Actually thinking about it, with sunset being around 9.15pm for the next few days you may not have to stay up that late Sunshine. If conditions are right ( and they have to be just right )they are usually visible from about 20-30 minutes after sunset, and become clearer as the night sky darkens. You need to look in the general direction of west/northwest. Looking at current conditions I think the skies are a little too hazy this evening, but I will be looking out for them anyway.

Weatherwise it looks as though Raf Northolt was the warmest place in the country today with an official 26.5c ( 80f ) recorded there, so this summer spell is off to a flying start.

Thanks as always folks, and have a great weekend. Moley

Nice to hear some good news Thanks Moley ....

Cheers Brian. The conditions during the week might just favour the Aussies, and I think this series will be a lot closer than many thought !!

The official highest temperature I can find for the UK so far today is 27.5c (81.5f ) at Heathrow, though a very reliable weather station in Watford is reporting 28c ( 82f ), same as the temperature being shown on the top right corner of this website. I asked the other day, but does anyone ( site admin ? ) know where this reading is taken from because it seems very accurate.

Enjoy the weekend folks. Moley

It always used to be on the Air Ministry roof.

We don't need any rain yet!

So you'll just have to get the broom out and sweep it up

No rain in sight for a good while yet down in our neck of the woods Kremm. Can't we just enjoy this glorious spell of weather without wishing it away after just 3 days

Heathrow at 29.5c was just pipped into 2nd place as the warmest spot in the UK by Hurn airport ( Bournemouth ) which recorded 29.7c on Sunday. Monday should see similar temperatures with a slight cooling taking place midweek. Next weekend could well see the mercury rising again as the Azores High seems reluctant to leave us.

I'm happy with that. Moley

What a wonderfully warm and sunny weekend that was. The prospects for the rest of this month look quite favourable with High Pressure never too far away.

We will see a slight cooling during the middle of the week but I've seen some suggestions that temperatures may start soaring again next weekend as high as 32-34c ( 90-94f ). Thats a long way off so I have my doubts about that.

For the next few days though it's going to remain warm and mostly dry, some eastern regions seeing a bit more in the way of cloud so west is best.
