Temperature Record Monitor Thread

35.1c here in Hereford. I think areas such as Herefordshire / Worcestershire / Gloucestershire could see temperatures peak at around 37/38c around 5pm.

Just west of Northampton, in the countryside. New record for this station ..seems to be stuck at 35 for last hour

Do the hottest recordings generally happen between 3pm and 5pm?

I read that about 3pm is considered the hottest point of the day   I think someone will record 38 but not over the english record of 38.7c today, it will tomorrow got sure by a few degrees 

[WillinGlossop]

Lots of 35/36c and odd 37c popping up on wunderground website in Yorkshire could be the place to break the record today…

[ribster]

Has actually dropped  .3 to 34.7 now.

One or two amateur weather stations reporting 40C and even 41C to the SE of Cambridge. Probably the area to watch. Would be interesting to see the record broken again at the Botanical Gardens!

The Buxton record has been broken just now, 32.1'c and still climbing. The previous highest recorded temp before today was 31.9'c in July 2019.

Santon Downham now at 36.4C, very touch and go for the record.

[Mizzle]

My station has dropped from 35.9C to 32.3C in the past hour. I guess due to cloud cover but this doesn't look too heavy to me.

[Snow Dayz]

35.4C in West Wickham Bromley ATM peaked at 36.0c but dropped back a bit

[Nick L]

36.5C at Heathrow.

It might have got to around 36c here, but the local weather stations only rose by 0.5c in the last hour so looks like the forecast high of 36c was pretty spot on. 

[James1979]

Slowing down a lot now and at 36.3 (humidity not calibrated), quite a few clouds bubbled up in the last 30 mins

Looks like a desert which it certainly isn t.

Bring back the old maps which look pleasant and non fear...

It's due to colour blindness, old maps don't work so well according to the met office.

I see a new Welsh record.

Also 36.5c puts us into the top 10 hottest days ever.

...what?  Offended by maps, this country really has lost it.

East Anglia looks to me to be the region to watch, clearest skies for longest and a big overland fetch to the wind.

Hawarden a possible exception due to the foehn effect, could yet see todays highest temp.

[SunnyPlease]

Still possible the record will go today. Sometimes you can achieve the max around 4pm. 
 

Looks more likely it will top out at about 38c somewhere though, just short. Record will undoubtedly go tomorrow, and we should hit 40c 

[Atmogenic]

Not a single bit of cloud here in kingsnorth so possibly in the mid 30s now here

[Nick L]

36.8C at Heathrow at 2:20pm.

[philglossop]

It’s got to be the hottest day on record here now. 33c at Mount Batten but down in Plymstock it’s 34.1c at my parents. 

[Nick L]

37.1C at Heathrow at 2:30pm. We just might do it.

[Ross90]

What's the peak in Scotland? It looks like today will be hotter than tomorrow in the west...
