Doesn’t look like the record is going to go today? That’s something of an anticlimax seeing as there was a fair bit of talk around two 40c+ days in a row

Finished work at 2pm in central London Bank area.  Not as many people about but I'd did spot two men drinking white wine in the full sun. Makes you proud to be British 😁🙃

I suspect we'll hit 40°C in Durham, which beggars belief, frankly.

The vale of York in particular I think will get hammered.

If we see 40°C tomorrow, I don't think it will be the only time before this decade is over...

Hit 37C in garden today. 16.45hrs. Astounding. I spent 10-15 minutes sitting outside - in the shade of course - and returning to the house was a blissful experience. Like stepping into a fridge. A mere 25C.

Wouldn't fancy being in that 3-mile traffic jam on the M2 this evening! Miserable, especially as it's 35C or so out there. There's a familiar place close by, too!

There should be 3-4 different areas seeing >40C tomorrow:


North Kent, Cambridge, Lincolnshire and the Vale of York. My guess is Cambridge will see the highest (~41C).

We are around 34C* here today and it's very oppressive. We anticipate >40C tomorrow. [sorry about the "54"]


In shade - eventually climbed to 37C.

Feels so warm outside this evening. Never felt it like this here before. Feels like I should be sitting outside a Greek restaurant but instead I'm in my garden drinking dandelion and burdock!

Looks like demand is around 5GW higher than yesterday at this time. Interesting, too, to see the coal stations fired up in the middle of summer!
