Like in Summer, very muggy and raining. I think in summer 2003 I had some rain well above 25c.

I'm talking UK btw.

Warmest rain I've seen in Scotland was 25C and yes it was horrible.

Coldest rain I've seen was last Xmas day when it rained at -5C.

Mid 20's for me via a thunderstorm, very rare we touch 30c in Darlington, though we come very close in late Septmber 2011.

From memory, about 29C at the start of the thunderstorm on 19th June 2005. And only slightly cooler at the start of those on 10th July 1995 and 23 May 1992. With all three it cooled to the 18-22C range within a couple of hours, and it's worth mentioning one night in August 2004 when it rained/thundered for several hours at around 24-25C without the temperature dropping.

For non-thunderstorm events, there was intermittent light rain on 5th August 2003 at about 23C from a strange area of high grey cloud that had encroached, unforecast, the night before; and also 25th June 2011 when it had built up to about 26C during the day, while this area of cloud was approaching from the SE(!) whjich at 5-6pm gave over an hour of steady frontal-type rain, as you would expect from a weak warm front in a November westerly.. While the temperature remained in the 20s.

Another good question is what is the warmest anyone has ever seen snow at in the UK, i cant really give definitive answers on these as i have never took a thermometer outside to check on these events so if anyone does keep records of these things it would be interesting to know, im only talking definate instances here not going on predicted or estimated temps and not sleet, hail or graupel, only proper flakes of snow.

Not very relatable to the UK, but in Cancun, Mexico in July 2011 whilst on holiday there was rain at around 30C, well not so much rain as a hot shower on full blast, it gave torrential a whole different definition flooding the area within minutes... Amazing Storm :)

Before the storm hit...

37C, but that was in sticky Queensland. I never again wish to encounter 25C+ temperatures at night.

I've had rain here when it was about 31C, in fact earlier this year I had rain at about 28C so I would imagine that other places in the SE will have had rain at higher temperatures seeing as 30C+ here isn't rare

About 35C in Baltimore in June 2010. That was an incredible thunderstorm (probably wasn't by US standards), I might go dig out the pictures from somewhere. There were tornados around just a few miles to the north of where we were staying.

The warmest I've seen snow at was 7C in May 2010 incidentally.

A strange time about 2004, it started raining at 26C, bizarrely the temperature rise to 28C while it was raining and until the rain cleared, and that makes you sweat - it was one of the most strange phenomena ive seen, because usually in this country the temperature falls when it rains in the summer.

Ive experienced a shower at 30C, but it soon cooled down. The rain itself felt quite strange though, not as warm as you would expect but not particularly cold either.

Re. rain, I can't give an exact figure but it certainly rained at above 30C on a couple of my holidays in France, notably around the 20th July 2006. In the UK it rained at around 26-27C in Norwich sometime in August 2009 (can't remember the exact date) when scattered thundery showers broke out over East Anglia at the end of a heatwave. I don't think there's such a thing as a realistically possible temperature on the Earth's surface that is too warm for rain.

Re. snow, I've seen snow showers in April before where the temperature started at around 7 or 8C, though it dropped considerably once the showers got underway.

Around 37c last June in Fuerteventura, we had the briefest of showers and it actually felt nice and refreshing given the extreme heat.

I'd usually expect the temperature to stay pretty much the same during rain in the summer... in August 2003 when it was hot and sunny in the day thunderstorms developed as it got dark and the temperature failed to drop much...

I remember a thunderstorm at 29C on June 27 2011
