The highest temperature at an official station which I can find for here in Scotland is 31°C at Eskdalemuir, but that is below the old Scottish record.


There are a number of official stations not all that far away from here which are recording temperatures which are close to or even above what I have reported for here in Hawick but rather frustratingly, they are all just on the other side of the English borders and so, it is looking as that lack of official stations down here is scuppering our chances of the Scottish record, and that is very frustrating indeed, given how hot it is here in Hawick.

"About 2,500 properties in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire do not have electricity, with some believed to have been off since Monday afternoon. Northern Powergrid said it was working hard to restore supply to affected homes and businesses. Temperatures approaching 40C (107.6F) have led to conductors sagging and transformers overheating, it said."

This is the sort of thing I warned about the other day.


London Euston trains suspended over cable fire


All trains between London Euston and Milton Keynes have been suspended as emergency services deal with a fire near the track.


The blaze was caused when overhead electric cables came down in Harrow in north London, which Network Rail said was caused by the extreme temperatures. [source: BBC]
