Me too, 98-01, good times

Thunder rolling around here and few big drops now falling

33.0C now and Epsom big drop to 23C with storms there.  Still have another hour to go here if stay like this.

Sorry to be a pain but can someone post the UK max temperatures for Monday 10th and Tuesday 11th August? 

35.5c and 35.7c both Heathrow

With the caveat that Monday's max at Heathrow is missing.

The Monday temperature was actually likely to be higher than 35.5, as that was the highest hourly reading. For some reason the daily 6pm synop report didn't include a maximum temp, so it looks like 35.5 will go down in the records. Potentially a 36C missed out.

Meanwhile despite the cloud the temp here has hit a new high of 34.2.

Its been a bit touch and go here as to whether 30c would be achieved today. This due to occasional cloud cover and briefly the very rare and brief appearance of a light sea breeze.

Skies have cleared, we've lost the sea breeze and a recovery has taken place. As a result 30c has been breached again (7 days out of 7) 

A truly remarkable achievement given I'm only a mile or so inland from the coast !

30.4 / 21.1c

I reckon this has pissed all over 1976 locally. 

That's amazing. Is that a local record? I know Cheltenham has been higher.

The lightening and thunder is continuous

Either way it is still hotter than ANY day in the 1980s which is what I wanted to check.

And in the past fortnight we have had 3 of the 15 hottest days ever recorded! And after today, five of the top 25 I believe.

Thunder almost constant here now and the showers are knocking temperatures back at the hotspots, Heathrow down to 31 in the rain on the METAR

I'm surprised it hasn't dropped more in a thunderstorm. Here the temperature has dropped from 32C to 22C in 30 minutes!

Expect it will have in the next reading. The PWS at Feltham people are following has gone down from 35 to 29 to 25 in the last hour.

Heathrow was still 30.2. Here it has dropped from 34 to 26C and still falling, even though there has been only a drop or two of rain.

Staverton seems to have stopped sending METARS, the 1520 and 1550 were blank.

Pershore (34.1) and Brize Norton (34.2) hanging on to the heat. 

Hazy sun and now 32.4C after dropping from 33C max here to 27.6c in few minutes from few drop of rain earlier on.
