Indeed I read it as that but we've all done it I guess.

 

Miss typing that is.

I don't understand what you mean by this.

Feels a lot more uncomfortable today than yesterday. Must be the humidity

Interesting distribution of temps with Andrewsfield (North Essex) reporting 31.3C.

Cambridge and Stansted airports both 32C on the 1.20pm METARs so there is plenty of heat north of London, unlike yesterday.

Is Wisely near Woking?

Its on my watch list today and loos to be around 33C currently.

This one is an even better proxy for Heathrow

But may underestimate it by between 0 and 1C

It's currently 33.1C and rising rapidly.

Seems pretty clear of mid level convection at the moment. There is a load of cloud across Northern France but I make it at least 3 hours away from London. Expecting a bit to bubble up later as the soundings implied they would, but there is plenty of insolation to go for the time being.

With the high humidity this feels like one of those slow but sure heat builders of a day. Nothing ultra-rapid like 1 July 2015 or the Friday before last, but not one of those days like yesterday where everything leaps up mid afternoon.

Also worth noting that the convection in France, which is visibly exploding on satellite, is across the Northern Massif central / Auvergne. Typical convection locus, but if it stays there then it will spread NE towards the low countries and miss the UK. Much better than explosive convection across Aquitaine or Limousin, which would be more of a cloud issue for the UK later or tomorrow.

Yes, just east of Woking and just outside the M25. I normally keep track of it here but this site stopped updating this morning. 

http://www.weathercast.co.uk/world-weather/weather-stations/obsid/99080.html

I don't know of any other sites giving hourly updates for these stations.

There is a real core of hear now in my watch areas of 

Hounslow 

Northolt

Woking

Richmond

32-33c in this area and inline with Arome. The question is will they go higher than the 35C predicted. I think so.

1.50 METARS: Heathrow, Cambridge, Stansted all 33. Farnborough and Gatwick 32. No 34s yet.

Heathrow actually 33.8 at 2pm.

Northolt 32.5

St James's Park 32.3

Rising inexorably, and no cloud issues yet.

I'm less than 20 miles from Heathrow and it's pretty cloudy here. Thin cloud - there are clear shadows from the sun, but it's far from clear.

It's a little clearer in the other direction towards London, but still more than 50% cloudy I'd say.

Big sudden rise at the Heathrow proxy. 33.9C now, so likely above 34C for the official station.

I have some of that here, but it's just cirrus so shouldn't affect temperature more than marginally unless it thickens into cirrostratus. Nothing mid level yet, and a few dots of cumulus which seem harmless enough. Any disruption in these conditions is likely to be mid based anyway - altocumulus, like yesterday.

Beautiful, proper looking summer sky on that cam regardless. 

Heathrow proxy now at 35C

My heatwatch areas are widely into the 33C now.

Northolt just went to 34C.

We are running out of heating time though, so going to be a bug ask to get to 36C I fear...
