As an aside, after dipping into NW on the odd occassion in years past, I don't know why anyone would prefer that to here. I know the MO thread can get a little fractious at times (the mods do a good job), but that other place is just riddled with snideness, unpleasant digs, and acrimony.

What I hate on there is all the guilt-tripping and all of the cold vs warm rubbish. In summer, it's "you enjoy heat, so you're happy to see wildfires and people getting heatstroke" and then in winter it's "you like cold, so your happy to see the elderly freeze and the economy slow down" or "you like mild and wet, so you like people being flooded" and all that crap. It get's pathetic.


You wonder why some of them are even weather enthusiasts to begin with.

34.5 looks like today's max, so just higher than yesterday. GFS has notched the temp for tomorrow down again, 35 rather than 36.


The heat has been impressive but slightly lower than originally modelled. It was looking like 4 or 5 days above 35C at one stage, but we may only end up with 1 or 2, if that.

Some local records beaten today - Milford Haven in the far South West of Wales recorded its highest ever temperature with 30.8c, similarly Mumbles Head had its hottest day ever with 31.2c

Down in the Southwest of England Camborne tied its all time record (set just weeks ago in July) with 30.4c and Plymouth had its hottest August day on record with 32.7c

My old stomping ground - the Isles of Scilly hit 24c (I can't find the granular detail) but that puts it very close to the all time high there of 25c.

Certainly a very note worthy spell of weather here in the Southwest

The Met Office also quoted it on Twitter as 34.5.

Wasn't worth making a thread for this but whilst it's still 23.5C outside at 2.15am I was looking into cold summer nights and oddly most have happened in the past 50 year's.

15/31 of the coldest July night's on record have happened in the last 50 year's.

20/31 of the coldest August nights have happened in the last 50 year's.

I see Newquay is leading the pack at 10.30 with 30C. How often does that happen?

Remarkably also 28C already in Penzance and Lands End, and 24C in St Mary’s in the Isles of Scilly.



Anyone know the hottest Cornish day on record?

A great poster to have, with his superb stats. I don't recall him having a fall-out with anyone, so can't understand hy he's left (although he did have a period of not posting a few years ago, too)


Global Warming is another who's just stopped all contributions, mid-way through the CET comp, without any explanation (which I think is rather bloody out of order).


FrankH has brilliantly taken over the running of the CET comp, but obviously GW has all the previous data, and was great at the graphical presentation aspect of it.


Don't know what's going to happen with this comp going forwards, but it's a big part of TWO for me (and to a lot of others, I know)

New record for Ibiza airport. Apparently a new Balearics record of 44.5C st at Formentera. A little curious about the Formentera temperature but aemet seem happy.

New August record set at Brest (Brittany) of 36C. Would be an all-time record if it wasnt for the heatwave last month where 39.3 was recorded.

Not sure if Charlwood hit 35.0 or 34.9. Seen conflicting reports.

When were the cold nights, a particular period or scattered across the 50 years?

When I tried it for the daily CET for July minima under 7C I got 10 out of 52 in the past 50 years (since 1972)  and 42 out of 52 pre 1972 which is what I would have expected to see

34.9°C as reported to the nearest whole °C is 35°C so even if the actual value is 34.9°C, it is not actually technically incorrect to see that written as 35°C if we are only reporting that to the nearest 1°C.
