UK Heatwave to Break Temperature Records!
Posted by Karen in Environment, tags: Environment, heatwave, weatherIt’s time to slap on the sun lotion as soon as you can if your living or visiting our little island this week as we prepare for a heatwave to hit the country.
It’s been forecasted that this week could break all the records over the years with temperatures hitting 30°C (86°F) in the middle of the week, which would make it the hottest spell for years!
But despite all this the forecasters have also said that this will not be a solid wall of sunshine as it will be broken up by the odd thundery downpours, it will also feel humid and the pollen counts will rise, which is just what us hay fever sufferers need!
The Bookmakers Ladbrokes is offering odds of 8/1 that Wales beats its top temperature of 35.2C, and 17/2 that Scotland tops 32.9C or Northern Ireland exceeds 30.8C.
Ladbrokes have also set 13/2 that the top temperature midweek will hit 32°C (91.4°F).
I know that our back garden here in North Wales has hit 29.4°C (84.9°F) which has felt a little cooler by a nice coastal breeze, but it’s still hot and it’s lovely, but have we got this hot spell for a short time, will it disappear next week and return to rain, rain and more rain. We will se but I’m personally hoping for a good run of warm weather, yes the odd shower would be nice to cool everything down at night, but the warm spell would perfect for BBQs and garden lounging

With all the beautiful coastline in the UK, I’ve always thought what a shame it is that the weather isn’t better during the summer months. Good luck keeping cool.

Thanks for stopping by, I currently have a fan blowing cool air at me, I don’t think we are used to a nice bit of heat here in the UK

Oh Karen! A tempature of [ 30°C (86°F) ] is quite high for UK at anytime of the year yet it’s not the UK only. It seems we’re facing a very hot summer worldwide as here in Egypt we are facing [ 45°C (113°F) ] which obviously makes me wonder about the Global Warming effect!

It is rather worrying, I couldn’t imagine 45°C (113°F), it doesn’t even hit that in our conservatory, but global warming may have something to do with it..
