Interesting - the Wundermap shows that there are plenty of 27s and 28s in your neck of the woods. This spell certainly has shown some remarkably localised warmth!

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.
As expected the Met have got rid of the 37s on the automated output, showing 36 for today and tomorrow now for Heathrow.
Whats the bet that today we beat it and actually reach 37C. Temperatures have that acceleration feel today.
Maybe. But it will totally depend on cloud. Date records are under threat today and tomorrow though.
Arpege still going for 35c quite widely tomorrow. Even a cheeky 36c in EA.
I bet you we don't. I think it will be pretty much as yesterday.
Down here, we've had steady light rain for the past hour which is really suppressing the temperature. Such a relief!

TBH I cant wait for some rain. Id like to to all go bang from Wednesday onwards. But you'll have to suffer a few ore days Justin.
26C in Northolt now
They don't here! Pretty grey and doesn't feel that hot. 24C.
Heathrow 25.8C at 9am which is a degree or so down on the 2003 record.
Tim - we have already got two date records this month - 7th and 8th.

A think a number would be pretty pissed off if going through this does not convert into a good storm. For some it’s already delivered on that front.
This is the hour-by-hour record for 10 Aug 2003: https://www.ogimet.com/cgi-bin/gsynres?lang=en&ind=03772&decoded=yes&ndays=2&ano=2003&mes=08&day=10&hora=18
You can edit the URL to get any date in the past 20 years or so.
Bear in mind the times are in UTC so eg a 9am reading will show as 0800.
Same even in here too temperatures seem to wait for sun to come out to shoot up. Troublesome this heatwave with clouds around doing nothing. 18.2C last night at 5am and now 20.5C as it stalled from no sun yet as it would had been around 25-26C and get to 31C or 32C in here, was 30.6C yesterday because clouds was late to clear, if early would had gone to 32C.
