Concur. These are holding togeather. They need to steer clear of West London as that's the hot spot currently. Its making me very nervous right now.

If we're going for a new record we've got to be over 32C already and comfortably so.

http://www.winchesterweather.org.uk/ - might just be threatened.

Keeping an eye on those showers in the Channel - they do look like potential spoilers - but for now it's clear blue and glorious.

I'd liked to have seen some 33C by now; but I think I am just getting paranoid

33.1C at Heathrow on the 11am reading. Still well ahead of 2003. (31.5C for reference). It'll reach 35C before midday, then it's a question of how soon the cloud arrives.

I notice the HARMONIE model has it down to 23C by 7pm in the London area as storms race in!

Also worth keeping in mind that it’s the flow from France that’s enabling such extreme temps today, with local surface heating important, but not quite as much so as usual when looking for record high temps.

Shower reaching Bournemouth looks to have fizzled as it encountered dry thermals from the land.
