Yup,I know how that feels. On Friday I reached 29.9C the highest of this year so far. 30C is prerry rare here so to miss out on the tiniest amount is a little galling to say the least.

Same here on Thursday 29.9c, very frustrating.  Agree its pretty rare at this altitude too.

30.7c on 1st July 2015 was the last 30c here (32 to 34c on the lowest ground in Yorkshire)

Thanks Gusty,I thought it was a few years before that,i was only 0.1 c out,but if you rounded it up,its 30C. My opinion of the springs,summers and early autumn are tied in with the car booting season which runs from March/April to October in my locality.In the last 3 years ,hardly done any car boots in August due to poor weather.Ended up doing more car boots in September and October.October has been superb weather wise for car booting 3 years in a row,not only for warm temps but for how dry it is.2 years ago,the weather was so good in October,alot of the local car boots which usually finish mid October extended into early November due to the ground being dry enough
