[Costa Del Fal]

Anywhere official beaten 33.5c?

[Coast]

Seems to have maxed now:

 

Brize Norton 30.0 °C

Charlwood 32.9 °C

Gravesend  33.0 °C

Heathrow  31.6 °C

Herstmonceux 30.3 °C

 

Hottest day of the year so far then? Not bad as it didn't have a run up to it like the previous ones last month.

Yep - the 16.46 London Bridge to Barnehurst train!

[Jezzer]

BBC weather just tweeted 33.7 Celsius reached at Heathrow Airport. Hottest August day since 2003

[lottiekent]

Yep deffo got to 30c Must be the warmest day in years for these parts.

I hit 30.1c about an hour ago and now hovering at 29.8c...the warmest I recorded was on the 22nd July at 30.2c.

Yes, I see Southend has now recorded 33C (or 32.5C+) This day has been a slow burner, but very impressive nonetheless.

Oops didnt realise last monday was in contention. I know it was hot, but I wasnt in touch with any data. Damn good storm that night wasnt it?

[Bluebreezer54]

Currently 33c here at 5.25pm, despite a fairly strong breeze and high cloud turning the sunshine hazier for a while. Some remarkably high temperatures along the South Coast given the strong onshore breezes down there.

[stainesbloke]

Nearly 34C here so I think the previous hot day may have been beaten at Heathrow. Strong wind but its a hot breeze, haven't felt that here for a while lol.

Thats what I thought. See my post on previous page.

31.9oC here and very sultry, even the breeze is hot.

Certainly feels a lot warmer away from the coast and the above temperature confirms it!!

Still climbing here Robin.....Heathrow now officially reported 33.7c

[Kent Snow]

32C in Canterbury, hot, hot, hot!

[Jax]

Had to walk into town to the bank and do a small shopping trip...

 

 

...i'm "dripping" now after that.

[ZONE 51]

So hot, and the hottest day of the year in my area! Lots of Altocumulus floccus and cas cloud - sign of thunderstorms.

[Captain Shortwave]

weatheronline says 34C at Heathrow, so hottest day of the year.

[Steve C]

I saw some reports saying that this July was the driest ever recorded (after about 20 days of the month)

 

Does this mean that this August will be the warmest month ever recorded in the UK?

[Rob Deacon]

Any chance of some thunder storms tonight? 

 Seems to have sudernly gone cloudy here in Peacehaven on the south coast..

[Alixzandra]

Currently 33c here at 5.25pm, despite a fairly strong breeze and high cloud turning the sunshine hazier for a while. Some remarkably high temperatures along the South Coast given the strong onshore breezes down there.

It maxed out at 30.2c in Brighton at 5pm..slowly going down, standing at 28.9c now. Incredible, as you say, the breeze is very strong and whipping the trees around quite fiercely.

[Jax]

have let in a tame fly having the doors and windows open... *grrrrrr*

[RUSH]

getting cloudey here 

[stainesbloke]

More flying ants...sign of a storm?

[Dangerous]

Capel le Ferne on top of a 470 foot cliff reaches 29.2c, Folkestone reaches between 30.1 near the coast to at least 31c in the north of the town. Langdon bay radar reaches at least 28c and Brighton apparently reaches 30c. All with a wind gusting at about 20mph straight off the sea. Its sensational. You inland folk probably wont appreciate what im talking about.

[Bluebreezer54]

Met Office have apparently just confirmed 34.1c recorded at Heathrow.
