BBC has 38C for Leeds. WO has 38C. The iPhone weather app (which uses weather.com) shows 37C. They’re all singing from the same hymn sheet now. The highest temperature on the BBC right now is 40C for Kew in SW London. GFS consistently showing 40-41C widely across England. The kind of heat being shown for England is almost unbelievable so I don’t blame people dismissing it, but it’s like that heatwave in Canada last year - totally unthinkable, until it wasn’t. I’ll say that I don’t think 43C will be reached in London but 40-41C is very possible. "mark my words, the PNW heatwave will never happen...." And then when it did happen, "doesn't mean jack shit, its fake heat....." ^^From he whose name shall not be mentioned last yeat  ^^ Until the figures came in from BC I refused to countenance that sorta heat happening. I still very much doubt the UK forecasts....but stranger things have happened....as in the Pee En Double You heatwave last year. From a purely meterorological and statistics stance, I hope some records are broken....on the other hand, that sorta heat is dangerous/deadly for the very young/very old and unacclimatised. |

More evidence that WeatherOnline is terrible for forecasting, and should never be taken seriously: It didn't quite get to 15'C. The forecast was pretty accurate for 3 days though.  An mean positive error of +8.3°F (4.6°C) for highs and +2.3°F (1.3°C) for lows...and a forecast 59/14°F day?! Astoundingly poor performance. What was SMHI's forecast for that period? WeatherOnline is toilet paper, mate. It's horribly inaccurate, pretty fucking sad that some in here still swallow WO's forecast hook-line-sinker because "herd mentality". |
