You may have seen the piece on
www.buxtonweather.co.uk about a ""The school summer holidays in Britain are
going to be hot, with a high of 32C by the end of August".
This is unlikely ----------------BUT more and more evidence is building
about our warming climate.
The chance of high temperatures being reached in the UK has increased
significantly over recent summers. Between the 1950s and the 1980s the highest
temperature averaged 30C. In 1974 the temperature never exceeded 27C. Since 1994
at least one location in the UK has reached 30C each year and 32C has been
exceeded each year since 2011. In each of the past five summers, including the
present one, there has been a temperature of 34C or more somewhere in the United
Kingdom.

-UK, Met Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK ©Met
Office.:
----Saturday
27 Jul - Monday 5 Aug
Low confidence in the forecast for the weekend, with uncertainty in regard to
the track and development of an area of low pressure southwest of the UK. This
may bring a spell of wet and windy weather northeastwards across the UK during
Saturday and Sunday. However, it should stay largely dry in the east and
southeast. It will remain very warm in the southeast, with some localised heavy
rain or thunderstorms possible. Into next week and we are likely to see a
northwest/southeast split in the weather across the UK, with further showers or
longer spells of rain affecting northwestern parts, with a better chance of
drier and warmer weather in the south and east. Temperatures will generally be
above the average for the time of year.
Tuesday 6 Aug - Tuesday 20 Aug
As we move further into August, the final month of the meteorological summer,
confidence is low in the forecast with no one single weather pattern looking to
dominate. It is most likely that low pressure to the north and northwest of the
UK will give further showers or longer spells of rain in the northwest, with the
better chance of drier weather in the southeast. Temperatures will likely be
above average, especially in western and southern areas. However, confidence
falls as we head into late August.----------------------

well as my own weather station in Harpur Hill in Buxton, at
