The Met Office seem to have deleted the tweet about 37.5C at Kew!

Been poor with details today, leaving us guessing.

I stand corrected.  They've done away with Faversham now haven't they? I did hear that a lot of people say Kew should have got the record.

Heathrow also equalled its 37.9c record in July 2019, and narrowly missed it with 37.8c in July 2020.

I think Faversham still stands, though it was beaten by Cambridge in July 2019.

The way official temperature data is recorded is so poor. It's patchy, out of date and not easily accessible. In this day and age it should not be difficult to build a website with real time data like personal weather stations do on Wunderground.

Agreed - and I think other countries do it better than us too (despite us being a "weather loving" country). I had a look at MeteoFrance's website the other day and there's far more data on there.

It annoys me as well how the MetOffice "03xxx" weather stations have easily accessible data but the "99xxx" ones do not. It creates a very patchy picture depending on what you have access to. There's no official single place to look at live data when there should be.

I wouldn't have thought it'd have hurt to tweet hourly updates instead of sporadic ones. They've now deleted two tweets due to errors in them. I appreciate today is pretty busy for them but they've had enough notice...

Won't need the de-icer tomorrow morning.

I did read an article on Faversham somewhere or have I got that wrong?

In places like the LTCC Swanwick they get the live weather data from the London Airports, so it's all very possible.  Technology is there, it's just not public domain.

Will wait for confirmation, several stations in the vicinity on WUnderground are all above 38c
