[dr weather]

Warm night and morning. Radar showing 'sferics to the W and SW already, so could be an interesting day. Temp is already around 30 degrees with barometric pressure down to 1011.

[Bristawl Si]

30c, hot breeze.

[webtone]

Surprisingly low minimum last night of 17.5c, but wow, it’s taken off this morning…just reached 33.2c at 10.15! Hot breeze takes your breath away!

Just driven from Westbury to Warminster and the only cloud is convection/towers in the distance, satellite suggests it’s nearly as far away as Exeter. That’s the best part of 100 miles away it’s visible from!

[Mapantz]

30°C by 10:30am. That's 2 hours ahead of my current record.

[mike5900]

35.4c.

[matt111]

Just about a tropical night here last night with a low of 20.1°C. Already reached 31.0°C here about an hour ago but it's dropped back a bit now to 28.8°C

[TwisterGirl81]

Hope some of that rain makes it to Exeter and doesn't just fragment up before reaching, really need the rain here!

Strong breeze picked up now. Making it very pleasant to sunbathe in.

[lettice]

Its 31c here currently

[Andy Bown]

33.4c and off to get my son. Such a dry heat still that it doesn’t feel uncomfortable.

Be quite amusing if the humidity rises into tomorrow and it’s about 25c which will be far more uncomfortable yet kids stay in school, it will make something of a mockery of this! 

[Mapantz]

Temp falling away fast now. Pretty much clouded over. Several hours earlier than expected.

[lettice]

No cloud here, hazy sky.
Temp is still rising here, my weather station and other carefully located thermometers are showing 32.5c
Bit higher than I expected based on the forecasts.

Still sunny at Sandbanks, can’t see much cloud over the Purbecks, but some high cloud building

Sunshine came to an abrupt end.

Looking at your wind direction , you had quite a change from the easterly wind to a SW midday, then back to easterly again.
The forecasts have most of the south coast moving later this afternoon to SW direction, bringing lower temps.
We are still Easterly as we have mostly been through today, with a blip S or SE, around midday.

[ThundersnowDays]

lovely breeze picking up as the front approaches, can see the clouds coming, still we got to 33.C here so another very hot day!

[Frosty hollows]

Hot and windy to start the day- thank goodness for low humidity!Local record gone. RAF Benson have recorded 37.2c.

[Super_Uwe]

Sun back out in Kingsbridge, we had several near(ish) bolts of lightning about 2 hours ago. 

Feels incredibly oppressive though, humidity must have shot up?! Certainly doesn't feel remotely fresher!

Looking at the temperatures further east and it is just unbelievable to see some of the figures posted before midday. I totally get they were predicted for today, but even so...

[*Stormforce~beka*]

I've just hit 35c! Now to get past yesterday top which was 35.3 ...

[lettice]

33.2c here
Record for my weather station recordings I think.

edit: just now at 2:15 34c

There seem to be two bands of precipitation to the SW - it will be interesting to see whether the first band blows through or starts building again during peak heating. The forecasts for cloud/rain here in N Somerset are all over the place so I'm just nowcasting with the satellite.

[webtone]

Still clear blue skies at the moment.New local record. Maxed out at 35.8c. 0.6c above yesterdays record! Dew point up to 20c (was about 14c earlier) so beginning to feel the humidity now.

 

 

[Mapantz]

Lots of thunder here, and forks of lightning.
