Highest I can see for 2018 was another 33.0C at Porthmadog on 29 June mentioned by Trevor Harley. 

Aviemore has hit 30c , the first 30c in Scotland since June 2023. 

32C at Usk so far. Not very often that the highest temperature in the UK is in Wales, at least not in summer (north Wales sometime is in winter foehn conditions)

Noticeable temperature drop down this way today, need a jumper on to sit on the shade and with a very refreshing breeze. No heatwave here, last two days we just about managed 27c but today we made 22c.

Had a trip up the the house I bought in Cumbria today. Planted a few plants in the garden and now I'm sat on a beach with an ice cream. Why waste a great day like this just painting or filling?

A lovely 28°C, even up here.

30c also reached in Northern Ireland,  first time since July 2022. 

Fabulous day here - max 25.4C. So looks like after yesterday's 29.3C Thursday will be the only day in the 30's here at 32.3C. 

32.6c in both Cardiff and Usk. So touch and go if we get a all time top ten.

LOL! 😂Oh, that made me laugh. Can't remember the last time I felt cold enough to need to wear a jumper, it would have been way back in the 90s - when we used to get proper snow.

It's 21.4C here in the shade with a gentle NE'ly breeze. It feels incredibly pleasant compared to the utter dross we've had over the past few weeks (aside from Monday where it only got to 22). It's a sad reminder of what we've lost, as back in the 90s this would have been a perfectly normal summer's day. 

It's still 27C upstairs and 25C downstairs, mind you... the very fabric of the house is acting like an unwelcome storage heater. It'll be back to the new normal tomorrow, the MetO raw has 25 to 29 now for the next 6 days. Tuesday still looks very useable on the GFS (21, some rain, a breeze) but the MetO raw is having none of it. I suspect the MetO will be right, but some rain would be wonderful!

Aviemore's reporting 31C as of 6PM, compared to 21.2C IMBY at the same time. There can't be many times, in summer, when Aviemore is 10C warmer than here!

33.1c in both Ross-on-Wye and Bute Park. So a top 10 Welsh temp.

Aviemore peaked at 32.2c , impressive for the Highlands 

Have the Welsh invaded Ross and nobody told me? 🙂

Bute Park is in Wales , Cardiff I believe 

Indeed, just being silly.

Tomorrow looks a bit touch and go for 30C+ but somewhere in the west should do it. Notable how the breeze has picked up here this evening cooling it off a bit.

10 days of 30ºC so far this summer, all in the past three weeks. Not bad.

Indeed saw  a stat saying only 1976 and 2018 had more this early in Summer. 

2013 think had more 

Good luck with the new house. Are you a married man now?!

Here are the stats ,from Met Office.  2013 at this stage only had 1

Well in the end Hay-on-Wye came out top at 32c. (According to Daily Mail) None of the record breaking temps for Wales came off that one or two on here were predicting.

Pish!

Best not to try and get your "facts" from the Daily Mail. On weather or anything for that matter.

Ross-on-Wye and Bute Park (Cardiff) both 33.1c were the high yesterday. 

Thanks, it just needs some work doing first and not yet, haha.

Another very warm morning here, though with a bit more of a breeze. Peaked at 29.8°C in Lancashire yesterday.

I do wonder where the Mail get their daily stats from as they always seem to be wrong.

As far as I can see there isn't even an official weather station at Hay-on-Wye.

APS: thanks for the link. Seems like the person who made it is already counting today as the 11th 30C day which is by no means guaranteed.

Yes they are, I think they presumed four 30c days in this spell making 11. Think we will today though.
