Yes I put the data into a spreadsheet.
2022 (to 8 Aug): 25C+ 37 days, 28C+ 23 days, 29C+ 16 days, 30C+ 10 days, 32C+ 5 days, 35C+ 2 days
2018 (to 8 Aug): 25C+ 51 days, 28C+ 32 days, 29C+ 27 days, 30C+ 24 days, 32C+ 6 days, 35C+ 2 days
2018 (JJA): 25C+ 59 days, 28C+ 33 days, 29C+ 27 days, 30C+ 24 days, 32C+ 6 days, 35C+ 2 days
So we would need every day from now till the end of August to reach 25C to beat 2018 on that score! However the GFS this morning would see us catching up on the 28C+ count, and probably catching up on many of the others (not to mention smashing the 35+!)
