That’ll be way off for here. We are at 24c already and it got to 33c here yesterday and it was a couple of degrees cooler at this time than it is today. 

Also showing 36C on the IoW!

A low of just 22 °C.🥵

Roll on the cooler fresher air.

One thing worth remembering is that those plots are only showing 1 grid point in 30. Therefore, it's likely that there will be significant variations over very small distances that aren't visible.

I probably won't get time, but if I do, I'll plot the full 06Z temperature grid later today.

Tell me about it, that's my closest weather station and last night when I went to bed it was 24.5c in the house, I stupidly opened the windows and an hour later it was 26.5c. Probably the most uncomfortable night's sleep I've ever had.

UKV looks closer to what I’d expect

👍 It’s possible.  It was 25c at 8 am here and it’s currently 26.8c. 

Looks like Suffolk,  Essex and Kent flying up

However, the Met Office's text forecasts cover a very wide area and so, this would suggest that we are likely to see more of a North Sea influence during tomorrow. Even with that, I can still possibly see some high temperatures being recorded in the south of Edinburgh at Swanston, and possibly even at Gogarbank as well. However, I would imagine that due to its closer proximity to the coast, the temperature at the botanic gardens would probably be pegged back to the low to possibly mid 20s°C with that.

With that North Sea influence as well, I would imagine that you would probably have to go even further inland than the south of Edinburgh to be able to get anything which is challenging 30°C and for that reason, I'm not expecting any more records to be broken here with this current spell of weather.

I was just looking at the 2022 historic heat watch thread and on that 40C day, Heathrow was already 32.2C at 9am (0800Z)!

This morning it was 27.7C at that time. The highest was 28.5C at St Catherine's Point on the IOW - usually one of the coolest stations in the daytime!

Some very high dewpoints currently though - 23C at Southampton airport, and lots of 22s.

The zoomable AROME view on Meteociel shows quite a large area of 37C in London and also some in Dorset and around Southampton. Tomorrow it has the peak of the heat further west with a 39C isotherm over Basingstoke.

Right on the coast as well , mad!

Currently 29.1 with 22.8 dp giving a "feels like" of 33.1C and it's not even 10am.

I do think SW of London is the hot spot to look out for today, that area missed all the storms and if I understand has quite sandy soils. I think we will get the June record today and perhaps even a cheeky100F.

Pity - I'd have liked to have clocked the 'big 100' here 

The plus side is that the descent back to normal temps takes a couple days longer so Saturday now still touches 80f. We get a band of patchy rain overnight Sat/Sun, which cleares early to leave Sunday pretty refreshed.

Wunderground link is a bit delayed which shows how quickly it's shooting up.

EDIT: and I have a scarcely believable 25.7C dewpoint. Yuck

I'm in that area - we do have sandy soil but we did get some rain (albeit not the torrential storms). That Fleet weather station was at 29.6C at 10am, I think 36-37C in this part of the world is quite likely today. None of the official stations round here are in very hot locations though. Alice Holt always seems to read very cool, Farnborough was fairly high yesterday though.

26.8, dew 23.8.
