Today has become the hottest June day in British recorded history with a high of 37.3°C

The previous 50-year record was broken Wednesday with a high of 36.1°C, then again yesterday with 36.7°C, and now broken again today.

[Corcoran Smith @irlcorcoran]

Omg they’ve done it again.

Who could have predicted this

[Wings Over Scotland @WingsScotland]

Just had the most *apocalyptic* thunderstorm in Bath (where we do get good ones). Only rained for 10 minutes, but so hard that it did this in a part of town right up the hill that’s never flooded in known history.

Companies replacing junior roles with AI, only to complain about the lack of senior talent in 4-5 years, is going to be the most predictable crisis in hiring history.

This is the highest CAPE I've ever seen modelled for the UK, and potentially the highest we'll ever see.

The risk of severe thunderstorms begins tomorrow and could continue right through to the end of the week. Monday currently looks like the most likely day for widespread thunderstorm development, as clear triggers are present. There is much more uncertainty from Tuesday through Friday. While models continue to show extreme instability, they currently lack obvious triggers, although that could change as we get closer.

Even taking a conservative approach, CAPE values of 2,000–5,000 J/kg appear possible across much of the UK, particularly across southern and central areas. These are exceptionally high values for the UK and would support severe thunderstorms and potentially supercells, especially where strong wind shear is present.

Very frequent lightning, large hail, damaging winds, tornadoes, and flash flooding could all be possible at various points between Monday and Friday if storms develop.

Tomorrow may see a more widespread outbreak of thunderstorms, particularly along the M4 corridor, including areas around Bristol, Gloucester, Swindon, and extending into North Wales.

Temperatures are expected to reach the mid to high 30s°C, while dew points could climb into the low to mid 20s°C. This combination is creating an extremely unstable airmass and is the reason such extraordinary CAPE values are being forecast.

I do not say this lightly: if sufficient triggers develop to release this instability, we could be looking at a historic week of severe weather by UK standards.

Morrisons is now selling ham in packets. Three slices. 3. You now buy ham in packs fewer than the number of people in an average family. Three slices of fucking ham. Everything is fine.
