So heatwave degree days at the end of day 5 are 0.1 + 6.4 + 4.5 + 4.0 + 5.4 (or possibly 5.5) = 20.4. 2 more days of 35 and one more of, say, 32 would get us up to 32.4.

When I counted the other day, 2003 got to high 30s in total on account of its longevity - 10 days in a row of 30C+ versus what looks like 8 days this time.

Another hot day in Kingston upon Thames.

Thursday was 30c

Friday was 35c

Saturday was 33c

Sunday was 33c

Today was 35c

Have a portable air conditioner for the lounge, but bedrooms uncomfortable, it is currently 27c and this morning at 6am was 20c

Tomorrow is likely to be another day of 35c (maybe degree or two higher)

Kew isn't on the synop list, and the site I had been using (Weathercast/Meteogroup) hasn't been updating today. Likewise Wisley, Wiggoholt, Frittenden et al.

Incidentally our Virgin TV box has just shut itself down with a message that it's overheated. First time I've seen that!

Was such a warm night and no wonder. London City Airport was the warmest spot with 22C.

So what will today bring. Some showery rain in parts of the SE is their right now, but away from some hits spots.

36C-37C today I think of showers can stay away from key area.

I want a record.

Lots of showers seem to be breaking out this morning could scupper any chances of mid 30s today.

Once again the cloudy weather persist on this most cloudiest heatwave ever I know, since day one not a single day being wall to wall sunshine anywhere in the UK.

Heathrow and St James’s Park both had a low of 21.2 overnight.

Looks like the Met went with 35.5C as yesterday’s high but a few tenths may well have been lost due to data error as that was only the highest hourly reading and no daily max seems to have been sent.

Sitting outside at 8am and the heat is building rapidly. Wouldn't rule out a record today if the cloud holds off. Out with the blowtorch and in with the flamethrower. Epic heat.

The shower that looked like heading towards me looks like skirting to the NE.

Hopefully West London is clear. Temperatures already up to 23C.

Any records today will need to see temperatures into the 30s by 11am

What’s today’s date record? Surely in with a chance now we’ve passed the peak of the 2003 heatwave dates.

34.7 is the date record. Good luck to those further west in the SE as this morning’s useless showers have wrecked it for areas to the east.

8.45am and it's 28C in my home office. Only 23C outside though and a fair bit of altocumulusy clag about

Down here on the western fringes of the New Forest, it’s actually the first start to the day of this heatwave that’s had the ‘unbelievably hot feel already, really hot day coming’ as sensation to it.

Mainly due to a lack of any wind and relative humidity in the 80s %. There was a slight mist until about 6 am.

Preceding few days all took surprisingly long to reach hot numbers (to me, 28*C +). Today feels like it’ll be different, unless clouds develop or arrive.

As expected the Met have got rid of the 37s on the automated output, showing 36 for today and tomorrow now for Heathrow.

Looks like this could be the last really hot, potential record-breaking day. The BBC 5-day forecast has downgraded tomorrow's max. to 32c presumably due to all the anticipated thunderstorm activity and Thursday has gone down from 29c to 28c.

24.6c @9am | DP 19c | Humidity 71% | Hazy sunshine

Feeling very hot like the tropics, temperature increasing at 1.5c per hour. About the same temperature as 31st July, could be on course to get +37c.
