Cleared nicely now, and I suspect that was the front. Very weak affair.
This must be a pretty bulky cell now.

A few from my Sony A7 IV. Just a few sharp showers it seems, but aircraft keen on weather avoiding.

Some very high based CBs in action over London.
Wind just picking up.
Getting bulkier. Wind massively picked up. Gale like sounds.

Sky flooding with AcCas here @Robbie Garrett. NMM 5KM gives us around 1,000 CAPE. Two signs for me that give optimism. We have until 10-11 I reckon
About 2 miles west of me is VIRGA, can see the strobes bouncing light of it now as one aircraft just flew through it. I just know we are fighting against a lot, unless we are talking nocturnal cooling after Sunset and the unsettled nature of the front(s)? A bit like the heat storms in Africa at night?

That front is taking the absolute Swearing AGAIN! Look at earlier, now it gets to London. Nada. Eurghhhh
-
I actually hope we have relentless rain. Literally like we have never seen before, or the early 2000s.

Excellent, will dampen down any sceptics of Heathrow!
A good read on it's location etc here.
Heatwave: Why is Heathrow so hot?
WWW.BBC.CO.UKAs the UK's highest ever temperature is recorded at Heathrow airport, why does it get so hot?44 minutes ago, SunnyPlease said:The blowtorch wind is what is most extraordinary about this heat. I have never felt that in this country. The wind is usually cooling.
Today has really been a heat lovers and extremist paradiseI remember Abu Dhabi in August was like that. 52C and hot wind.

40.1°C - Kew Gardens on Monday 18th at 3pm.
Well I am 24 hours out lol
Kew Gardens in London has seen a temperature of 40.1C.
That's absolutely hilarious.

Imagine the Emirates flight landing into Heathrow this lunch.
Welcome to London Heathrow Airport where the local time is 1250, the outside air temperature 40°c.
Dubai, hold my beer.

Loving the UKMO going forwards especially further south . So many summers we have the weather completely break just in time for the kids to break up. Hopefully we can keep our streak going for a while yet . The rain will return big time within time and history tells us that , so I am not worried yet with the lack of rain. It even rained last night, Bonus 🫠
I think we are overdue a very wet period. Unless the jetstream is truly knackered.

I think we will loose the Brighton 1990 record tonight.
London City at 28 °c and wind calm. Low of 26°c forecast.

34°c in my room. Thanks to faulty cladding + eco friendly climate change milarky, heavy insulation.
Balcony is nice....

This makes a change, the amount of sleepless nights on already deprived sleepless nights I've had waiting for TSRA in a post-PLUME event is unreal. A bonus is anything when it's not forecast.

Heathrow also equalled its 37.9c record in July 2019, and narrowly missed it with 37.8c in July 2020.
I think Faversham still stands, though it was beaten by Cambridge in July 2019.
I did read an article on Faversham somewhere or have I got that wrong?
Just now, Nick L said:The way official temperature data is recorded is so poor. It's patchy, out of date and not easily accessible. In this day and age it should not be difficult to build a website with real time data like personal weather stations do on Wunderground.
In places like the LTCC Swanwick they get the live weather data from the London Airports, so it's all very possible. Technology is there, it's just not public domain.

Just now, B87 said:
Yes, both records were set on 10 August 2003 (but won't be shown because Faversham beat both with 38.5c).
I stand corrected. They've done away with Faversham now haven't they? I did hear that a lot of people say Kew should have got the record.

Why Shoreham airport cooler than rest of surrounding areas it’s only 26 Celsius was forecast 31 and the sun has come back out
Disappointing
Sea breeze? SW wind at 6 knots over a huge amount of sea. Dew point is also 14*C so humidity is currently 48%

Are you sure?

Here we go 37.5C at 3pm
That's the London record broken by a fair bit. Heathrow with the record if you consider it London. (31 July 2020). 36.4 °C the Kew Gardens Record

36.3 at Heathrow now leading the way
I hope Cambridge gets it, but Heathrow if it does smash the record will be because of the concrete/tarmac.
Cambridge is the Royal Botanic Gardens and not the airport? Both are at 36°c if so?
