heat or your tinfoil hat will get very hot.
😂
I like weather front
