So we have lost the early lead but we are still on target for 38C however the loss in momentum probably makes 38.5C difficult.

29/11 (-6), 30/11 (-6), 02/12 (-5), 03/12 (-5), 04/12 (-3), 16/01 (-3), 18/01 (-8), 08/02 (-5)

Total: 8 days with snow/sleet falling.

18/12 (-1), 06/03 (-6), 08/03 (-8), 09/03 (-6), 10/03 (-8), 11/03 (-5), 14/03 (-6)

I believe it is 35.5 in 1990, also hit 34C in July 2015.

Nearby Bawtry has reached 35.6 in September.

Generally a very warm part of the North/Midlands (however you want to classify it)

Patchy AcCas has largely cleared north and not held us back much. The Sheffield record still on! 🔥😎

Over the last hour at my PWS (link in signature) the temperature has risen from 33.6C to 34.8C (new record) but the humidity has fallen from 42% to 33%. As a result the heat index has slightly decreased; it peaked at 35.5C but is now down to 35.0C. Looks like it is still clear and sunny at home.

Metcheck has 37.3C close to Stevenage in Herts.

https://www.metcheck.com/WEATHER/live_weather_map.asp#

Remember the heat continues to build past the zenith (1pm) and the Chgeltenham peak on 3/8/90 was about 4pm.

Still game on as far as I can see and if this number is accepted then we've already topped the July record by half a degree.

Cambridge airport seems to be one of the hottest and I'm not sure if that is a Met Office approved one, or only the NIAB.

34.7C was the highest hourly reading at 1pm back in 2003 AFAIK. This time we have a 35.5C so should be on course. Cloud permitting!
