Our low was 15.5 C last night. Cooler, cloudier weather has arrived here with a few heavy bursts of rain last overnight. Still, we got to 27 C here yesterday, which I would only expect to see one or twice a decade in this location. It's just about as warm as I've ever recorded reliably here.

Elsewhere in Ireland, it managed to reach 30 C at one Met Eireann station in the midlands. Again, a once or twice in a decade event I would say.

Maybe it does according to the met office but personally I don't count 8am on a warm summers morning as last nights minimum. I prefer anything up to 6am possibly 7am in the winter because its still dark.

Have to wait and see but already 27c at Lakenheath. 

Overnight low 20.5C

Current temp 22.8C

33.9c.    Maximum     @  13:16  Tuesday  19th.

22.3c.    Minimum      @  03:15  Wednesday 20th.  

 It's clouded over now at this end, along with the fresh wind making it feel very comfortable, I think temperatures will fall back this morning before trying to rise up again in the afternoon.

If I really am pushed, I think we might juuuuuuuuuuust about squeeze out a 30 C somewhere over the south east in the middle part of the afternoon but the sun need to come back out and quickly get to work on us before the French plume finally leave us for good.

So did we break the all time record? If not did we at least beat the July record?

Highest min not being shown on the metoffice website (other 3 extremes are), is this a sign that its a record and its having to go through more rigorous verification?

They did say the other day that records could be broken though.  I cant remember seeing night time temps like that before - well, into northern England anyway.  Theyre fairly common in the south east.  But hardly ever IMBY

The highest minimum I have seen so far was 22.6C at Heathrow. The July record high minimum is 23.3C so the record still stands I think.

Us here on the south Kent coast are still struggling to shake off this thin low cloud/thin mist rolling in from the Channel with temperatures being pinned down at 21 C under a fresh south west wind. But to be honest, I'm so appreciating this cooling breeze. I think that's enough real summer for me - now I know why I'm never keen on it as I do feel rough after last night (woke up at 3 am soaked in sweat and thought I was going to be ill).
  Like I said before, I do appreciate a nice drop of sunshine and a bit of seasonal warmth to gladden the soul, but the past 24 hours was a bit too "in your face" for my own liking. Kinda reminded me too much of my old tomato greenhouse days.

Yes looks like EA just about Squeezed out a 30c before the cloud cover came. Although clear blues skies here again so maybe a late push but doubtful.

wouldnt be surprised as its 28C down here at the moment on the coast...

dew points in the 20's making it feel well sticky 😄👍🏼

Think it's just Pershore showing as 30, but plenty of 29s.   However these are rounded figures and I don't have the actual figure for Pershore yet.  Won't be surprised if it does breach 30c though.

Edit: Pershore on 29.5c but looks like the dastardly Heathrowvians have pipped us to it with 30.7c

Well the late surge might be on after all 31c at Heathrow now.
