There we go, a new record already! And the first comment doesn't disappoint either. 😂

(It also beats the disputed 33.4 from 1947).

31.2C here. I was reading about the UK May 1944 hot spell. What happened after May and into June, was interesting. 

A similar repeat this year would be welcome by some here, but not all, I would guess.

It's reached 30°C on my weather station. It's by far the earliest day in the year I've recorded it.

Today is now our hottest day of the year so far here in Edinburgh with a temperature of exactly bang on 24.0°C at Gogarbank and 24.5°C at the botanic gardens which is now just 0.8°C short of today's date record for there.

We quite often don't actually get our maximum temperatures at this time of the year until very late in the afternoon, so it is now looking likely that this date record may well be broken.

Furthermore, both of these temperatures are higher than what DEW quoted on the MO thread as today's predicted maximum for here by the AIFS model so regardless of what now happens, that model has already at the very least, underestimated today's temperatures.

I can see a 38C on the Arpege 06Z. The full grid may even have a 39C.

Sea breeze is blowing at times.

Not sure if 31C is a May record down here.

The BBC's live feed says:

The BBC has confirmed with the Met Office that the highest temperature so far this afternoon has reached 34.0C at Heathrow and Teddington.

As we've been reporting, elsewhere Wales has seen its warmest May day on record with 31.1C at Trawscoed.

Scotland and Northern Ireland have had their warmest day of the year with 25.5C at Charterhall and 24.6C at Hillsborough.

There’s a chance we could see an update to this later this afternoon once all the data comes in but we’re now getting past the hottest part of the day so temperatures are generally levelling off.

The temperature peaked at 31.4°C on my PWS. Really remarkable for May, given we're still nearly a month away from the summer solstice.

Hopefully more to come this summer!
