Apparently this mini-heatwave that's on its way will hit the south-east and the Midlands on Sunday and Monday, and it'll be "gone" by Tuesday, following a series of thunderstorms. Interestingly, it's only Sunday that will have the actual sunny weather - Monday will apparently have a lot of cloud in the build-up to storms arriving on Monday night and into Tuesday.

I notice the Daily Express today have a dramatic front-page headline which says that a "90F killer heatwave" is on its way. Of course they've quoted the absolute maximum temperature they could find (temperatures are likely to hit 30C/86F in a lot of places, and may reach 31-32C/88-90F in a few places) and stated it in the lesser-used Fahrenheit (as opposed to Centigrade) to make it seem higher.

I doubt very much that this brief heatwave will be a killer of any sort. What was a killer heatwave was back in the summer of 2003 (which did actually result in thousands of heat-related deaths across Europe), when average daytime temperatures in the UK were above 30C for over a week, and we got the hottest day ever when it reached 38.5C in Kent.

I do remember that. My family had been asked to clean the carpet of a church one day, and time seemed to move so slowly it was unbelievable. Boredom set in after about a minute..I ended up going for a swim in the local outdoor pool. Surprised there was any water left in there, actually.

We haven't had much of a heatwave down south. We don't want one. We don't want heat. Certainly I don't - heat irritates me a lot. It's been sunny, but not boiling...and the Daily Express? My goodness me. How low can one go before the only important news is what Cheryl Cole is doing?

The weather is good here. Not lovely, as I can't stand the sun for more than a few minutes. But good..

Was blazing hot today... apparently it's not gonna get any cooler tonight, 19C at lowest tonight I read on the BBC Weather website

This weather has gotten me ready for Corsica 2k11

Not ever so hot today. It's currently 16C here as of 10:35AM.

There were some pretty fierce thunderstorms, hailstorms and torrential downpours over the south-east of England today (particularly London and mid/east/south-Essex).

And there was one particularly loud clap of thunder which shocked Sabine Lisicki just as she was about to serve during the first set of her Wimbledon quarter-final against Marion Bartoli.

Apparently, quite a few others on Centre Court were stunned too - even though the roof was closed...

Didn't stop Lisicki from winning, though.

Yep, down here we had a few big rolls of thunder and a bit of lightning....nothing too serious though. Roasting sun, then thunderstorms...this "mother nature" should see her psychiatrist.

Windy and cold here in the beautiful (ish) Northamptonshire.

Was sunny but really cold today here in Ashford, which is the worst weather ever as the sun entices you to go outside, and when you do, you freeze to death.

Cold and dull here today,

No other way to sum up today's weather - bloody freezing cold all day.

Exactly the same here.

Was snowing this morning briefly... thankfully it stopped near noon we're only just getting rid of all the snow from a couple weeks ago, the last thing we need is another bloody snow shower...

Some unusually warm weather coming next week. The BBC forecast says 15C in my area on Thursday!

Where are you then?

Buckinghamshire. ITV Anglia has forecast 17C now!

Cor blimey!

Yesterday was an unusual day. It was surprisingly warm and sunny from morning to early afternoon (I even sat outside in a t-shirt ), then later it became grey, cold and miserable.

Today it was just grey and dull all day.

Some more crazy warm weather this week. London could reach 20C on Thursday!
Considering the average for March is 9C that is more than DOUBLE what it should be.

The forecast for me in Buckinghamshire is no less than 15C over the next 5 days.
