I saw 26C for SE today and 31C tomorrow?

30C was forecast for Lords today and possible 34 tomorrow!


A very much more pleasant 16 deg here at 1500z. Grey and overcast all
day with slight drizzle for much of the time.


I can hardly believe there can be such a difference over less than 200
miles at this time of year. In my sheltered Somerset back garden it is
28C with a dew point of 18C, and I am beginning to wilt.

Are you being serious??

Temperature differences of that order ocurr over far shorter distances
than that at this, or indeed any other time of year.

Really? Mid July inland UK with no sea breeze?

I would love you to show me an example.

Yes, I have a chart from the mid 80s with a temperature of 15C over Brest,
and 40C at Lyon, but that is France and a warm front was between the two,
with an easterly ahead of it and a southerly behind.

At 1600z today Altnahara had a temp of 26 deg while Wick, only 50 miles to the
east, had 14 deg. Aviemore had 28 deg while Aberdeen had 16.
