It can be as hot as it wants in the day for me i love it, working from home i often nip out and spend 10 mins in the garden and take in the stunning Dales counrtyside, its the warm nights that are fairly unusal here, so when we get them boy is sleeping  made difficult.

26.4c sunny, wind ESE 7 mph

25c here in Workington - looking like a hot day in prospect 

27.1c

A very warm 26c but a light refreshing breeze from the NE.

Sea fog was just a mile away at one point an hour ago but seems to have evaporated now.
Redcar is cool at about 16C, 21.7C here.

Sunny and 26.2c too - not a cloud in the sky 

Plenty of cloud building up now here, temp dropped back to 26.4c from 27.1c at 11.03

NOt as warm as yesterday at this time but currently 26c expecting 29c if the clear blue skies continue.

DP: 13.6c

Rain : 16 days and counting of no rain.

Seriously hot in West Cumbria, already had a max of 29.2C.   Sea breeze may prevent it hotting up and more now.

Probably already been mentioned already but what would it take to get to "heatwave index 4 - national emergency"?

No sooner had you posted than up popped the convection. Really quite rapid, and looking deeper than recent days.

Is it only me or do others look upon these warnings with a modicum of amusement?
What purpose do they serve, other than to let us know what we already know.

This stage requires social and healthcare services to target specific actions at high-risk groups.

Does anyone know what specific actions are being targetted at high-risk groups?

Perfect today. 25.0c, strong sunshine and a fresh breeze.
