August Hot Spell Discussion

What a difference a few miles make.

19.8c here, moderate-heavy rain, dark grey clouds, hill fog. Doesn't feel warm, got my jumper on.

[Slowpoke]

Bang on 23.0C with 80% relative humidity. Sun is starting to shine, it's going to be a scorcher.

Still cloudy here but it's on its way out I reckon?

Thank goodness i dont live where you do. Must be so depressing.

24.4c here and milky blue skies.

[SP1986]

Feeling quite chilly today, especially in the wind and with thick cloud.. the air is much less humid now, so the coolness is very obvious.

Currently: 20.4C

It's grim in the Valleys, but I still love them.

[Milhouse]

Wattisham and Mildenhall recording 29c at midday. Still another 4 hours of rises to go.

[Bottesford]

Been watching blue skies to my south - prob only 10-15 miles away whilst we got spots of rain!

Gladly the blue is inching its way towards us now and sun is getting more & more frequent. 24.8c and continuing to rise. All in all - so far not bad - so long as cloud keeps off a bit.

Netweather radar/sat pic shows this perfectly!

[Milhouse]

I'm also watching a big area of blue to the south of us currently over Lincolnshire. Hopefully it can edge a bit further north. But, having said that, the cloud that is over us is showing signs of thinning and breaking. Currently 25c.

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

so, so close to the big 30c here, 29c but feels like 30 apparantly. I think it will be broken by 1500 hrs.

[Sainsbo]

Only 24.6C here. Can't say that that is a bad thing, I hate the heat. Good luck to all the people who don't like the heat in London

[The PIT]

21.2C no heatwave here but very humid.

Being stuck outdoors in that heat would be intolerable, people that live in hot climates would be in the shade

But not the plucky old Brits!

Aye, mad dogs and Englishmen...

[Terminal Moraine]

18c with intermittent light rain and a f3-4 S/SW breeze here. I count myself lucky today.

I'm in Chelmsford and I reckon it now must be just over 30C, very hot indeed.

[nicklon1]

Aye, mad dogs and Englishmen...

We're sun noobs

30 degrees here, not too bad down in the cabin giving it a lick of paint and watching the cricket

Might brave the sun and cut the lawn in a minute

[A Winter's Tale]

20C and sunny/showery here in Glasgow. 30C further south!!! What does 30C feel like?! lol

[nicklon1]

A lot like 25'c, but with a lot more bbq smells

If you like insomnia, being covered in sweat and big bugs in your house then I highly recommend it.

30.5 a short while ago.

[Slowpoke]

Finally the cloud is breaking, temperature is shooting up now

[toggerob]

Got to feel sorry for those in the south/east tonight having to endure the 21'c - 25'c temps overnight. Luckily this far north we only have the cloud cover but with a more fresher feel at night. 25'c in high humidity is a killer.

[Alex]

30.7 in Writtle at 14:00. Can it make 32c?
