Heatwave UK

[STEED]

Britain set for two-week heatwave

Britain is heading for a sizzling two-week heatwave with temperatures set to soar into the nineties, forecasters predicted today.
The sun was expected to blaze across the country over the next fortnight, with London, the south east and the Midlands catching the most rays.
British Weather Services expert Jim Dale said: "We're going to hit the magical figure of 90F (32C)."

I checked the 5 day forecast and at very best for London on Wenesday 75F then going down.

All you Brits do is complain about the weather... :O:

[TarJak]

:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2: 32C a Heatwave.:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

Try a 3 week period with top temps over 40C and lows of 32C and see how you go.

Or a 3 Month Drought that kills half the crops and runs up prices every Winter. :03:

Thats not true...bloody weather up & down more often than a pair of whores draws. :har:

[darius359au]

32C a heatwave.......:har::har::har::har: as tarjack says comeback when it's 40C and we'll talk:D

[Sailor Steve]

It was 93F here the other day. The good news? Humidity was 9%.

[STEED]

Now the Daily Express is saying the same thing, just saw it on the news! :huh:


:sunny:Topical Heatwave to hit the UK this week:sunny:

[Karle94]

In Norway, 20C degrees is a miracle. You keep all the good weather, you can get our summer heat for your rain. I hate the sun and the heat it produces, it burns...a lot.

[Sailor Steve]

I just now realized it's a poll, and I'm offended. Where are the "I live/don't live in the UK and I don't care" buttons?

[BossMark]

Great British weather, rain rain, rain and more bloody rain :nope: but at least I get wet on the inside as well as out :haha:

[Reece]

Great British weather, rain rain, rain and more bloody rain :nope: but at least I get wet on the inside as well as out :haha:
Ah! an honest man!:up:

[Oberon]

Daily Mail...they are about as accurate as the Express when it comes to weather. We might get a week or two of warm weather early next month or in August, but I think this summer is going to be a fairly low key affair.
Still, don't forget that March 2012 was unseasonably warm, and it was only seven years ago that we got whalloped by a record-breaker.
In the grand scheme of things, seven years is nothing.

Just dusting off the Crystal ball....


I see a boiling hot heatwave with a good helping of fog with a sudden down pour of rain that will over flow the rivers causing country wide flooding which in turn will freeze over as the whole country is hit by a snow blizzard lasting days pushing the temperature's down to -5. We can expect high winds to no winds and the odd freaky weather patten like the odd tornado here and there.

Just another day in the British Isles then...

[STEED]

Yep..:rotfl2:


I think I've covered it all unless my Crystal ball is on the blink.

[Wolferz]

Tonight's forecast.....
DARK!
Continuing into the morning hours where there will be a period of scattered light in the east.

[Herr-Berbunch]

I've not heard any warnings for hosepipe bans so far this year despite a relatively dry winter, so maybe it will happen and then we'll get the ban. Or it won't. :hmm2:

Yeah! :arrgh!:

[Rhodes]

I exchange your heat wave by our cold front! Still no summer temperatures around here (still 20ºC)! :D

Ah, the early days, back when George was truly funny. :rock:

"We're expecting a cool Canadian low...not to be confused with a warm Mexican high!"

[STEED]

Welcome to day one of the heatwave.

Errr...Mmmmmmmmm...warmish day. :sunny:

[STEED]

Day Two, the day before the big one..

YES..Humid and sticky! They may have go that right but overcast day. :sunny:

The British Isles are due the Atlantic monsoon, happens every June ready for Wimbledon. :cool:

[Catfish]

I guess England is in for a treat, today in northern Germany we had 35 degrees, afternoon 5 p.m. north side of house in the shadow ..

About time ! Yes to summer :rock:

Did BossMark say he was going to streak on centre court this year for 100 cans of beer. :hmmm:

[Spiced_Rum]

I think he is doing a duet with Cliff Richard if it rains.

[STEED]

Both in the buff? :haha:

[TarJak]

You sound way to keen on that STEED.:O:

[Oberon]

Heads up, I think the South-East is about to get their first heavy storms of the year. Spanish plume seems to have spun up some convective action in northern France, but instead of it bouncing off the forcefield in the English Channel and going North-East to Holland, it's actually coming across on a North/North-Easterly course.

Some links for those interested:

http://www.sat24.com/?ir=true&co=true&li=false

Looks like the biggest one of the three groups is going to take the usual route to Holland though.

I think I'm going to get damp on the way home this morning....

[Oberon]

They all bounced off the forcefield again!

http://stickerish.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/RageFaceBlackSS.png

Distant rumbles but nothing solid, a bit of rain but nothing decent.

Another large cell spinning up over Paris way at the moment, showing some nice meso tendancies, but will probably hit the forcefield and bounce off into the North Sea again... :nope:

36 degrees Celsius outside, 27 in the house .. arrrgh
I guess the best insulation does not help you after more than 3three days, unless you have a cave, or a big hole in the ground.

:oops: <- i'm not embarassed, it is just hot.

[STEED]

It was the big one yesterday and no where near what the Mail/Express said. Rather sticky & humid it was, bit fresher today along with some light rain...cough. Everyone got that wrong, heavy rain my beer belly.

[Jimbuna]

I was in 37ºClast week but that was in Turkey :)

If I sea a heatwave up here I'll be sure to wave back :03:

Walked out of work and it was pissing it down :/\\!!

[Oberon]

Well, my Uncle just put forward the possibility of a mini-heatwave (temps of 27-28C) beginning in a week or so, so watch this space, he's usually pretty correct about these things.

Roasting Heat Wave Starts Sunday

On the radio today we will be up in the 80's on Sunday and by Wednesday over 90's and may top the big 100 and over on Friday!

Strip off and slap on the suncream and work on that tan while drinking freezing cold beer.

[Oberon]

Well, let me put it to you this way:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7042220.stm
From readers comments:

Michael Fish should not keep stating that the hurricane he was talking about referred to Florida. He did not mention the States and it was clear it was in connection with the UK. Our local newspaper, the Surrey Mirror, carried a headline the day before the storm, warning of "furious gales". It was given by local meteorologist Ian Currie and was probably the only published accurate forecast in the country. Not that anyone did 'batten down the hatches' as a result!

Dream on :)

[STEED]

Dream on :)

Today they now say the weekend will be 75 and lots of thunder storms heading into the 80's next week peeking at 82. I bet they will downgrade that again tomorrow.

[Spiced_Rum]

Think the weather people should stick to facts, i.e. "this weekend it will be Saturday and Sunday".:smug: Now that is an accurate forecast.

They should stop the guessing and use a reliable method of forecasting, i.e. "there have been some gulls sighted inland so a storm is expected in the next day".:up:

[Herr-Berbunch]

We've been putting the lights on at home between 5.30-8.00 - normally we'd be in the garden at this time of year, and the wife nearly put the heating on the other day.

[Sailor Steve]

Where I'm at it's 10:20 and the tempurature is 84/29. The expected high today is 103/39. Humidity is 30%.

[Spiced_Rum]

Where I'm at it's 10:20 and the tempurature is 84/29. The expected high today is 103/39. Humidity is 30%.

Then I suggest that you get out of the kitchen, too much heat and steam. :)

Our heating is on...the wife is at work and I don't know how the clothes dryer works :)

[STEED]

I don't know how the clothes dryer works :)

Plug in, turn on, select heat, set timer, job done...

Now relax with a cold beer...bliss.

[Catfish]

Quite cold in Germany now, that 'heat wave' lasted for three days lol.

Now it is around 14 degrees Celsius, and rain.
But the sun tan is still good, it repels the latter.

If only...aint worth the hassle when she gets in what with mixing colours and whites then woollens with cotton :-?

[BossMark]

Been pissing it down a bit today and its a bit windy as I nearly got blown off me bike coming home from the toilet (work). So when is this heatwave going to start? I just hope its nice a week today as I am going to watch Yorkshire thrash Lancashire in the T20.

[Spiced_Rum]

If only...aint worth the hassle when she gets in what with mixing colours and whites then woollens with cotton :-?

Doing the washing is like Apartheid rules, keep the whites separate. I once made the mistake of letting a red item join the party and ended up with everything pink. Not a good look for tennis whites. :oops: Much easier to leave it to the washing fairy to sort out. The dryer can be risky as well with too much static creating mini lightning storms.

[STEED]

Hey..Rain. :rotfl2:

[Herr-Berbunch]

If I left the washing for the wife to do I'd have very little to wear, although why should she do it when she works full time (and some) and I'm only part time.

At least if I'm doing it it gets washed my way and not everything at 30C like her indoors would do.

[STEED]

Radio now reports the weekend dry and a max of 73 cooling down as the week to mid 50's with gusting winds. I think they throw darts at a weather board and there you go.

I found out the weather service used by the radio station I listen to, yesterday the radio gave out Wednesday on wards over 82! Checked their weather site on the net and today low 70's wow in less than 24 hours down 12! Best way to get the weather look out the window I say.

I can say the same about the UK more rain and even more bloody rain.

[Herr-Berbunch]

I don't know about that, Saturday was warm and sunny, and a tad overcast at times. Sunday (here, at least) was glorious sunshine and hot - I even lathered suncream on!!!

That's it, summer's over, bring on the thermals, hat, scarf and gloves.

Agreed, Sunday was great up north but I'm as stiff as a board after the gardening :-?

[Herr-Berbunch]

It was due to be hot and sunny here but a little cooler than the weekend. What we had instead was heavy, low cloud, and a little rain. The got the temps about right, eventually - after 4pm when the clouds finally disappeared.

[Jimbuna]

No clouds up north, just come off the decking and the beer is just as good indoors :cool:

[STEED]

Hot day but not as hot as yesterday, looks like cooling down to the low 70's for the next couple of days but still good.

[Sailor Steve]

A moderately warm 81 right now, looking at 95 later.

[STEED]

Just checked the Met Office for the weekend looks like we are back in the high 80's and into next week.

[BrucePartington]

I really envy you guys.
Over the weekend we had mid 90's F during day, while at 2 AM indoors the thermometer read 82º F.
I prefer cooler pastures.
For your reference, I live about 30 miles NW of Lisbon, in a nice and cool (as in cooler temperature) village overlooking the Atlantic.
From Lisbon to the south, we've registered temperatures in the high 90's F during day time.

For those of you contemplating spending some time in Algarve, the time is now, even though the weatherman says temperatures are expected to lower a wee bit.

@Jimbuna, incidentally, I've read in today's news that over here tourism in general is expected to increase, due to prices being somewhat reduced compared to previous years.

[Sailor Steve]

II live...in a nice and cool...village overlooking the Atlantic.
And you envy us? :o

I would love to live in a village overlooking an ocean.

I guess the old saying is true: The grass really is greener on the other side of the fence. :sunny:

[Jimbuna]

@Jimbuna, incidentally, I've read in today's news that over here tourism in general is expected to increase, due to prices being somewhat reduced compared to previous years.

Yeah that's what I thought but never mind we opted for Turkey this summer.

[BrucePartington]

And you envy us? :o

I would love to live in a village overlooking an ocean.

I guess the old saying is true: The grass really is greener on the other side of the fence. :sunny:
Well, I really like living near the ocean. In fact I see it the moment I step outside, and when the wind is right I can hear the monotone roar of the ocean crashing ashore at night, when everything is quiet. Rust also comes with it :shifty:

Now, just like Einstein said, everything is relative. This area is relatively cool compared to Lisbon (where I'm originally from), but still, I can't sleep in this sub-tropical weather. I hate to feel the sheets soaked in my own sweat. I find cooler climates more appealing.
As I type, temperature both in and outdoors is 81ºF (10h30 PM).

The weatherman says we are to get a 2 day truce, then temperatures will rise again towards the weekend.
Good for beach lovers though. Great weather for sleeping outside under the stars, or sitting on a rocky overhang fishing "calamares" with your buddies.
I prefer astronomy, and dreaming of a vacation on Risa. I hope there are no mosquitoes on Risa.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Steve, you're really in the wrong place for a sea view!

I grew up near the sea, lived near a couple later on, and now I'm still near it - about 5 mins to sea the ships moored and about 20 mins to the beach - the problem there is that when the weather is half decent all the tourists flood in from Yorkshire, the comfort people - they only comfort day (come for t'day - using their dialect).

Mark is more than welcome though.

[BossMark]

Do your mob make you drink luke warm weak lager from plastic cups at the cricket?
Went to Headingley last week the beer was cool but of course it was in plastic glasses and all the test matches I have been to have always served it in plastic glasses.

[TarJak]

Same here. And they serve some sort of watered down mid strength wazz now instead of real beer.

I miss the good ole days of taking a slab in an esky full of ice onto The Hill at the SCG when Lillee and Thommo were knocking poms heads off. Least that way you could choose what you drank. Before the advent of cans and stubbies you had to take longnecks.

Silly yobbos throwing the empty cans and even stubbies put a stop to that though.

Translation of slab: Carton of 24 375ml cans.
Translation of stubbies: 375ml Bottles
Translation of longnecks: 750ml Bottles

[Sailor Steve]

Steve, you're really in the wrong place for a sea view!
Oh yeah! I also grew up near the ocean - Pacific in my case. While I miss it, I probably really missing all the times I went to the beach as a teenager. The only time I ever really feel homesick is in mid-winter. As strange as it seems, that's when the wind blows off of the Great Salt Lake, and once I smell that salt air I'm suddenly back at King Harbor in Redondo Beach. It's amazing what the right smell can do to you.

That said, I love being able to look out my window and see 10,000-foot mountains just a few miles away. :sunny:

I don't use the sea (actually an estuary where I am) at all, if I had mountains I'd use them but I doubt I'd be so keen on using my bike - at least not for the journey up.

So I will ask my friends across the pond...

You prefer the rainy foggy dank crap you get in winter?



I lived in Washington state, and all it did all winter was rain and sleet, zero sun. Even when it didn't rain, it was cloudy, I understand why it is the suicide capital, I wanted to off myself!.

Spoiled bastard here, I got sandy beaches, warm water, and alot of fake tanned "Jersey Shore show Wannabes" (all of which come from New York) to giggle at as you kick sand on the dumbass tourists blanket.

It makes up for how bad they drive, I pray for September.:)


I'd rather deal with Hurricane Sandy, and 14 days without power, than the "BENNNIES"

[Jimbuna]

Hard to tell what us Brits prefer seeing as how we can get all four seasons in a week.

Personally speaking I prefer warm to hot...if I want to get burned I go abroad.

Move to NJ!

We get these storms in the winter time called Nor'easters, it is basically a winter hurricane that hugs the coast, 2 feet of snow, with nasty winds.

I am the New Jersey welcoming comitee.

We got fake Italian Americans from New York, and blizzards in the winter.

I can never critisize Londonesque weather ;):salute:

Bennies are bad ( for Brooklyn, Elizabeth, Newark, and New york) basically, some rich (N jersey, NYC, or long island) retard who only lives down here 2 and a half months a year, and are snooty beyond belief.

Too poor for the Hamptons, but just as entitled.

We have Sarfeners like that here in the UK...buy up all the cheap property then rent it out.

[Spiced_Rum]

Is a BENNY a tourist? The seaside needs visitors to spend their money in the local shops, restaurants, bars, amusements, etc. Expect a lot of small towns and folk would suffer if the money stayed away in the summer. What annoys me is when the locals cannot even get on the beach because there are too many tourists clogging up the roads. Love them or hate them, they do provide jobs and help the economy.

[STEED]

I just can not believe it, the Daily Express so far has been spot on! They said a four week heat wave and so far two weeks and next week looks like another scorcher! If the fourth week is also a scorcher we will all have to bow down and worship the Daily Express weather section!

[Herr-Berbunch]

Someone, eventually, had to get it right!

I'd rather be cold than hot, my favourite climate was Kosovo's winter - touching -29°C on occasion, much preferable to working in 50°C in a dark tent (or vehicle) in the middle east!

If you're cold it's easy to put another layer on, once you've stripped to next to knack-all there is nothing left bar water and air.

Yeah, they drive as if they are in the City (NYC), which to my own admission, requires a bit of agressiveness, NYC and LA can battle it out for traffic.

But the Jersey shore is a more laid back area, and they bring their horrid accents, cut you off while at highway speed, and drunk driving with them.
They are also very aggressive, and overly drunk, to the point shore towns have to hire extra police officers in the summer to deal with them.

Does good for town revenue with fines, but the citizens and taxpayers have to deal with drunken louts, and too much traffic, in addition of paying for the summer police force.

91 on my porch right now, going to 95. My cat is sitting outside for 4 hours now, and loves it, crazy cat!

He refuses to come in, and his fur is 90 percent black, so I know he is roasting.

This heat spell has hit alot of America too.

The mother...err bloody humidity is what bothers me. You sweat and become drenched, 80 plus degrees at night and I work outside...

FML. ;)

[Fubar2Niner]

And with it comes the fires. Epping Forest is on fire with over 100 firemen attending, I really feel for those chaps. The fire is about 10 - 15 minutes walk from me and the smoke is bad enough here. God bless and keep you safe :salute:

London Fire Brigade have dealt with over 460 grass fires so far this month! :o

I know on the back of an estate near where I used to live in my teens kids used to deliberately set fire to the dry grass, but discarded cigarettes are another main contributary factor. It was being discussed on Jeremy Vine's show today - one listener texted in that in hot and dry weather she makes sure to take a small bottle with some water in to ensure her cigarette is extinguished. Jezza just said "what do you do with it when it's not hot or dry?". :har:

Consider yourselves lucky, you never had to dig your truck out of 3 feet (roughly a meter) of snow, and trudge your way to work at 25 mph. over unplowed, icy, unsalted roads.

The hot can be cured by an air conditioner, try a blizzard.

Last real long heatwave was the summer of 76 and that was a scorcher. We get the odd few days and maybe a week before it all breaks down but this one is set for another week bringing it up to three weeks now. The radio today reported a estimate of 700 odd people killed by it so far.

Where the heck was all the rain and thunderstorms they promised? Just a light shower here and that was it!

We'll be getting that tonight I believe.

Actually, emptying your bladder in the garden is fine.

http://www.theecologist.org/green_green_living/gardening/605742/urine_the_ultimate_organic_fertiliser.html

Human urine is one of the fastest-acting, most excellent sources of nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and trace elements for plants, delivered in a form that’s perfect for assimilation. Not only that, we all have a constant, year-round supply of it - and it's free!

Fresh human urine is sterile and so free from bacteria. In fact it is so sterile that it can be drunk when fresh; it’s only when it is older than 24 hours that the urea turns into ammonia, which is what causes the 'wee' smell. At this stage it will be too strong for use on plants, but poured neat on to the compost heap it makes a fabulous compost accelerator/activator, with the extra benefit of adding more nutrients.

Dilute one part urine to 10-15 parts water for application on plants in the growth stage. Dilute in 30-50 parts water for use on pot plants, which are much more sensitive to fertilisers of any kind. Trees, shrubs and lawns are fine with undiluted urine, but for obvious reasons apply it underneath fruiting bushes, as opposed to directly on to foliage and fruit. Some fertilisers, such as seaweed, are specifically used as foliar feeds [applied direct to leaves], but urine is always best applied directly to a plant's root system.


Mrs Smith next door almost had a stroke when she last saw me in the garden but she was just not close enough.:O:
