The only time I've ever been stung by a wasp was last year when deciding to slap on some cologne, 27 years not a hornet, bee, wasp, or anything else other than the mossies had bit me until then. Plain old soap and water from now on again lol.
Currently just over 12'c at midnight here north of Buxton, looking forward to what tomorrow's CAPE and convergence brings.

Unbelievable. Potentially the best five days of the summer for the north-west?
Potentially mate, but we'll have to see how this summer pans out, could be a scorcher!
The sun will last longer than 5 days here, potentially the best 7-10 days of summer for the NW!

Ohhhhh yesssss.
And that is from the GFS wich often under-does temps by 2-3C, as well a a slight 'blurring' of the cooling effect of the sea there probably. When the wind's offshore I wouldn't be surprised to see a 25C at Liverpool like many western locations on Friday, and of course more inland central/southern locations tomorrow. I reckon some sheltered spots/valleys around the Scottish Highlands might break 25C in the next few days too.
Reached 21.6C here today with unbroken sunshine. Very nice and tomorrow looks warmer then Thursday/Friday warmer again here.
Looks to be some quite high mins for May forecast in parts of the south Thursday night in particular, 16 or 17C in places.
2012 so far.. (2011 in brackets)
Max temp: 20.8°C - 28th March (26.4°C - 3rd June)
Min temp: -7.6°C - 4th Feb (-7.4°C - 31st Jan)
Highest Gust: 50mph - 5th Jan (42mph - 23rd Oct, 12th Dec)
Thunder heard/lightning seen days: 2 - 14th April (3 rumbles to the SE), 21st April (distant-ish rumbles to south) (6 - only 2 significant and not distant)

Exactly, so if this goes according to plan, this could turn into an exceptional spell indeed for the West. The highlands generate their own heat effect, and can get very warm indeed.
Personally, I won't be sunbathing again this week. I am absolutely frazzled from today, I look like a lobster at the minute lol!
After the weekend, it looks like staying sunny, but a tad cooler.

Met Office temperature range forecast for London has 30c as a possibility on Thursday. Ive noticed each as each day is passing the temperatures are getting upgraded slightly. Saturday for example was originally predicted about 20c but is already at 22/23c.
I know the wind will strengthen a little on Friday and the Weekend but I dont think it will take the edge of the temperatures too much, especially here towards the West. On the whole there will be little difference. Much to be happy with right now!

Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if we hit 30 on Thursday in London, but we may come just short.
This spell shows that you don't need amazing conditions for hot weather, just high pressure and clear skies and you get temperatures approaching 30 by day and staying in the high teens at night. We haven't even got particularly warm uppers. If we had a southerly airflow we could expect +5C to these temperatures.
