Hong Kong has just experienced its wettest August day on record. Roughly the same amount of rain fell in 17 hours that London gets on average in six months. Flash floods and landslides were reported, and 12000 lightning strikes accompanied the rainstorm.

Phoenix Sky Harbor hit 118°F at 3:37 PM this afternoon, which sets a new record hottest temperature for August. Phoenix records date back to 1895. Temperatures are still bouncing between 116-118°F at this time. #azwx

Could watch this for hours! Unreal lightning show tonight near Kingston, MN at 2:15am. #mnwx

Beyond this working week, it may be time to start paying attention to next weekend. The Met Office model has 22°C hPa 850 reinforcing on Saturday 16th and then 23°C on Sunday 17th. With dried out soils this 'could' lead to the hottest temperatures of the year next weekend. 📈🌡️

The 06z GFS suggests 8 consecutive days of 30°C being reached somewhere in the UK. From today, up to 18th August. The run sits bang in the middle of the ensemble pack, so a highly plausible run. A prolonged very warm/hot period. Could reach the mid 30s tomorrow and Wednesday.

Lightning over Blackwood in the South Wales Valleys tonight

Last night delivered the strongest example I've seen in the UK of rain from high based clouds evaporating in drier air below. Radar can't account for that & estimates wide swathes of 5-10 mm, locally over 20 mm for the past 24 hours. Gauges report just 1-2 mm, locally 3-4.

Today in the circled area is where we are expecting temperatures in excess of 30C. Parts of Lincolnshire, south and east Yorkshire and the east Midlands could reach 33C or possibly even 34C. BBC Breakfast xxx
