It got to 30.3c on sunday in Watford but I have been in Avignon South France since Saturday and it hit 35c today, scorchio!! 

As of 2pm it looks like officially Costa-del-Solent is once again the UK hotspot.

27.1C is my max today at 3.15pm 🙂

Not as warm as yesterday at this point however unlike yesterday today the winds have died down more during the afternoon so I'm still optimistic we will hit at least 28C maybe even 29C.

26.4°C here. Lower humidity than yesterday but the deepest blue sky I can ever recall seeing in July! The sun feels staggeringly hot, more like being in the Med. with sunbathing a challenge to behold.

It's breezy again but that's not really making much difference. Truly memorable weather, shame some temporary cloud looks likely later on tomorrow

Loving every moment 

Edinburgh and Strathallan both reporting 28c at 4pm. Cooler here on the NE Fife coast at 23c.

yes, 28c is being recorded at places from the South all the way up to Scotland....

A hot feeling 28c here in light winds.

Looks like Teesside hit 29c at 15:50....that's the highest I've seen today

Got up to 26.6C here, now down to 25.9C. I think the cloud earlier spoiled the chances of getting a degree or two higher. 

28c

Hot and Sunny

Might be worth looking at Durham's official temp (it is an official station but releases its data later). Max today (on my PWS): 30.2°C.

I am beside myself in a way that only fellow weather buffs could understand.

Reached 26.8C at 12:30pm. Not that I was able to enjoy it stuck in an office and during the afternoon it turned overcast and right now the temperature is a dire 15.6C Just horrendous and even worse than last years warmest day of the year when it dropped from 24.5C during working hours to 17C and rain by evening.

Not had a single day of wall to wall sunshine from this underwhelming spell and tomorrow looks awful as does the weekend and next week. No way is this the best spell of weather for 7 years or even the best spell of summer weather for 7 years

Where do you get Durham's data from? It's one of those official Met stations that doesn't seem to be easily found on the internet.

Ahot 27c max today in sunny Bournemouth,a couple of degrees down from the 29c

yesterday and sunday,

Just 10 miles inland ringwood has hit 30c+ for the 3rd day in succesion,30.6c today

is that an official station?

Actually that is a bit off. MRSC stands for "Maritime Rescue Sub Centre" and the Stevenson screen itself is right here:

A bit close to the building?
