Today's Weather

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Agreed. BBC basically do not have a clue. They have me down for a 24c max today, haha get a grip, there's no way it's only going to go up 2c in the 12 hours of sunlight we have left.

Almost makes me laugh. Firstly, it's not the BBC, it's the Met Office, and secondly, to say they don't have a clue because you don't agree with their forecasted temperatures, whether they turn out to be right or wrong, is....well, as I say, it almost makes me laugh.

Up to 22.4C here now, which is a perfect day for spending in the paddling pool with the kids, watching iplayer on my ipod and drinking large quantities of gin, which makes the prospect of going to my mum's even more ghastly. Who knows what entertainment she'll offer the kids today....perhaps some brightly coloured buttons, or some interesting shells she found on Aldeburgh beach back in 1976?

It's already 19.9C here after a low of 12.3C. I think we could beat yesterday's 26.2C easily. I think much warmer temperatures than predicted could be possible because of how dry the ground is here (only 1mm of rain this month).

[magicpatch]

Sneaked up to 19.1c now, didn't reach that until midday yesterday, so we are seemingly around 60-70mins ahead of the temps yesterday.

[paul tall]

Already 23.4º here, and this is in the North East too!

Could see a 27 or 28 if it stays sunny, I'm pinching myself to remind me it is only May.

[Mark Bayley]

Temp: 27.8c

Dewpoint: 15.0c

Humidity: 46%

Weather: Wall to wall sunhine, very small amounts of fair weather cloud

[Ben_Cambs]

Already beaten yesterdays 24.3C with the temperature currently at 25.2C and clear blue sky.

[Backtrack]

24.0c and feeling hot!

[snow_mad_09]

Minimum overnight was an uncomfortable 15c , currently 24c. Expecting some storms today, cloud bubbling up in the distance.

[sunny scunny]

25c here now which was yesterdays max.Could reach 27c or maybe 28c later.

[magicpatch]

I'm recording 20.3c now the nearest metoffice site was recording 20.7c at 11am, although that is on a dissused airfield so it might be a little warmer there than here. Looking at everyone else around here either its a lot cooler here or my temperature sensor is under doing things!

[Harry]

Already around the mid-20s here (currently 24C) and expected to climb to 27C possibly 28C...not a single cloud in the sky, even a contrail. Temps tonight in the SE not expected to fall below 17/18C.

Some signs of CAPE for tomorrow across southern areas, which I think could be more prevelent should the front slow down some what. BBC suggesting 30C possible tomorrow across S England tomorrow.

Its certainly warmer than 20C here magic patch - but then you can get local variances and such like. Either way, late morning were in the low 20s, expect that to jump quite a bit by 3-4pm.

[Thundery wintry showers]

Yesterday was a relatively cool day in Norwich with a high of 21C, though it still felt quite hot in the sun. In contrast, today is up to 25C already!

[paul tall]

The breeze has picked up here and more clouds are floating about, occasionally wandering in front of the sun, and thus slowing the temperature increase right down - 24.6º is very respectable however I now think we'll be lucky to see much more than 26 degrees today (still fantastic for up here at this time of year)

[BornFromTheVoid]

21.6C here in Tipperary. RH 71%, crystal clear skies and a light south easterly breeze.

[magicpatch]

Up to 22.1c now which is in-line with the local metoffice station (22.2c) it was roughly this temp around 1.25pm yesterday afternoon,

[paul tall]

25.5º here now.

England is upside down - day 2.

[RichardR]

Up to 23.8C here now. Possibly could hit 29C I reckon.

[The PIT]

Hot with long sunny spells. max temp so far 26.2c

Rain zippo

wind sw f2

[Milhouse]

Just reached 26.1c which is pretty good going for here.

[BlueHedgehog074]

An absolute spiffing day with constant sunshine and true blue skies, with the temperature creeping to 24*C at 12 o'clock. Feels not quite as sticky today, so probably means the humidity and/or moisture levels are lower. Certainly feels very Summery and would make me believe that I was at the edge of the coast or at the beach walking around in the warm sunshine. A very gentle South-South-Westerly breeze, too.

Edit: Temperature now at 25.5*C.

[DeepSnow]

Currently clear and 26.4C, might reach 27C?

[BlueHedgehog074]

Certainly looks feasible given the amount daylight to go and with the sunny weather being very widespread (except for possibly North-Eastern areas with a chance of some thundery showers).

[Milhouse]

Increasing cloud has pegged the temperature back to 25.4c after reaching a high of 26.8c, the highest here since 5th August 2007.
