So we actually got to 33C, not 30.4C why isn't this being reported as the highest UK temp?

Exactly. You may as well quote temperatures for Gibraltar. Although actually Jersey was hotter than Gibraltar today!

Isle of Man is not part of the UK, Q.
22C in London now?! That's nearly a 6 degree drop in 1 hour! What a difference an easterly wind makes.

Really?? Its still 24.5C down here. That is a garden reading, on street level it's around 26C still lol.
Perhaps it's to do with the humidity? Dryer air cools & heats quicker.
Still almost 25c here. Filton checking in similar at 9pm. Love. It!
Forgot that the other thread is for July and we are still in June. Anyway heavy rain now falling here accompanied by thunder. Temperature still 22.7C. Classic summer storm setup.
Had a few flashes of lightning and one audible rumble of thunder, and a brief spell of rain. Not much but quite unexpected.
This was about 20 minutes ago.
Currently 20.5 C and 70% humidity and it feels very close indoors, I had windows open to try and take advantage of that brisk south east breeze but all I've been getting was that toxic in-your-face stench of skunk wafting into my room. M'eh.
At 2200BST the warmest place in the UK was ....... Capel Curig! at 24.5C closely followed by Shawbury at 24.4C and Filton at 24.3C.

If stay like that you should see low 30's by tomorrow.
12.1 and 30C today here.
The temp here has gone back up again in the last 40 minutes, was 23.8C now 24.4C.
There is a breeze picking up again but it's a warm wind.
Theta E readings off the scale in northern England tomorrow evening

You can see why Estofex has issued a level 2 warning. Could be very interesting indeed.
Here is the humidex chart ("feels like" temperature) for late tomorrow afternoon (in the south) and early tomorrow evening (further north). A very pleasant 39C across the spine of England from Kent up towards Carlisle!

Why the warning? Well, I'm sat in nothing but my smegs Don't worry, none of the outside lights are on and my garden isn't overlooked. Just sat here in the warmth and quiet watching the stars in the fading twilight and wishing it could always be like this.
Ideal conditions outside, shame I work nights and miss it (though I guess I can be outside during the heat of the day instead). Having just got back from Magaluf where it was 35C on Monday, it felt great not to get off the plane here and feel cold!
