They were still pretty hot and it will smash the CET record.


Rothamsted max was 38.5C


Pershore max was 37.0C


Stonyhurst max was 36.2C


 


That gives a mean max of 37.2C, which with the Hadley UHI adjustment should give 37.0C.

Bramham at 39.8c is annoying, would have been great to have a 40c North of the M62.

When driving from Bramham by the A1, the car thermometer always goes up a degree when you go down into the Vale of York, Tadcaster/York areas so a shame there is no station as 40c would almost certainly have been hit.

I am not even going to try and count how many stations got to 100F. The geographical spread is amazing. Hopefully the Met Office will come up with some maps (in bright crimson, natch).

We’ve been in Sheffield/Peak District the last couple of days and I can confirm it is/was unsettlingly hot.


Luckily we capitalised on some of Sheffield’s superb sheltered river valleys to escape the worst :-)

Nice display of mammatus at the moment here. Not as impressive as the evening of 25 July 2019 though, that was apocalyptic.

Looks like Waddington has been discounted by the met office.  Apparently the upkeep of the ground around the site to blame.

It remains hot and overcast. After such a breathtaking day the house is at 30C upstairs. Tonight will be more uncomfortable than last night I think.

Waddington has been overlooked by the Met Office for some reason despite tying for the lead!

Temperature holding up at about 26C which still feels warm and isn't providing much relief indoors. I was expecting a bigger breakdown. Looking forward to getting a bit of air in the house tomorrow

Can see lightning flickering away to my south west as a line of rain move slowly and painfully north east wards over the Channel. Still a hideously swampy 27 C & 57% H but a decent westerly breeze is in progress.

Still a hot 30C here at 10pm.    Despite the radar showing rain here, it's completely dry at the moment.

I have to say considering we got to 40.2C before 1pm, ending up with 40.3C was a bit of a surprise.
