Phew what a scorcher!

Thinking of snow!

[Costa Del Fal]

Very hot. At Taunton right now. Car is reading 31-33c!!!!!

[Sainsbo]

Here in Swindon it is currently 31.4C according to the local weather station, making it the hottest day here since July 2006!

[textmum]

Local weather station here also recording 31.4C

[Wilxy]

31°C, hottest since 2006

[SunnySouthCoast]

Exeter airport hottest 'official' station so far with 31.0C being reported at 14:20

[Somerset Squall]

Unofficial I know but 32.3C here apparently in my back garden. The station is in deep shade but no Stevenson screen etc. Most local station is reading 31.3C.

[Man With Beard]

27.5 the max here today

[ARTDEMOLE]

29.6c. Outside.......27.3 Inside.....Fan going on  soon....

[audiotech]

Got 2 thermometers outside in garden. One very sheltered surrounded by cool concrete walls on 3 sides (never gets any sunlight in that alley) reading 30.1 C at the maximum today. Another thermometer in a very thick leafy tree which also never gets sunlight underneath it but does get a good airflow breeze around it reading 30.8 C at the maximum today.

Rather warm........... cheep garden thermometer reading 33c! Just got back from 5 weeks in Sumatra/Malaysia, and this heat is certainly continuing the trend. Beautiful!!

[Frosty_wsm]

What an awesome day that was at the yeovilton airshow, but no way would I attend an airshow like that again if I knew it was going to be that hot, I mean that heat was just unbearable to say the least, loads of people were dropping like flies with heat stroke!

[Andy Bown]

How my local team managed to pay a friendly in that heat I do not know, but it was hard enough watching! Had it been in 3 weeks time the league match would have to be played anyway!

One thing though, the heat was very dry and I didn't feel sticky or uncomfortable while out.

Looking forward to a dusk time sat out with a glass of wine while watching stars appear and moths and bats flitting around the garden!

By the way, a thunderstorm is edging into our region near Gloucester.

Ok, just a hunch but you heard it here first.

BBC South Today tweeted earlier that Southampton yesterday hit 31.9C, Met Office have not yet confirmed this though.

 

Here yesterday it peaked at 29.0C & last night was very warm with a minimum of just 17.3C. Temperature at the moment is 25.0C.

[ARTDEMOLE]

To hot and sticky to be outside. .Sat   in the shade whilst eating Lamb Tagine with  spices...

[AWD]

From Ian;

"Interestingly, radar suggests a few small-scale showers running across E from Wales over the Severn. Maybe some localised convergence there."

[Man With Beard]

29.7 atm, will we get to 30?

[ARTDEMOLE]

31.2c. at 15:36.....Going Down Now...29C....INESOMER4 Wunderground...

[Bristawl Si]

From Ian;"Interestingly, radar suggests a few small-scale showers running across E from Wales over the Severn. Maybe some localised convergence there."

A few cloudy spells here from about 2 until 4 and at one point it looked like we could get a shower but in last hour the cloud has dispersed.

Strangely we have had mostly a northerly wind here today & despite a sea breeze on the beach it has had no effect just a little inland where I live. Infact just walking a hundred yards or so from the beach & the sea breeze was not felt at all. Because of this it has turned out to be the warmest day of the year here so far with a max of 30.7C! Still hot now too with 30.0C

Hit 30.5C here too. Like a wall of warmth, definitely hotter than earlier in the week when local 'official' stations measured 29.5C, a little way from the sea obviously makes a big difference. Edited July 14, 2013 by rjbw
