Keep on topic . I've just removed one quite unecessary post from someone.
Cambridge Botanical Garden reading in from yesterday - it was 38.0c

Still holding steady at 31.5 C& 42% H = 17 C DP at my end. That's plenty hot enough for me with fans hard at work. I'd like to see a new record go along with the first 40 C, but just not here in my back yard please.
Which station location are you using Duane? Watnall only has 34.1 at 11am.

Not sure what mine is and I wont know until I get home.
I am in Gent at the moment with a hair dryer wind blowing with an air temp of 35.
The record here is 40.3 from 2019 and unlikely to be broken.
UK in the sweet spot for record breaking temps but the weather in my home town of Brixham is apparently very dramatic with heavy thunderstorms coming through right now.
Quite the plume you could say!
Meanwhile, Thunderstorms in the SW as chewing their way up though Devon. I don't think they are coming fast enough to interfere with the temp rise in Eastern areas but should provide some relief here by this evening

Just like 25 July 2019 when it read 0.5C higher than Cambridge NIAB. Something to note today when considering Cambridge NIAB's reading and while waiting to hear the Botanic Garden one.
37.1c at 11.30 an amazing high so far; the rise has slowed to 3.7c an hour.
100f @ 1133am.

37c here sys my phone!!
Other stations local and private at 36 to 37c now.
Off for a (short) walk soon to experience this heat. Might not happen again for another fifty years (or more likely next year!).
Meanwhile the neighbours are strimming hedges. Are they mad?
That Charlwood reading of 37.3 was at 9:50 am according to Sky.

I believe that Morecambe's 10Z temperature of 33.6C is a record at that site by almost a degree.
Not as pretty as yours, but this one is located in a rural village (Dedham) just north of Colchester. Useful to get an idea of 'real' temperatures outside of the smoking metropolis of Colchester ;-)

Breaking: Charlwood likely to be 38.5 when it reports at 12:00
