Looks like the highest minimum on the SYNOP network was 22.6C at Loftus Samos. There are other stations, of course.
Looking at all the max data from yesterday, although we seem to have just missed out on the all-time record (or tied it, if you discount Brogdale, which when analysed was considered to be unrepresentative by a about 2C!) there must be a good chance that it was the hottest day in England overall in history?
Not sure how you would work that out, but in terms of the widespread heat it was remarkable. Maybe the mean of all weather stations, or of course the more basic CET - was it the record daily CET, anyone?
