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.

No surprise to see today has been the warmest of the heatwave. It often happens at the end as the plume gets shoved away eastwards, it's something we've often seen over the years.

Seems like the strong heating has levelled off especially in the London area as cloud has moved in. 38-39C still seems possible in E Anglia though.

Just need 37.2C to make it the 6th hottest day ever. This would be 1990 would be relegated another place and would mean the top 6 have all occurred in the last 23 years, and 5 in the last 7 years,

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.

Extraordinary times.

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!)

Still very sunny and very hot at the moment 36.2C outside conservatory now matching last month highest temps at 44.6C and steady.  Indoors lving room 36.2C and othe rrooms 33-34C.

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.

You know this heatwave is quite memorable when you class 33 C as getting cooler. 😅

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.

Quite alot of 36Cs around. We should go above 37C today at least, but I think 2003, 2019 and 2022 are looking safe.

Temp is wobbling about a bit here - 34.8c today's high, currently 32.4c after a drop when it turned cloudier.  Overnight low was 20.3c, warmest of the spell and living room started the day at 26.4c.

We'd need 38.7c today which is very unlikely. 

Still I'll settle for 2nd hottest 3 day period ever!
