Looks like we're on for the record today
We were actually hotter by this stage on July 1 2015: Heathrow was 32.6C at 10am. But then there was a dip around midday for a couple of hours, otherwise I think 38C+ would have been smashed then as well.
Concur. These are holding togeather. They need to steer clear of West London as that's the hot spot currently. Its making me very nervous right now.
From your last post yes in 2015 I was so annoyed too because I think we could had got a 40C that time. 33C here in Lower Stoke now and cloud free.
Can anyone confirm cloud situation near Portsmouth?
If we're going for a new record we've got to be over 32C already and comfortably so.
On the live webcam it looks sunny albeit hazy.

Clear overhead, a lot of cloud on the horizon
Gone a bit hazy here in outer Birmingham. 27C currently.
Its on target very hot here no panic very very hot in France
A fair old breeze has got up.
I'd liked to have seen some 33C by now; but I think I am just getting paranoid
33.1C at Heathrow on the 11am reading. Still well ahead of 2003. (31.5C for reference). It'll reach 35C before midday, then it's a question of how soon the cloud arrives.
I notice the HARMONIE model has it down to 23C by 7pm in the London area as storms race in!

Also worth keeping in mind that it’s the flow from France that’s enabling such extreme temps today, with local surface heating important, but not quite as much so as usual when looking for record high temps.Shower reaching Bournemouth looks to have fizzled as it encountered dry thermals from the land.
Typical thundery high based skies looking a post on FB from Bournemouth. Potential for popcorn storms but as long as the instability line stays W of London I'm happy
