Aslo looks likely we will have a tenth 32C of 2026 today (and sixth consecutive one). 31.6 the highest official hourly I have seen.

My portable aircon really struggled last night, as an aside, so I think the time for split a/c is getting ever closer. Much though I don't want to do it, I think I'll start getting quotes over the winter (which is always a good time to buy a/c stuff!)

Not a record breaking day today, but still a very hot day for parts of the country
