The 1800 synops are starting to come in, showing the official maxima.Bedford's one still doesn't show any temp data, even for the daily max. What a shambles.Highest so far - all those over 35C to date.

What did Cavendish max out at?And Stansted?
Cavendish doesn't seem to supply a daily max. The highest hourly reading was 35.6C.
I don't think there is an official Met Office site at Stansted.
Brogdale 38.4c according to BBC SE.
You're having a laugh
Any word on Cambridge Botanic Gardens? And Hampstead, Stowe, Buntingford No 2, Wallingford...?
36.2c in my garden made it my hottest day on record (from 2003) beating the 35.7c recorded in July 2006Obviously not standard exposure though

Just going by these figures alone, which model do you think performed the best regarding the maxima today? One thing for sure, the HARMONIE proved to be an overestimator yet again. (I commented a few days ago that it did the same thing over here during the late June heatwave last year)
Wonder what the satellite implied maximun temperature was today?
Probably at least 40C somewhere.
UKV appears to have overcooked too. Arpege was the best.
AROME did very well. Got the location bang on too.
Hadn't Arpege consistently shown 39-40°C in places or is my memory playing tricks?
Today's forecast was very good but ARPEGE was worse than most when it came to overcooking until today.
Yesterday it went for 41C in the cambridge area. Worse than HARMONIE
That would seem to be the case alright.
Arome is high-res enough to show a little ring of high temps for Cambridge (and a ring of lower temperatures over Grafham Water nearby!)
