The temperature in full sun on my patio in Ryde yesterday was 49C by my accurate mercury thermometer. It was 42C in the shade. Why hasn’t anyone else reported it? Am l recording it wrong? It was 35C today yet the weather folk say it’s a lot cooler…how? 
l am puzzled? How is the weather temperature recorded by the professionals?

The July record is 31.2c on the 25th in 2019, the record for any month is 32.5c on August 9th 1990. Currently the Davis on the roof mast is showing 30.1c but a few patches of Ac castellanus have developed and shut out the sun for the last few minutes so I suppose it depends on whether these disperse or become more prevalent as to whether the record is broken or not.

[johnholmes]

37.3 C here and still very slowly edging up, Td is 7 C

[johnholmes]

Gone back up again, now on 37.8 C

 

[The PIT]

The minimum humidity was 16% which is also a new low record, beating the previous record of 18% on 25th March 2017.

Currently 34.7C and 18% humidity. Wind 4mph variable.
