Apart from being a record for Aboyne what also makes it interesting is that it is nowhere near the amber heat warning area in Scotland.

Phoenix Park in Dublin recorded it's highest max on record today, and this station's data goes back to the early 1800s. 

Temperature records broken as Met Éireann establish new Climate Services Division - Met Éireann - The Irish Meteorological Service

Came close to breaking the all time highest national maxima, but just not quite close enough. 

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.

Our tub is only an inflatable one (Lay-Z-Spa). We've had it about 6/7 years now and wouldn't be without it. Particularly comes into its own in spells like this, though. 

30c here and its nearly 11pm!!!!

Langdon Bay has daily temperture data in the Met Office MIDAS collection from 1990 to 2020

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

That's awesome, many thanks for that, 35.9c to beat then. I'll have sort out an account and register. Thank you again 

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

Santon Downham 38.15C

Cavendish 37.86C

Cambridge NIAB 37.53C

Surely Santon Downham should go down as 38.2C? 🙂

So the maximin record is next up. Can someone explain the rules?

What does 'night' mean? Is it the lowest temp until 9am?

Yes.

Rain showing in East Anglia on latest radar. SOme pretty much near Santon Downham. You reap what you sow 

Should keep the temperature up though? Cloud is coming over here after a clear sky was letting it cool down too much!

Still 28C here at midnight.

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!).
