I can't believe how much cooler conditions are today. It'c currently 21.3°C, which means it is almost a full 10°C cooler than at the same time yesterday. Very rare you see such a stark contrast between days.

Not surprisingly it's feeling much fresher this morning, currently 18.8°C following an overnight low of exactly 15.0°C
Looks like N England and Scotland enjoyed some truly spectacular storms last night!
Bish
It's still 31c here, which means we've stayed above the 30c mark for five and a half hours and counting. First time that's happened for a very long time.
Friday night/Saturday morning suddenly looks very promising for much of England from a storms perspective.......
Bish
Brilliant, awful, brilliant, awful, brilliant, awful..........make yer minds up, chaps!
I still haven't given up hope of seeing a storm, but I must admit it doesn't look so likely now. Fingers crossed for the next few days however.

Just got back from the blissfully cool Touchwood shopping centre in Solihull to find the temperature has *finally* reached 30°C here, yaaaaaaaay!
Bish
We were racing towards breaking the magical 30°C mark when - horror of horrors - it abruptly clouded over about thirty minutes ago, which has already caused a drop back down to 28.7°C
Bish
Plenty of showery activity to our south and west, but not of the sparky variety so far.
Temp is now 27.5°C, a full 5°C warmer than at this point yesterday.

That Estofex forecast is much more promising for this region than I had expected for today. Not getting my hopes up, but nice to see nonetheless.
Currently 24.1°C
Bish
29.3°C ended up being my max temp, considerably higher than the forecast max of 26°C
It's still 27.1°C at half past seven in the evening, a very warm (and probably uncomfortable) night awaits.
Bish
Well done Willinglossop and Laurie61, our first confirmed 30°C readings of the summer!
29.1°C here, but we must be very close to the peak. We recorded our highest temp here at around 16:30 yesterday.
Bish
Weatherobs has a few stations reporting temps of 28°C and even the occasional 29°C to the NW of Birmingham at the moment.
Currently 27.6°C here, but not feeling too humid so far.
Bish
lol you must be a mind reader, Blizzy - I was about to post almost exactly the same sort of comment
My local forecast predicted a high of 20°C for here today, whereas in reality we're about to break 23°C
Bish
Yes, by late tomorrow afternoon the heat will be over the entire region and pretty much all of England and Wales. Which gives us one genuinely scorching day on Wednesday, a brief respite on Thursday, and then a return to very warm/hot conditions on Friday into early Saturday. Plus lots of thundery potential
