16 degrees? BBQ? WTF is that shit? 16 degrees here today and as soon as the sun goes behind a cloud it's cold. That can't be real. There is no warm weather forecast anywhere in the UK for the forseeable future. |

This is satire, right? I hope so.
When is mid-teens and some sunshine is a "Mediterranean feel"? That is nice weather, warm enough to go outside and grill food, I agree. But a few degrees above normal isn't a heatwave. Was it chilly last week, and the change makes it feel warm?

Believe it or not it will be warmer in southern England than much of the Mediterranean on tuesday 15th - I'm going to central Italy and it's going to be colder than here on that day.   |

What the hell makes Umeå's temperature plateau in this way? It's been doing this every day this heatwave. Is it the effect of cold sea breeze picking up at noon? Tavelsjö didn't have this problem and reached 27.2'C  |

Possibly is a seabreeze or just the wind direction which happens to be blowing off the water. Seabreeze makes sense as the water is very cold compared to the land atm which is prime conditions for seabreeze development. You have to give us proper hourly obs of all variables in order to come to a proper conclusion.

Seems Trondheim- Værnes high today was 26.5C, almost two degrees warmer than the high where I am now, in Greece!
May 14th is the earliest day in the year that has seen 30C recorded in Norway, in Kongsberg back in 2000.

Yeah. Every day this heatwave has had southerly winds during the day, and no wind at all during night.
Btw, the strangest thing happened today. GF and I were walking home on a field right next to the woods at 21.30 and sudddenly, both at the same time stopped dead and said "wow". A hot wind just swept over us, kind of like when you open the door to a sauna and the hot air sweeps over you, or in the winter when you walk too close to automatic doors. Then for the next 100m we kept hitting cold air, then warm air, then cold air, then warm air every 5 seconds.
Really strange. The difference in temperature must've been at least 3'C, possibly as high as 5'C. I've experienced it once before, but that was in winter. We were walking and it was below freezing then suddenly we just walked into mild air with that distinct thawing smell.

Lows mean nothing in summer at high latitudes. Low of 0.6'C yesterday but by 06.00 we'd already hit 17'C.

Quite the opposite at my latitude...the high temperatures only last one hour before sharply plummeting; on the other hand, lows stretch on for at least five hours before they even begin to increase—especially on clear nights (when the morning is even colder). |

Yeah, that's fairly common in winter even down here. |

In winter there is no daytime warming, and in the summer there's a long plateau of warmth followed by a very short blip of cold temperatures. But I don't need to tell you that. That's how you grew up. |

Yeah let’s compare a run of the mill summer thunderstorm to the tornadic supercell you experienced whilst churning butter in Oklahoma back in 1995....
Every time NYC experiences a little weather event everyone in flyover country has to add their two cents in, as if their increased atmospheric instability somehow makes them bigger and tougher than those city slickers. The snark and the anger I see from them is so weird.

It's very likely that 2018 will see the record warmest May. Lots of stations are already tangenting 2013 which was the warmest May in lots of places, and it's only the first half of May, and the forecast looks continually warm.

May 14th is the earliest day in the year that has seen 30C recorded in Norway, in Kongsberg back in 2000. We only just beat you down here in the UK actually, 12th May in London in 1945. London's also seen 29C on the 16th April way back in 1949, so it's only a matter of time until it happens in April one year. Latest 30C in the year was 27th September at somewhere I've never heard of called Stratfield Turgis in the far south in 1895, we got 29.9C on 1st October 2011 but that was almost perfect synoptics and perfect timing, I think that will stay our October record for a very long time. We had 26.6C even in Bingley that day, I think that's about 3C warmer than any other October temperature we've ever seen! www.torro.org.uk/hightempsyear.php |

The Feb record is 19.8c set on 13th Feb 1998. We've now seen 2 occasions of 29c+ in mid April. |

Fun for me, at least.
