Doncaster Airport was reporting 32C at 12.20 with a 1C dewpoint for a humidity of 13.8%. Is this a UK record?

IIRC in 2019 the max at Cambridge Airport matched the Botanic Garden exactly, with Cambridge NIAB being 0.7C cooler.

There's been a change of airmass here - even though the wind's still mostly from the SW, the dewpoint has risen sharply and the temperature has fallen a bit. No complaints from me about the latter!

(I note the other nearby stations are now lower than mine - suggests a bit of a sea-breeze effect).

EDIT:

11:45 - 32.9 / 14.4

12:45 - 32.2 / 16.9

Think we're looking at 38c or 39c today going to be very close.

Certainly 40C (as forecast by GFS tomorrow) would have been completely out of the question.

Scary to think that the temperatures we've seen today have already beaten anything recorded in the 80s.

Almost 31c now near Folkestone, still in trousers and still pleasant under the tree facing the breeze.

my iphone is showing 36 for Northolt now. Will be round up but must surely mean we've breached 35 C at 13.00 here

I suspect Heathrow will be out of the running this afternoon because cloud is now building.

I misremembered - in 2019 Cambridge Airport matched Cambridge NIAB at 38.2, here's the photo evidence:
