Was looking at the Met Office WOW page, show's this. A couple of clearly erroneous readings of 20c near C London, as many of these are not official sites, but the general picture is 22-25c across G London, warmer further east.
Your graphic has Heathrow’s temperature at 23c today.
According to NOAA, at 9am EDT (2pm BST) it was 21c at Heathrow, it peaked an hour earlier at 22c (21.8) according to my other chart.
Based on that and other sources (MetO, Netweather), I’d say it’s been a bit cooler across the region than your graphic suggests.

I’m bordering zones 4/5 with a golf course next to me, not much of a ‘heat island’ effect here as opposed to Zones 1-2.

That's fair, where are you getting that 20.1c reading from? 25c is the latest reading from London City airport. 24c at St James's Park. Would be quite something to see a 5c difference between City airport and N London.

24-25c currently in London.
London is over 600sq miles in size
It’s 20.1 in my part of N London

Really pleasant here in N London, dry, 20.1c, 71% R/H, breezy with a hazy sun. It looks like some thin high cloud is keeping the temperature down.
-
27c at 1530 with RH at 58%
The sky is a hazy (milky-blue) colour otherwise it would no doubt be hotter

Over my area, been raining all day non stop and got no higher than 15c
Sounds grim, I’m glad I dodged it!
It was nailed on for the ‘South’ including London according to various forecasts last night, an awful level of accuracy -
Where is the rain that was forecast for my neck of the woods today?

What's this 'heat' is everyone referring to today? its just warm outside, 24c is not hot.
I'm genuinely bemused by some of the comments here which I could understand if the temperatures were in the high 20's or 30s.-

What a grim day, 17c and downpour after downpour.
Im currently experiencing the 5th downpour of the day and it’s by far the heaviest. There seems to be very little wind and so this looks well set for some time yet.
Can’t believe it’s early August

Terrible weather here in North London, there has been a long, narrow sliver of rain (dangler-esque) moving from wsw to ene direction over the home counties to East Englia for the last 12 hours, and its brought almost non-stop rain and grey gloom. Just 8 miles south in Kennington the cricket is on, just shows how localised our weather can be.

The temp has fallen from 28.1 at 1300 to 23.1 now at 1500 after that short-lived thundery shower, for me it feels so much nicer outside, less sultry

I'm just under 2miles North from you and hardly anything, a brief squall, dark, windy but nothing else. I can see clear skies approaching now
-
First rumbles overhead here at 1350, its gone very dark, temp is 27.8c, come on - lets be having it
-
Nice steady rise in temperature this morning:
1000: 13.5 Cloudy
1100: 15.2 still cloudy but thinning
1200: 17.2 Cloud breaking with plenty of blue sky
There has been a constant breeze here for several weeks so the moment the sun disappears behind a cloud it becomes very noticeable.
Now we have some heat & humidity on the way, if it lasts for any length of time then, for me at least, I'll be missing that breeze...
-
There was light rain here overnight, was on and off for a couple hours, it wasn't forecast anywhere
-
I’m guessing there’s been maybe 30mm of rain in the current 24hr period here in N London?
The clay based soil here is absolutely saturated-

It was pretty snow free here in coastal Ayrshire. ..plenty of snow to the north south and east of here. Over a foot of level snow in Lanarkshire and most of Glasgow with drifts of several feet !
Maybe they should 'Twin' Manchester with Irvine

There was here 9 miles west of Manchester
Nice, but its just a dusting compared to what I'm referencing. I still would have taken it though!

Nor here in S Cheshire. What was noticeable was the wind chill and I remember standing with the dog on the local green on 1st March and never feeling so cold in my life as I did that day. The dog wanted to head home p.d.q. and the children in the local schools were kept indoors all day because it was too cold to go out, and that wasn't in my view a case of wrapping the kids up in cotton wool and not wanting to get the little dears too cold!
Yes, I remember the wind chill vividly and I'll take that over rain anyday. I just felt so gutted after seeing what my friends & family were experiencing in Wales and London, I guess that Manchester is just terrible for proper snow.

Thats 2 degrees warmer than NOAAs Heathrows readings for the same time (1200BST), thats strange. Anyway, at 1430 it was 20.1c where I'm located and its now dropped to 19.6c.
