Anyone know where I can find official station records? I think there's a chance Langdon Bay, Dover record will fall tomorrow, from memory I think it's 35.7c from 2019. As I remember a late surge in front of a storm that rolled in. Remarkable as it is about a stone's throw from the sea and on top of Dover cliffs and very exposed.

It is CSV format available to download but you need to register as a user and create an account

I had a quick look and 25/7/2019 is shown as 35.9 max

Lying in a hammock in the garden as bedroom is still 25C even with the windows wide open

So based on the raw data here are the highest maxima I could find (they seem to read to the hundredth of a degree!) - thanks to John in Edinburgh for the decoding tips!

Santon Downham 38.15C

Cavendish 37.86C

Cambridge NIAB 37.53C

Surely Santon Downham should go down as 38.2C? 🙂

At midnight Shoreham was 20C two hours later it was 27C. The joys of living on the south coast during a heatwave.

Same here in Central Devon in Okehampton.

Midnight temp was 24.5c and now it's 25.5c. So the temperature has actually risen during the night. Indoor temperature is now 28.0c so risen as well despite opening windows. Breeze has picked up at least but still....🙄

Just incredible heat. Fun from a meteorological perspective and weather enthusiast but terrible for sleeping!

I hope we break the all-time record high of 38.7c tomorrow (Tuesday!). We are so close!l7

Hope I'll sleep tonight and everyone else is/was able to get aome "shut eye!"😴

I got a clean hand towel dampened it in water and kept it in the fridge and took it out to cover my body...it's helping me cool down (a smidge!).
