35.2c in Durham at 12.57...

That's nearly 3 degrees higher than the max at the same location yesterday, and still feasibly a couple of hours warming to go.

Historic day. And somewhat scary day as well for what is to come.

41c well within reach as well.

Yes, a dark milestone.

40c@ Heathrow 3 miles from myself @ wow

[weatherobsuk]

Buxton has surpassed the record set yesterday and now at 34.6'c + still rising, one last push of this heat over the next few hours before potential storm initiation begins.

.....and what's the cloud situation!?!

Clear as a bell. Not even any tiny bits of high level cloud. The bit of sky i can see from my office anyway.

40.2! It's gone!

Amazing.

What too is astonishing is the wide area of stations within a degree or so of 40c. with time for further rises.

Certainly a day to remember.

36.2 near me now.

Imagine the Emirates flight landing into Heathrow this lunch.

 

Welcome to London Heathrow Airport where the local time is 1250, the outside air temperature 40°c.

 

Dubai, hold my beer.

40.2oC in fact, so 41oC is possible yet.

Previous record 32.9c so record could be 4 or 5c higher once all is done.

Still totally clear upstream as well. No obvious sign of frontal incursion though it is edging closer.

London still has probably 2hrs of warming as well.

Devon and Cornwall about half of the highest temperatures currently.

It was 28c here in Exeter but think it’s dropped slightly as some light/moderate rain is passing, feels very humid 

[mb018538]

The cloud is still miles away from all of the areas currently at 38-40c, so expect this to probably go up to 41c somewhere...

36.4C now - it got to a high of 36.5C yesterday.

The official high at Durham Uni Observatory yesterday was 32.0 degC, making it the 2nd warmest on record. Today will obliterate that.

Edit:  36.5C.  Highest ever here, IIRC.

[reef]

We reached a high of 36.3C here but the sea breeze is starting to scupper things now. Dropped down to 'only' 35.7C.

Yeah the AWS high was 32.4 so pretty close to each other.

Pretty sure Durham has had a 32.5 in 1990, and a 32 (maybe in 2020) as well as the 32.9 high, though I'm probably wrong.

[No Balls Like Snow Balls]

Gotta get over 41c easily somewhere today surely.

Well, this was a way out.....
