32.1C here.
Rate of increase currently about 2.5 degrees per hour; was 3 degrees per hour earlier.
No midday lull today it feels like.
Id like to be at 35C by 14:00 please.
That area of cloud over the Channel is getting close. Looks like surface heating will be interrupted for a while. Hard to judge how long - an hour or so perhaps.

The cloud in the Channel has now reached Weymouth and is close to Swanage. Heading NNE. Hopefully it will stay away from the area around Heathrow until after temperatures peak.

Caen near the north French coast reached 35.0C @1200
Holding steady at 29.3c but with the source of air directly off the continent with a minimal sea track of 22 miles I expect the temperature to start climbing again in tandem with our French neighbours.

31.3C here at 1pm. A rise of exactly 2C in an hour.Heathrow on 33.5C at 1pm. Last Friday it was 35.7C at the same time. With cloud on the way I think 36C is going to be the limit.
I can see what looks like cumulus in the far west.
