I think there is likely to be occasional hot spells persisting, but few more long runs of what we think of as hot summery days this season. The idea that the best of summer weather is still to come and February will be that month is in my view incorrect. The second and third weeks of February are set to cool. Even March may see some short-lived freak hot days before autumn temperatures take over the whole country by the 20th. But the best of summer was always going to be the second half of December, yet I think few appreciated that at the time.
