The highest was 39.1 in 2022 - the first time I experienced proper "hairdryer" heat here. I had the same station then (VP2 with fan).

At face value the 12Z GFS will have us equalling the 1995 30C record (34 days) by Monday, with four full weeks of summer left.

I wasn't sure what the record was. Also I thought today made it 31 days of 30C or over. So we're damned close to breaking that record and potentially by a mile and some.Ā  šŸ™‚šŸ™‚šŸ™‚šŸ™‚
