Seems most unlikely. Much fresher air is expected to move in after midnight. Temperatures unlikely to be much higher than 17-18C anywhere by morning if the models are to be believed. The NMM has fairly accurate temperatures at 2200 this evening showing some places above 26C.

Could get close to 30C again tomorrow in western parts of London around Heathrow and Northolt

Worth keeping an eye on temperatures in Belgium and Holland tomorrow and again on Saturday. There is an outside chance of the national record being broken in both countries.

Current record is 38.8C in Belgium and 38.6C in Holland which of course is very close to the UK record.

The chart for tomorrow afternoon from the NMM model has a 38C shown on the chart in Holland. Widespread >37C

A repeat performance on Saturday

god its roasting here 23.9C hum 65%

Just had a warm shower which was driven by heat in loft have had no hot water on for 3 days

Starting to gather to our south

Unfortunately it had been discontinued on recording it since 2006 but if was today I would reckon be around Death Valley alike at 57-58C as the highest record was 57C back in July 19th 2006 when it reached 36.5C outside here.

Would be interesting to drive from 38C zone to 21C zone in a short space of time.  It show 27C on the coast of Kent while 18z show up to 32C on Saturday which the BBC still continue to dismss them and put rather very low temps for 18-20C uppers on Saturday. 

looks like no update from them tonight just extended the time to Thursday morning

Potentially very severe situation with number of question marks will develop over parts of UK. As the plume of steep lapse rates overspreads the low level airmass characterised by dewpoints of 16 - 18 deg C, moderate degree of latent instability will develop over the region. CAPE values will stay mostly between 500 - 1500 J/kg, but some models allow up to 2000 J/kg of CAPE, especially over N England / S Scotland. Strong flow at low to mid-troposphere will result in 15 - 25 m/s of 0-3 and 0-6 km bulk wind shear, values well conducive for organised convection. Furthermore, veering of wind with height will favour curved hodographs and more than 200 m2/s2 of SREH in the 0-3 km layer. Such conditions would be very conducive for supercells, probably in the HP mode, or bow echoes, as much of the wind shear is confined to the surface to 700 hPa layer. Large (or even very large hail), damaging winds and even tornadoes (especially in the northern part of Lvl 2 with low LCLs) could accompany such well organised storms.

Completely dead in the water here now, sickeningly. Down to 15c and the aircon has been turned off. 

Still 22C here - actually rose slightly after midnight but falling a little bit now.

I do love the city on balmy summer evenings.

Matty, keep in mind what you are feeling now is what everyone else on TWO feels when a warm front turns the snow to rain.

Still 21C in Birmingham, just went to Asda and walked out and felt like being on the continent.

24.5c at 11pm last night but things did cool down considerably in the second half of the night to give a 6am minimum temperature of 16.0c. Despite the early night heat I slept like a log.

Warming up again now, 19.3c, but not on the rapid scale it did yesterday. Thundery rain in two or three hours will surpress temperatures today too. 

Last night temperatures was a joke, the house was like a sauna. Now we've had our extreme excitement can we just stick to a nice 20*c to 25*c please 

Or maybe the heat can avoid kent and travel west a little. So far this year has failed to match the previous 2 years for day time heat over this way. 

Top temperature of 29C Tuesday & 28C yesterday - these are just a couple of very warm summers days, and by no stretch were they 'Hot'. 

Time for a warm NE I think, you kent folk can chill under the cold breeze and we southern folk can sweat in heat 😜

But in all seriousness do you actually need it hotter than 28 to 29*c? Why do you want it hotter? Give me a nice 22*c and sunny any time and I'll sit and sunbath all day if I didn't have to work 

A terrific thunderstorm in Seahouses last night. Woken by a flash of lightning at 12.55am, then there was continuous thunder and lightning for an hour and ten minutes.

21-23C are fairly average summer temperatures around here, 24-25C are also very common during a normal summer... A typical summers week would have at least one day of 25C warmth.

So to answer your question yes I do like a heatwave. Two consecutive days of 28-29C don't constitute as a heatwave in my books, 5 or more days @ 27-30C would be heatwave, or 3 days 29-31C. Getting above 31C down here is quite rare, though in isolated heat traps within the city this is probably a little less rare.

I wasn't talking about a heatwave though, I was talking about last night's heat after a hot day. I'd take one of your heatwaves if I was on holiday...or just let me bank a "Common" summer of 25*c and sunny days. 

As much as I did get excited over seeing that temperature record being toppled yesterday, I'm glad that the silly heat was quite short lived and is now quickly becoming a memory. Like I said, I don't mind a nice drop of sunshine and a bit of warmth to gladden the soul but yesterday was just too much to bear (reminds me too much of my tomato greenhouses days). Thankfully I did get to have a good night's sleep last night so I'm not being all cranky and special today.
  A pity that us Kent Folks aren't being rewarded with a good light show as compensation for putting up with the heat and humidity but I guess that will be for another day as there is still the rest of this summer yet to come.

I guess it depends to some extent on what you are used to as regards what you think of as hot. Yesterday I recorded 28.9C and I most certainly consider that to be 'hot'. That could very well be the highest temperature I record all year.
