Indeed I took that into account but it gave a highest half-hourly reading of 37.8, and I'm not sure it would under-read by that much based on comparing past data.


CambridgeNIAB's latest was 39.4, which would usually give 39.9 at the Botanic Garden, so for sure it will be close.

One mystery cleared up: Cambridge Botanic Garden top temperature yesterday was 38.0C. So no record, unless Brogdale stepped up.

My prediction for 4pm is that Coningsby and/or Scampton will smash past Heathrow's 40.2.

Just checked where I'm going to be holidaying at the end of the month.


15c and raining 



 


This only about 300 miles from where it's reached 100f today. The climate of this country is absolutely nuts.

An incredible 38.5c here now. Some PWS in Leeds are 40c.
Cooler air is at Keighley now, so should cool pretty quickly soon...

Yep whatever happens this is most historic day I can remember for UK weather and I don't like the heat much

Egg update. Left it in the frying pan in the sun for 2 hours. Ended up with crystallised dried egg but I wouldn't say it was cooked exactly. Won't be recommending that recipe.

I’m genuinely staggered by the amount of morons that are littered all around us.

Go on any have your say comment sections and there’s hundreds and hundreds of climate change deniers, morons who don’t understand climate vs weather, people denying any impacts of this weather etc.

Are people genuinely that stupid? It’s anger inducing.

As you say though, it's hard to get an 'official' record if there's no 'official' stations 



That is also where the highest temperature in Scotland at any official station has been recorded as well.


Here in Hawick, the temperature has dropped back slightly in the last hour, and appears to maxed out at around 34°C.


I have just very briefly ventured outside and when I did so, I was like walking into a massive furnace and I have never experienced anything like that in my entire life before.


There is a lot of high cloud around, but also some spells of sunshine but the sky looks very heavy, and that sunshine is very hazy and typical of what we would typically expect just before a summer heatwave breaks down in thunderstorms.


In addition to that, a slight breeze is now starting to pick up.


There are some official stations not all that far away from here which are recording similar records to what we are experiencing here but rather frustratingly, all of those stations are on the other side of the English border from here.


This means that despite the fact that today's maximum temperature was above the Scottish record here in Hawick that lack of official stations down here look like scuppering our record chances which is very frustrating indeed.


Meanwhile, Edinburgh is making a very late and unexpected bid for its own local record as the temperature up there has gone up to 30°C at Edinburgh Airport and around 30°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, but I have a feeling that it is probably a bit too late for that, although you can never rule anything out in that regard.


The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.
