Temperatures really holding up this evening. What’s remarkable is when the shower cane through earlier it dropped to 25C and then shot up again above 32C

It clouded over here around 4pm, we had no rain but the temp dropped a couple of degrees and then went back up again. It’s still 32c, completely calm and very sticky!

Is Teddington the same station as Hampton Waterworks?

It is fairly new (Feb 2017) and I think is a replacement for Hampton WW.

I’m sticking with my prediction that Brogdale will match current the record, or exceed it. If
Langdon Bay can get 35.9 then I’d expect Brogdale to be something around 38.5, maybe as high as 39.0.

Are we certain the 38.1 is Cambridge NIAB and not a phoned in reading from the Botanic Garden?

Well, the Cambridge NIAB station isn't in Cambridge but north of the A14 next to Histon.
