It's a little clearer in the other direction towards London, but still more than 50% cloudy I'd say.

Nothing mid level yet, and a few dots of cumulus which seem harmless enough. Any disruption in these conditions is likely to be mid based anyway - altocumulus, like yesterday.

My heatwatch areas are widely into the 33C now.


Northolt just went to 34C.


We are running out of heating time though, so going to be a bug ask to get to 36C I fear...

Seems to have plateaued just below 32 C here. Highest I have seen at Blackbushe is 31.9 although the station doesn't seem to give a daily max.

Edit: Northolt is 34.1 so we have at least made an official 34C for the fourth day in a row.

2pm was 33.8C. The 1400Z (3pm) synops have three above 34C: Heathrow 34.6 and Northolt and St James's Park both 34.1.


 


Nudged up again here, 32.2C the new high at Blackbushe.
