Still no official 40C unrounded readings other than Heathrow as yet, as far as I know. 39.9C at Charlwood the closest.
Here we are down to 35.3 from a peak of 36.4.

Now 34°C here in Hawick which definitely would beat the Scottish record if that was to be officially confirmed, and it would a real shame if that was scuppered for no reason other than the sheer lack of official stations in this part of the world.

As you say though, it's hard to get an 'official' record if there's no 'official' stations
Between 39.2C to 39.8 in the last hour so only pipped 40.1C for few minutes. So far no 42C official up in Yorkshire, It think it very hard to get to 42C as not many Met stations recording 40C
Has anybody checked out the rain radar ? interesting front of rain South West into Wales, its now clouded up here in my part of Gloucestershire. Looks like the 2 day heatwave is over for the time being

Doncaster back down to 39C. 40C is still proving a tough nut to crack, but I think the 4pm update will have a couple.
Amazingly after the front went through, Chivenor in Devon has climbed back up to 30C again!
Amazing temperature that, Brogdale has got to be close to 40c I'd have thought. Hovering between 34-35c here nearer the south coast.

One mystery cleared up: Cambridge Botanic Garden top temperature yesterday was 38.0C. So no record, unless Brogdale stepped up.https://twitter.com/CUBotanicGarden/status/1549330404502642688.
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.

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.
Ive been trying the same. Same result
