Forecast for the Southeast.
HIGH 23C |
LOW 13C |
Monday 26th June 2017. Sunny spells and feeling quite pleasant in gentle winds.
It should be quite a pleasant day with variable cloud and sunny intervals. The wind will be quite gentle from the west- south west and with an afternoon temperature of 23C not too bad to get out and about or dry the washing. Overnight more humid air could well start working its way in from the south and that sets us up for a threat of some heavy and thundery rain later on Tuesday and the rest of the week looks unsettled as well.
A good idea for a present this New Year is a pack of Weather eye magazines. Special New Year offering of a pack of issues worth £22 for just £5 and £3 post and packing. A great gift and a good read. Includes the latest issue.
Listen out for me on BBC Radio Surrey and Sussex just after 0945 hrs 25th June on the 'Dig It' show giving a look back on June and a forecast for July.
Have you tried Weather eye magazine. Give it a go. I will send you the latest issue post free and at a reduced price of £2.50- that's got to be a bargain.
Ian's eye on the Weather. A daily chat. 21st June 2017
It is now a heatwave with 5 consecutive days at +5C above mean max. The definition of a heatwave is having 5 consecutive days when the temperature rises to 5C above the average temperature for the time of year. So at this time of year the max is about 20C or 21C so a temperature of 26C or more. In fact a hot day is often defined as above 80F or 26.7C for England and Wales. It could reach 34C on Wednesday 21st and this could be the wamest June day since 1976. Certainly now it is the longest sequence of very hot June days in the SE since 1976. I recorded my hottest ever June day since starting in 1980 with a mid afternoon value of 33.0C. it was similar in the Chipstead Valley at 33.1C. The temperatures were higher locally in 1976 up to 34C to 35C.
I remember in 1976 probably the most remarkable of all heatwaves starting in June when for 14 consecutive days the temperature rose somewhere in England and Wales above 32C from the 23rd June and culminated in 35.6C at Mayflower Park,Southampton on the 28th. Hundreds and hundreds of people suffered heat stroke at the Wimbledon tennis Championship but the ice cool Bjorn Borg won it and for the ladies Chris Evert.
