Hi there

New to the forum - congratulations on a great site

Have come to the air conditioned office today to escape the heat

Looks like the M11 Corridor is going to be the best bet today 32C at London City and Stansted at 10.50am and 31C at Cambridge at 10.20am

At least 2-3C up on Wednesdays values, still warming at 1-2C per hour!

Hopefully the cold front will hold off until later this afternoon. If it does, the record is a formality - I predict 39C somewhere in this area

[du_snow]

Welcome to the forum Stu...Cambridge now at 32c.

Hope you enjoy your time here, and for the time being, drink plenty of water!!!

[Supercell]

Heya Stu welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy your time on here

Yes the heat in London is really building up and the 100F barrier may well be beaten :lol: Its hard to predict just how hot it will get but if the temp continues to increase like that who knows what will be reached :lol: :lol:

Mostly clear and sunny, however I'm keeping an eye on some cumulus developed to my N after what happened earlier :!: I missed the action by very little really.

A gentle variable breeze and 30c.

[rbeat]

After quite alot of rain this morning, some very heavy, its now brightning up. Hopefully the heat will build again for some action later on

[Stu_London]

The record has been broken

37.4C (99.3F) recorded at Heathrow Airport

Source BBCi reported 14.27pm

I still think it will go up to 39C somewhere today

[highcliffe2]

A maximum of 33.2c today, currently 25.8c after a minimum of 16.6c last night

[Lorraine]

[Andy Bown]

Still mostly clear and sunny. 30c currently as hot as it's got.

Still cumulus towers visible in the distance-this time probably from the storms near the M4.

[Casper]

:twisted: .....A storm passed around Swindon at about 15.00 this afternoon,it headed up towards Glouster as usual!! That's 2 near misses today, is there any hope for later tonight?

[Supercell]
