I still say W.U will be wrong. We'll see. Get that sun shining early on and maybe you come close?

Sorry for repeating but this still looks like the warmest day till June so enjoy it. Actually models showing just 1 day similar next week but overall we wont get this warm again for couple weeks..

Euro Data for Danbury, CT. I'm in love with the area I boxed out. Temps are good too. Looks like little clouds, so will be Sunny and dry with 60s.

SouthEast ridge tries to rebuild again and you can see we might warm up from Memorial day onwards. Still too far.

I was thinking of avoiding it. Was considering doing a long bike ride today, 87°F sounds hotter than I like, 80°F sounds tolerable. It's not humid at least, but it's May. There are plenty other friendlier temperature days. And not as used to doing stuff in the heat as I would be in July. Thinking of going, and if the heat bothers me, I can shorten the ride.

Lots like it could be hot from the sky, not sure if it's possible to judge accurately.

Told you, the sun.. Sun early & you had a better chance. Looking good to pass 80 but there's no 80s all the way down to Georgia right now so it's not like theres "extra" heat nearby to keep you pushing warmer. Low 80s looking good.

Went for a 3 mile run, my time is running out to keep doing that. lol. Between muddy trails in the jungle, bugs, and humidity it wasn't pleasurable.

Awesome! Man I wish that was here. I see why now.. 850mb freezing line digging down and swinging around. I bet you that air mass is why we stay cool here Wed-Sat.

A selection of charts to see out the second half of May in the UK.

19th: We see low pressure and cool air over the UK with some unsettled conditions.



26th: High pressure is closer, but remains to the west, dragging the same tongue of cold northerlies over the UK ad infinitum.



31st: The UK remains lodged between HP out west and LP developing to the east, keeping a chilly northerly flow channeled directly over the UK.
