We're all looking in the wrong place for the UK record, surely it's going to be Jiries house. Get the oven and hairdryer on Jiries and its a sure thing! 

---

36.9c here now, not bad for rural Berkshire on top of a hill.

Thankfully only 25c in the house.

Have you taken your suit and tie off yet Jiries?

---

Mentioning greenhouses, I have managed to restrict mine to 42.5 with regular damping down, and shade netting. Considering its 40c outside I'm quite happy with that. Just given the Toms another drink despite a good watering at 9am.

---

I think it's the synop feed being slow. Ogimet also hasn't updated half the stations yet.

---

 

Liverpool JLA now down to 33c, as the breeze swings more W'ly and increases.

Manchester Airport has just hit 37c.

 

---

I was going to suggest he turns his heating on... his house would probably show up on some Met O anomaly map!!

---

He really is.  He is to Summer what Gary Sarre was to winter

---

37.5C - on the rise after stalling for an hour so around 36C.

---

My local weather station is now above 39C and heading upwards fast.

Any word on data delays?

 

---

Gusty winds here.
We were derailed slightly by an area of high cloud that back-built annoyingly but now moved away.
37.1c now and climbing. So we have reached the 1990 national record. How long before the "cooler air arrives? Potentially another half an hour only here.

---

I'm not either. 

28.9c inside actually feels like a fridge compared to the 36.2c outside.

It's all relative. Walking inside the house after being in the garden for a couple of minutes feels so cool !

---

37.2c here in the obs desert of the VoY.

---

38.2c here and humidity now rising slowly

---

I’ve just posted an update from Dartford.

It was only a question.

---

Come on Man Utd, get to 38C 100F,   Any data for Birmingham?

Still at 39.5C and very nice dry air no sweat even in doors hot but feel pleasant as not humid like yesterday.

Holding steady at 34.3 C after a peak of 35.1 C at 1.20 pm. Needless to say, I don't miss my old tomato greenhouse working days but is 32.0 C in my famed west facing hobby room even with curtains closed and a fan on.

---

I went in my shed early and thought of Jiries (45C btw, and 55C on the inside of the roof)

---

Although hot, no where nears as hot as the 39 i reached yesterday. The wind is up meaning theres a breeze getting through the house. Yesterday the heat seemed to lock in place.

Considering ive got covid currently and locked in my bedroom you can understand how nasty that was...

---

I understand commercial growers like to keep temperatures between 20 and 25c for tomatoes. Surely impossible in this heat, without active cooling.

---

Still rising intermittently in Pett Bottom, remarkably. 38.7C just now.

---

Some stations are being very slow to update. The London ones seem to have peaked already (Heathrow down to 39.2 at 2pm).

---

It's 33C here but much more humid it would seem than inland hit area's. One local station has a dp now of 17.7C which is higher than it was a couple of hours ago!!

I think the approaching front is boosting the humidity.

Quick look at multiple other stations including official ones and would seem that Dp. Are widely in the 15-20C down along the Hampshire, IOW, and Dorset coastlines.

2pm (1300Z) update:

NORTHOLT AUTOMATIC W 39.5
