A heatwave set to hit Britain this week could beat the all-time temperature record for July, forecasters say. Warm sunshine is predicted for much of England and Wales from today, with the mercury hitting 84F (29C) in south eastern areas. Further north, where rain is due to clear this morning, it could reach 79F (26C). By Wednesday the warmest areas of southern Britain could reach 95F (35C) - and it could get even hotter still, raising fears of health problems for the elderly. Even in the far north of England, temperatures could still hit the 80Fs (high 20Cs). The hot weather is being brought north from a plume of Saharan air which is already hitting parts of southern Europe.

https://www.sott.net/article/417470-Rare-heat-burst-causes-temperature-in-Lincolnshire-UK-to-soar-by-TEN-degrees-in-less-than-an-hour

The Met Office says the event is highly unusual

Parts of Lincolnshire experienced a ten degree temperature rise in under one hour last night due to a rare atmospheric phenomenon.

The Met Office has said that the so-called 'heat burst' was caused by a thunderstorm collapsing and bringing hot air down to ground level.

This caused the temperature recorded by the Met Office at Donna Nook to increase a staggering 10 degrees in just 38 minutes, jumping from 22C at 8.22pm to 32C just before 9pm.

A spokesperson for the Met Office told Lincolnshire Live: "While heat bursts are not unknown globally, to get that temperature rise so suddenly is much more common in countries with more turbulent weather.

"It doesn't happen very often at all full stop, honestly.

"This sort of weather behaviour is usually seen in regions such as mid-west United States prior to a hurricane or extremely stormy weather."

And for contrast- Fort Regent in Jersey logged its higher ever monthly sunshine in July - 374 hours. Would have been a good tanning month.
