Getting flashbacks to Jul 22 when I couldn’t believe forecasts of 40C - we then saw the historic 40.3C. Can’t believe I’m seeing it again ⬇️ Regardless of actual max, this heatwave will be uncomfortable for most, unfortunately deadly for some. I’ll have latest on BBC Breakfast

While it'll feel warm in sunshine this week, the real key for warmer weather is when the jet stream heads northward. And look what happens at the end of this week...

Missed all the #aurora action last night? Another chance to see it tonight anywhere in the UK but it may not be as bright. Last night we had an extreme 'G5' storm, tonight indications are more like a strong 'G3'. But don't let that put you off having a look 🤩🌌

Did the storms / torrential rain wake you up? ⚡️💦 There were around 30,000 lightning strikes as intense storms moved north. Manston in Kent had all of June's average rainfall just last night and there was quite a bit of flash flooding. Latest #ukweather on BBC Breakfast

Hurricane #Melissa update: it has strengthened further and making a turn now toward Jamaica. Landfall expected later today but rain has already been relentless and winds will strengthen today. Rarely gets any worse than this.

After hitting the Windward Islands yesterday, #HurricaneBeryl strengthened even more. ❗️Now a category 5, the highest on the scale and earliest on record❗️ Tracking toward Jamaica, it'll make landfall on Wed/Thurs with a glancing blow in Haiti and Dominican Republic.
