31.5c from 18c at 5.30am. High cloud coming and going. MetO has us in Club 18 to 40 by 3pm, BBC going 41c. Insolation key over next few hours.

---

33.3c today by 10:33, yesterday it was 1:33, some nice symmetry but crazy hot given we got down to 17c last night.

---

35c here after a low of 21c.

---

Yup!

36.2c

---

Now 35C at Manchester University.

---

Cloud has disappeared here. Hopefully I should record a higher max than yesterday.

---

So far not so hot in Scotland - they need to go some to beat the national record. Borders probably the most likely area.

---

Seems to be holding steady at around 31 C in my back yard after an overnight low of 24.2 C at 12.15 am.

I'm actually not feeling that bad by not sweating with a fan close by and my elderly mother also has her own fan next to her bed and she is still asleep. Although I have noticed outdoors humidity have just shot up to 50% thus bringing DP at 18 C after having been sub 15 C with low 30 % H in past few hours.

Still, like I said before I'm glad I no longer work in a tomato greenhouse.

---

34c here now
Looking to beat station reacord of 36.6c in 2019

 

Yellow Thunderstorm warning just issued for tomorrow in this region.

---

GFS 06z steady with the 41s - not backing off yet. In fact ever so slightly hotter than 00z.

---

Hang on, something's up. Rapid increase stopped and fallen 0.4C to 34.1C. Sea breeze? Don't panic Mr Mannering!

---

Assuming the record does go today - which is looking increasingly likely, it wouldn't surprise me if we have the record going in one location only for it to be surpassed later elsewhere. Perhaps Cambridge gets there first and then somewhere in the East Midlands or South Yorks takes it by the end of the day ....

I’ve just hit 36C exactly, which is already higher than yesterday

---

That's just ridiculous for these parts whatever time of the day. What is the link to this?

35C now so 5C left to 40C soon.  Lovely hot dry air now so no clouds around.

Thick cloud has pegged back temperatures so far but the cloud is breaking and it has risen from 22 to 26 in under an hour. I've never felt the air like this up here - it has that warm, soupy feeling so familiar from summer holidays in France and Austria.

---

4 x 36C in my temperature watch zone. Won’t be long until a 37C now.

---

34.6C at Little Bursted vineyard. It keeps rising.

Marginally higher humidity than yesterday so far, but that may drop off in the afternoon as it usually does. Current DP 14C.

---

36c now.

---

This is beyond ridiculous. I mean seriously, wtf is going on????

---

Here I have just reached yesterdays maximum of 34.9c. It is 10:58, madness.

---

Bloody North Africans!!!!!

---

36C now

It's mental isn't it. 

The one consolation is that it's dry heat. 

Edit to say it's showing 35C here at the moment.
