it does seem high but 1995 was different league stuff. Every day from July 20 to August 2 recorded over 30C somewhere in the UK, then another week from August 15, and there were also 30s in June. I'll see if I can find the stats.

OK going back to 1995. I checked the Met Office Daily Weather Summaries and the true number seems to be 27 days, not 34.

June: 28, 29, 30

July: 9, 10, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31

August: 1, 2, 3, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22

Unless there were other higher figures that came in after these were published? Trevor Harley says every day from July 20 to August 2, but July 22, 23, 24 maxima in the DWS were just 24.0C, 26.0C and 28.5C, and the 28th was 28.0C

Ok well done,  did u check May and September? 27 seems more realistic. 

Yep, none in May or September. September was generally not that warm. May had an early heatwave with temps peaking around 28C in the first week, then cool.

Back to today and Achnagart hit 31.2C in the end, just ahead of Ross on Wye at 31.1C.

Interesting that Achnagart in the north west highlands recorded the highest official temperature in the UK yesterday at 31.2C. That doesn't happen very often.  

You are quite welcome to have them next heatwave.😁

Back up to 27C yesterday and looking possibly a bit warmer today here.

Shows how our climate has changed. In the 80s the same synoptics would have given us about 22c

Hopefully tomorrow we can get rid of the trapped heat in the house, but looks like getting warm and humid again after that until Sunday

I'm removing OT posts. 

Looks like the warmest on Monday was 28.1C in Hull, so not even close to 30C in the end. The models had suggested 30C in E Anglia.

This Friday could well hit 30c ,but the models are really struggling with this mini very warm/hot spell. Wide selection of maxes .

the weekend looking awful and hanging on to Monday and perhaps Tuesday.  Might need the central heating. LOL!

Charlwood has hit 30.3c 

Making it the 12th 30c day this year, could be a while before we see the 13th but output could easily change. 

Northolt hit 31c today not sure if anywhere else got higher

Good old Santon Downham actually was slightly hotter 31.1c

The next 30c ??????

2026?

But seriously, no sign of it in the next two weeks.

With luck, not for some time.

Yes , 22c to 27c looks the range for a while 

Most likely next year. But September these days is another summer month.  

That's hardly cold.  🙂🙂🙂
