Already up to 25.5C at 08:30 on my weather station. Extraordinary heat for so early in the day, and ahead of where it was at this time on 1 July 2015. Got a very good feeling about today!
Me too, if the cloud can stay away.
Now 25.4C in the city centre.

Indeed. Met Office hinting at the chance for some thunderstorms from 15:00 onwards for Manchester. As much as I'd want one, hopefully they hang on until evening, so we can see the record go first!
The 08:50 Obs are going to be interesting. App is now sowing 28C.
To remain on schedule we need to ave achieved 26.7C. We were already very close at the last check point.
The returns over Normandy suggest that thunderstorms are likely in the SE at some point early afternoon which may spoil the heat lovers' party.
The latest UKV has them arriving between 14:00 and 15:00 UTC
9am Heathrow reading is a bonkers 28.8C. Smashing it so far.
That’s 2C above 2003 and nearly half a degree above 2015, which had a big blip in late morning.
28.8C at Heathrow @ 08:50
This is currently 2.1C ahead of 26.7C observed at the same time in 2003
I’m tracking the storms over NW France with interest and concern. https://www.meteo60.fr/radars-precipitations-pluie-france.phpIf they remain smallish single cells then they’ll dissipate and we only need worry about home grown stuff and a bit of cirrus. If they grown in scale and become multicellular they could give us a mid afternoon pall of mid level muck, 2015-style. So far they’re hanging in there and not dissipating but not exploding either.
I am hoping that, they might start drifting NW west once they get to the channel. I am nervous as well.
Radar seems to suggest light rain for the most part - may in fact be Virga / evaporating before hitting the ground. There’s nothing cataclysmic looking yet.
Those showers over France haven't developed into storms at the moment, so cloud footprint not as extensive as it could be if they did.
