The number of obs stations in France compared to here in the UK🫣 and these are just those noted to have broken records…
In France during this heatwave 1100 monthly temperature records beaten 400 all time records beaten Many more to come tomorrow. There must be s heck of a lot of dodgy thermometers about.

A very serious situation unfolding.. Red weather warning issued 40C now possible this week .. this would be 4.4C above the current UK June temperature record... a truly astounding event The all time UK record set just 4yrs ago in July is currently 40.3C

Both the ARPEGE & UKV models continue to suggest 40-41°C being reached on Wednesday & Thursday. The all time June temperature record is likely to be beaten.. there’s a chance the all time temperature record for the UK will be beaten too, in June. I’m lost for words.

Maybe we won’t dodge a weather bullet as with June 2019 this time round…
The latest UKV has 38/39C for Wednesday with a much larger area >35C. This could be developing into a notable and severe heatwave.

Coldest night since setting up my weather station in August 2022, -7.0°c beating -6.6°c from 19 Jan last year. Appears it was down to below -10°c locally east of Winchester towards New Alresford and the South Downs etc. Likely coldest night down south for a number of years.🥶

Holy shit! Largest since the Japan quake and tsunami in 2011…
US Tsunami Warning Center just issued an update saying the earthquake near Russia was an 8.7 not an 8.0 and that "TSUNAMI WAVES REACHING MORE THAN 3 METERS ABOVE THE TIDE LEVEL ARE POSSIBLE ALONG SOME COASTS OF NORTHWESTERN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS... AND RUSSIA." But USGS is still saying it was an 8.0 so I don't know if the 8.7 is a mistake.
