Same as here (in Jamaica) although our dew point is 25⁰C. 


What transpires over the next couple of days will be fascinating and hopefully not too harmful.

Talking of water temperatures the local watersports lake had a board saying the water temp was 26C on Friday and after a brief paddle I can believe it. It might be close to 30C by Tuesday night!

Peaked at 30.1°C here at about 17:50. Quite a late time to record such a high temperature in summer.

I think I’ve narrowed it down. That boomer generation are bizarrely ‘proud’ of the summer of 76, almost as if they own it. 
They don’t seem to like this overshadowing it - plus they don’t want to have to face reality on climate change.

Fortunately I have enlightened boomed parents who not only very clearly recognise climate change is of a different order of magnitude (this week they whatsapped me a photo of one of the Mt Blanc glaciers that’s a terrifyingly tiny shadow of what it was when we first visited in 1989) but my father was at the 1966 final.

Today felt very 1976 - an overall high of 33c; and widespread highs across the country of the high 20s / low 30s. It is however not that uncomfortable overall and I've enjoyed the heat today. I'm not sure I'd enjoy it for 2 weeks on the trot however and I'm aware that even today people will have died in the heat.

Tomorrow and the next day are going to be different however and not in a good way. Probably nearly 8 -10c higher again than today for most.

Looking at the max temps today, I thought the South would feature more as the heat is coming up that way but the temps in the North have been generally been more remarkable today e.g 33c at Hawarden.

Late 18.00 temp of 28.7c at Bingley at 270m asl is impressive, not sure what the max there was , but that must be way above it's mean annual maximum .

Thinking cloud will be an issue with regards to the really high temperatures. Also scattering of downpours near here just out to the west that I didn't see on a forecast, and plenty of AC overhead earlier.

Indeed some highly irregular activity just to the north and south of me with a friend near Yeovil reporting significant heavy rain drops. Not expected.

There’s actually some thunderstorms developing off the south coast.
Not sure that was in the script?!

Hope they don’t leave cloud dregs in the morning to slow the temperature rise.
