Teesside, Newcastle, Loftus, Albermarle all around 34-35C so would be amazed if Durham hasn't beaten its record comfortably
Durham AWS now sitting at 36.0c.
We'll see how the official obvs compare to that tomorrow,
But as Durham Weather said already, the record has been obliterated. It's been smashed out of sight.

No, you’re right.

Cheers, I was wrong about the 32 in 2020, it was 30.8 on July 31st.

Just now, Durham Weather said:
The official high at Durham Uni Observatory yesterday was 32.0 degC, making it the 2nd warmest on record. Today will obliterate that.
Yeah the AWS high was 32.4 so pretty close to each other.
Pretty sure Durham has had a 32.5 in 1990, and a 32 (maybe in 2020) as well as the 32.9 high, though I'm probably wrong.

35.2c in Durham at 12.57...
That's nearly 3 degrees higher than the max at the same location yesterday, and still feasibly a couple of hours warming to go.

It was the same here a station 130m or so higher up than here was showing at 25c at 5am whilst Lower down the valley it was showing at 21c in Sheffield looks like it occurred in several locations in South/West/North Yorkshire judging by the posts on the North Yorks weather page which was showing 25c at an elevation of 500m which is incredible.
Happened all over the North East too. I saw a reading of 29c at 8am 367m up, whereas low ground stations were 22 or 23c.

Wow it's actually 31c at Lanehead on top of the Pennines.

Loftus in Cleveland leading....nearly 35C there now....
I know Loftus is an official station but I'm not convinced by their readings. It's right on the coast.

Tees-side Airport (sorry, old habits!)
i think Darlo might be a better bet for a NE record but dont think there are any MetO approved stations there? NCL is pulling its air ever so slightly from the SE, Teeside is due south.
Nearest ones would be Durham University and Copley (though it's on high ground).
I do think that readings from Airports would count though?
Teesside Airport is very close to Darlington.

deffo ones to watch - NCL and MME both 4C higher than this time yesterday...
Which one is MME?

1 minute ago, recklessabandon said:
what got very little press yesterday is that Newcastle ended up nearly 4C higher than modelled, largely due to the land track from the south - ironically despite the larger heat pool to the south today, there is some coastal modification showing so yes i think the record will go again, but not be yesterdays margins. somewhere in the southern parts of the north east like darlington or durham could really be in for a roasting though as the heat is funnelled from the vale of york...
Yesterday the Met Office was forecasting 40c today for Leeming, that's only about 25-30 miles due south of Darlington.

31.2c in Durham.
According to the Durham County road weather cams the temperature at 10.40am at Lanehead, 1,500ft asl was 30.1c, and at Forest In Teesdale, 1200ft asl it was 30.4c

So, Emley Moor last night didn't drop below 23.9C, therefore it's a record minimum night. However, the Met Office are discounting it because it reached a lower temperature after 9am the previous day. Absolutely ridiculous.
Yeah they've always recorded 0900-0900 and would need to stick to that for continuity. It's a massive shame but it is what it is.
Also, if they made an exception so they could insert the 25.9 as a new record minimum, they would be accused of fiddling figures to suit a climate change agenda.

Nick there is no way that we aint gona reach 40+ today!its a matter of when!!clear blue skies widely across england still with only far south west under cloud!
And the North East. I'm under cloud (Newton Aycliffe), slight hazy sun from time to time with a moderate breeze. Still around 28-29c in the local area though. What I'd give for a few hours of clear blue sky, time is running out!

Maybe higher elevation keeps temps up overnight as cooler air tends to sink into low lying areas, plus, the uppers are hot so you're nearer to them. I reckon in about two hours the low lying areas will have overtaken.
This is happening across the North East in incredible style. Pennines are baking already, inland valleys cooler by some way.
At 8am most low elevation stations were recording 22 or 23c, but higher elevation stations much warmer. I looked at the road weather stations and Forest in Teesdale at 367m was at 29.1c at 8am. Lanehead at 450m 27.6c at the same time.
Never seen anything like it.

The official Durham Uni Observatory Met site topped out at 32.8 deg, which is just shy of it’s all time record of 33.6 degC which has stood since 16th July 1876. My Gilesgate Durham station reached a phenomenal 33.7 degC this afternoon. That is however a garden site, so is more sheltered than the official station. Still amazing.
Oooosh, 32.8 at Durham is almost unprecendented - it really struggles to ever top 30c in the good old NE!
I used to have a personal weather station in Newton Aycliffe - sadly it died a couple of years ago and the best temperature I recorded was 30.8 a few years ago - and during the 2006 heatwave I got 30.3c. So this is a new level altogether.
I've been looking at some of the Durham County weather/traffic cams today - best temperature I saw was Bradbury (near Sedgefield) at 33.7c. They use Vaisala instruments so you can count on those figures really. Even Consett hit 31.2 and Tow Law 30.2!
