Impressive to very nearly hit 30*C on the South Coast today.

Given that GFS (which undercooked the maximums across the south by 1-3*C today) is showing temperatures 1*C higher tomorrow, perhaps 31*C is in reach.

By that logic, 32*C could be seen on Thursday.

Friday is currently shown to be similar to Thursday, but you never know, temps could sneak a tad higher as the flow turns more northerly going into the weekend... 

My wst maxed at 28.2C at 16.20 yesterday.

Got no further than 27.6c . 

Today should see temperatures rising very rapidly over the coming few hours.

The 8-9am rise was subdued a fair bit across much of the SE though, and having noticed that there was some mist and low cloud in the northern reaches of the region this morning, I guess the northerly flow transported the relatively cooler air underneath it aross rhe region, explaning why temperatures only rose by around a degree at most, as opposed to the usual 2-3*C per hour under sunny skies.

Perhaps I'm looking into it a bit much though 

Rapidly rising temperatures under clear skies here in The Highlands, it is 22.2c here from a low of 10.1c

In the west temperatures have reached 24c already from Kinlochbervie in the far NW down to Glenfinnan, a different story on the east coast where it is 13c with the dreaded haar.

I can see 28 or 29c up here today.

25C @ 9.50am in Derry - it's gonna be the hottest day of the year so far here.

The hottest temperature ever recorded in Northern Ireland is 30.8C - we'll probably not beat that today, but it might get close over the next couple of days!

27c in Kinlochewe

28c in Cromdale

The haar is clinging around the Moray coast up here, 19 miles apart we have 15c at Daviot in the cloud, just to the south of Inverness and 27c here in Carrbridge in glorious sunshine.

28.5c here with a breeze feels perfect

25.2C here as the max so far, I notice Blackpool is 28C, here in the NW region the coast is always warmer/hottter in these set ups with the easterly wind giving coastal areas the offshore hot flow instead of the cooler onshore one.

Yep, 27C in Manchester and Liverpool too now.

Almost cloudless and much better than the plume weather we had at the end of last week.

Got to a high of 28.9c before the breeze got stronger and knocked the temperature down to 26.2 currently.

Stayed below 20C again here with stiff NE breeze - quite pleasant really.

Still 26.9C here, and it`s breezy.

27.3c here, temperature still creeping up.

27.00c...Tops...
