Now 29.0C, was 26.1C an hour ago and 24.8C two hours ago. 30C is a real possibility now (all from the official Met station at Church Fenton).

29.3c and still rising. Think we'll be hard pressed to hit 30c but its going to be close. Great afternoon after the poor start!

 

22.5c in my living room - almost a 7c difference! The refrigeration capacity of my house never fails to amaze me...

31.9oC here at present and the breeze whilst nice is also very warm so not doing much to help.

 

Methinks it will be a close and sticky night tonight for sleeping.

34.1C has been reached according to the Met Office on Facebook:

 

'Today was the hottest day for over seven years - with a maximum temperature of 34.1 °C recorded at Heathrow.

We haven't seen temperatures this hot in the UK since 19 July 2006, when 36.5 °C was recorded in Wisley, Surrey.'

Look what happens when I open the window at home....

Sensor is too close to the window and am now thinking this is why I keep getting low readings - its right next to my fridge house.

Should start to level out soon (house won't go much above 25c at the best of times).

Well what another great summer day it has been here in Mere.

 

Plenty of hot sunshine with only the odd bit of Altocumulus Floccus and Altocumulus Castellanus cloud around.

 

Localy though it hasn't been our hottest day as the max was 28.4C which probably seems cool compared to what you lot in the southeast have had.

 

We had two of our hottest days for 6 years here in July, both recording 30C.

Manchester airport reporting 30c and light rain , surely must be the humidity thats causing the rain readings, cos it's clear skies here

Scorcher of a day here in Reading with a max of 32.3c beating the high of 31.5c we had in July . Impressive for just one day of heat and also I think this may be the first occasion on where I've experienced the magic 90F in the UK, some nice alto-cumulus to boot too.

 

Still 30.5c now think its going to be an uncomfortable night in the attic

Temperature peaked at 4:25PM at 32.9c. 

 

So I was wrong, it was the hottest day of the year. Just imagine if the warm air stayed and allowed the Earth to warm, bet we would see a 36C in a week's time. 

 

Beautiful Summer's day, very Spain like.
