I think Cambridge might fall just short of the current record. I wonder if another place will get it today and lose it tomorrow 🤪

A huge wasted opportunity today. I'm sorry. 


32.1c with a dewpoint of 10.0c here a mile from the coast on a SSW'ly ! 


I'm gunning for 38c here tomorrow with the SE flow.

Time for one last surge of heat today? I notice Luton Airport as edged back up to 36C. 


We're going to get very close to the record today somewhere!

Peaked at 38.5C here in S.Essex at 15.35pm, almost exactly the same time as the previous 2019 record. WHilst mine is not official it meets most of the criteria so I wouldn't be surprised if North Kent or Southern East Anglia top out. Last time Cambridge was 2C warmer than here.


Maybe I will break it again. Been fairly clear skies all day here.

Today is also only the third 38C+ day on record. All of them in the last 20 years.


This is also the first 100F day that hasn't featured a breakdown in the evening.


 


Cambridge still 38C at 1520Z, no 39Cs on the METARs yet. Presumably no record between hours as yet or the Met would have tweeted.

Forecast to be warmer tomorrow but it was 30.4⁰C in Aboyne @4pm

(Aberdeen being more coastal was at 27⁰C. Could it reach 30⁰ tomorrow? If it does I think that would be a record)

Highest temp shown on my weather station today was 35.4c - I suspect that's a slightly high reading as although it's a covered sensor it does record high in the sun.


Currently 26.6c indoors with the temp still rising. I don't think temps will drop noticeably until quite late this evening so imagine house will be around 25/26c in the morning before the heat builds again. Deep joy

Temperature is still climbing here after I thought we had peaked early afternoon. Now 33.8C under intense sunshine.

It has to start ticking down soon, of course, but it'll be slow..
