Always a stall at this time, I wonder if there is a scientific reason for this. It usually lasts until 14:00 and then things creep up again.

Third day in a row over 36c, only 1990 has done that before.
It has turned into a truly historic spell.
Temp continues to fall here, now down to 33c after high of 35.7c

Oh, almost forgot to mention, it didn't get any lower thsn 23.2 C at 4 am at my end. Made for rather uncomfortable broken nights sleep. Dreading tonight with the nearby nightclub being open until 3 am - unless I actually get lucky with a thundery downpour by then.

BTW this is now the 12th date record set in 2026 and the fourth in a row in June, following five in a row in May.
Still creeping up here behind the cloud band. 33.1C now.

Plateaued out at 28.6°C for the last hour and it actually feels lovely (after 35.2 yesterday). As Einstein theorised....

Indeed , it was a ridiculous decision not to include EA in the Red zone.
Not the first time the Met Office have got it badly wrong.

It is not just based on one maximum temperature.

Retire while you can still press the 'retire now' button.
Extraordinary times.

We're currently equalling thd hottest 3 day period (in terms of Max temps) ever recorded in the UK. It's very likely to surpass that in the next hour.

Currently we have 36.1, 36.7, 36.1 so some way short. (Max official site so far is 36.1 at Cranwell which is another flippin' RAF base!)
I think the 850's over 20 uppers should leaving soon and say thank you for your visit here for few days, take care and see you soon.
Edit it briefly went to 44.7C now 44.6C. Outside steady for a while now.
