It's now calm (of course), partly cloudy and, thanks to being a bit of a local frost hollow, 16.3, dew 14.5. Other stations locally are reporting anywhere from 18 to 20 (at the yacht club)... yuck, frankly.

Yesterday's high was 28.7 and the overnight low so far is 16.3.

Feeling unpleasant outside already. Still calm, still sunny (high cloud in the west, but it's not going anywhere fast). 20.6C, dew 19.3 (!) - I went outside to top up the bird bath and you could almost wring the water out of the air, it feels that thick and heavy.

EDIT: 21.8, dew 20.1 now... the first 20C dewpoint of the year, and something that was unknown up to about 10 years ago.

Much better here today with sunny spells and already 19 C by 10am. Feels slightly more humid but good to see brightness and warmth after yesterday's gloom

Looks like being the warmest day of the year (so far?) IMBY as I'm already at 27.2 C & 60% H under unbroken sunshine and light winds.

Total cloud and breezy again now and back down to 20 C after 21 C earlier.
Looking forward to the fresh westerly on Sunday, it's the only way we will see sunshine

Just shy of 28C now but temperature drops away quite a bit towards the coast. Feeling horrendously humid (we've been used to air a lot fresher of late).

To a first approximation, mid-morning readings:

25C+ southeast of the Fosse Way
20C+ for the rest of England and Wales (plus a few spots in Scotland favoured by the Fohn effect)
15C+ for the rest of Scotland
10C+ for Faeroes and Shetland

Quite a lot of 30s already. 30.9c at Wisley is the highest I can see. So it's the hottest day of the year.

(The previous longest stretch was 10 years from 1994 to 2003; and the longest entirely in the 20th century was just seven: the war years, 1939-1945!)

"Only" 23 in my living room, mind you, as I trapped some cooler air in there first thing this morning (via the fan on the patio trick). The curtains, doors and windows have been firmly shut all day!

31C here at 14.40hrs - in the shade on the east-facing side of the house. No wind and feeling bloody hot.
