Currently 31.4C, following on from a max of 33.2C earlier this evening.
Dropped below 30C now. What kind of heatwave is this? :)

Don't feed the troll

I’ve just spent the evening watching Sky news. Wall to wall coverage. Tell me again, what has the government done today (that notoriously woke, lefty Tory government we are currently enjoying) to infringe your civil liberties in any way whatsoever?
We don’t even have a hosepipe ban or a ban on outdoor smoking in the countryside. Or even a ban on barbecues or bonfires. Vast swathes of France are on alerte canicule currently meaning a large number of ordinary activities are restricted. In the libertarian paradise of the UK, nada.

We probably ought to, only just now i caught a nasty whiff of a cheap sausage on a Barbecue
Still 32.2°C here. Incredible at 20:00.It's possible it might still be above 30°C at 21:00, which would be beyond unheard of.

I just plunged into our deep paddling pool in full t-shirt and shorts - I’d recommend it, by far the best way to cool off. And I’m now actually shivering. Local PWSs down to about 31C now. 21C at vineyard.

Cloud attack from the SE of here around 2pm which came from Coventry that may had prevent them from going ot 37-38C values.

31.2c @ 9:20pm!

Me too, although I’m not shivering but I am very cool and dripping.

Currently sat in it up to my chin(s), posting on here, with a nice cold Bud.
Think I'll probably have a final, pre-bedtime dip later, too.
Cooling down quicker than I expected in St Albans this evening. Now 27.4C on my garden thermometer. No overnight records likely in these parts. I'm guessing humidity is still low and is allowing temperatures to fall away quickly.

Temperature records broken as Met Éireann establish new Climate Services Division - Met Éireann - The Irish Meteorological Service
Came close to breaking the all time highest national maxima, but just not quite close enough.
Anyone know where I can find official station records? I think there's a chance Langdon Bay, Dover record will fall tomorrow, from memory I think it's 35.7c from 2019. As I remember a late surge in front of a storm that rolled in. Remarkable as it is about a stone's throw from the sea and on top of Dover cliffs and very exposed.
Aww! Sounds perfect. My sister’s proper miffed because she’s just bought a new hot tub but hasn’t had it installed yet and she’s sold her old one! I’d got a still boxed 10ft x 2.5 ft Easy Up pool in our loft, that I bought about 20 years ago. We’d got one already but this one was half price in a sale, so it went in the loft. I thought it might be perished but it’s fine and it’s really served its purpose today. Sister came for a dip as well!
Our tub is only an inflatable one (Lay-Z-Spa). We've had it about 6/7 years now and wouldn't be without it. Particularly comes into its own in spells like this, though.
30c here and its nearly 11pm!!!!
