So the much trumpetted 34, 35 and even 40’s did not come to fruition?

Quite a strange day here. The temperature peaked at 26°C around 13:00, before slowly dropping off as the cooler air mass moved in. Now it's 19°C with cloud and a strong breeze... you'd be wondering what all the fuss was about.

Don't want today the last day of heat until September. if they were touting for 35-36C and here 33-34C then only way to get that is Scotland and the north to join the 30's club.

It's pleasant at 24C with a brisk SW breeze. Yesterday was warmer at about 27C but it's unbroken sunshine today.

Mercifully I seem to have avoided the worst of the heat with a peak of 24.1 C at 3.40 pm, a decent sea breeze and the fairly low humidity (mid-60%) were effective as nature's own air conditioning. Have sat outside on garden chair all afternoon in relative comfort but my famed west-facing hobby room is starting to heat up now with the afternoon sun shining into it, even with pretty much all windows around the house and front door wide open.

24.7C briefly, below 20C now.
Today has been pretty windy and never felt what I'd call hot.

A hot day in second half of June, in selected southern UHI locations.

He should have looked up 1976 before spouting such tollocks.

A pretty unsensational and well balanced piece of reporting I'd Say Four.

I believe he even brought up 1976 for you🤣

Excerpt below taken from the Met office article linked by Four above.

"Reaching 34C during June is a rare, but not unprecedented, event in the historical climate records for the UK.

"But if it should happen this week it would be notable that it would have occurred on three days during the last six Junes."

He added the other days were 21 June 2017 and 29 June 2019.

Before that the only previous Junes when England saw a number of stations reach 34C or higher were 3 June 1947, 29 June 1957, and 26-28 June 1976."

On topic a late surge in temps, most likely aided by blowtorch Global Warming, or cloud/haze clearing allowed the temperature to peak @ 30.1C around 16:30.

Probably more of an issue is not what is happening here but over France and Spain.

Because our weather is so fluid it is difficult to compare these things objectively.

Irrespective of whether you believe AGW or not, the agenda means that all weather events seem to be tied to CC

It's 29 C in Sheffield, with quite a stiff W wind. Mostly clear skies with occasional Cu hum and Cu med clouds, plus Ci and Cs clouds to the N.
