I wouldn't pay too much attention to that, personally. It might get warmer (or not) but their 5 day forecast only has a < 40% chance of being right for the next day. Recently it been right on day 5 - with "today" being day 1 - just once in the past month. Which is quite amazing when you realise that in the last 30 days they have only forecast 7 different types of weather. Random chance would have been "lucky" 4 times!

Yeah... I've heard that the 45c temps hitting the US at the moment will be coming our way, although by the time the warm air hits the UK it will be a lot cooler, but still 30c - 32c....

All I know is it was that cold last night I popped the central heating back on... and it's July !!!

THe warm air from USA will hit the UK? Laws of physics suggest it will be picking up a lot of water vapor as it drifts over the atlantic...

[Tantalus]

Ooh Goody... more barbeque weather

[Hemsy]

Latest from Holland: RAIN...Not expecting clear skies for a while :-(

That's what I thought.... most of the time when we get heat waves it's due to warm air coming from the continent not the US...It was hearsay
