Great to see Yeovilton take the record.  Wonder if the usual suspects will retake it tmrw.

36.6C now at Yeovilton, pushes 2006 out of the all-time top 10 and ties with 2 August 1990 in joint 9th.

My Metar site only gives whole degrees. Do you have a link?

The afternoon shift has arrived on the  MetO website - and hurrah, they've spotted the 38C over Leysdown tomorrow. I still think tomorrow will see the highest temperatures from this heatwave (in absolute terms, not just here!)

Friday:

Exceptionally hot in another mainly fine day with sunshine, perhaps periodically hazy. Some early low cloud in coastal districts clearing. Gusty, thundery downpours possible initially, mainly in west. Maximum temperature 38 °C.

Incidentally it's just reached 35.5C here, hottest of the day. Maybe the shift of heat eastwards is already starting to happen?

Meanwhile the evil, cold, menacing haar is beginning to extend it's tendrils into the city. It's destroyed a rare chance for Edinburgh to experience a heatwave 😡

Apart from that, what astonishing high temperatures down south!

Ian Ferguson reporting the Yeovilton may be discounted. Currently under scrutiny by UKMO.

Unless their is site issue, I don't see the issue, it was probably one of the most favoured locations today according to models.
