I was thinking maybe not today there is still residual moisture, so I wonder if a delayed max and more steady warming that the typcal slowdown we see around this time.

Met Office raw has nudged us back up to 38C for tomorrow now.

Tomorrow might actually be hotter in this area than it was in July 2022.

I just can't imagine stacking little bales of hay by hand like we were doing in the heat of 76.

All round or big square bales now unless you are a masochist.😎

And knowing that it will stay warm way into the evening so I can sit out in the garden without feeling any chill.

Edit: 1pm, lots of 33s, Thorney Island 33.9C the highest. 

Local PWSs now reading 34-35.

Fleet PWS heat index now 40.5C and "feels like" 38.3C, both almost on a par with July 2022.

I don't think the Met Office keeps heat index statistics, but if they did I'd guess this week would be smashing all time records.

Fleet PWS: 35.7, dp 23.0. Heat index 41.5C as of 2pm.

34.7 at Bournemouth and Thorney Island. 

35.1 at Southampton Oceanographic Centre which I think is still official?

34.7C here at 2pm so keep an eye on Writtle. I potentially get a mini-fohn effect as I am at the low point of a large hill which is on the leeward side of the drift today. (Only 385 ft but pretty much the highest point between here and the north pole in a straight line!)

33.4c here. Feels like it’s flattened a bit in terms of the rate of rise, but it did this yesterday and then there was another spurt mid to late afternoon

Didn’t seem too bad this morning but in the last few hours the humidity has increased and the current temperature is 29.1c. The breeze has also gone.. my broadband is down as well due to overheating of the system? Really!

Only 30 C in Sheffield now (14.30 hrs bst) after an early rapid rise in temps; 27 C at 10 am (bst). It seems to have flattened out. Dew point is 13 C, yet it feels very oppressive, cf, the 39 C recorded on 19 July 2022!
