Does anyone know if the Boxworth site in Cambs that recorded the hottest temperature of 1995 is still in action? Google seems to imply not. Shame, as it would be nice for nostalgia’s sake if it managed the hottest temperature this year on Friday.

GEFS 12z can hardly be described as a washout.

South Cambridgeshire. 93 metres or 302.25 feet ASL.
Yep, Heathrow has actually been a degree or so cooler than central London or places E/NE of the capital. Looking at readings over the last couple of days, City Airport has often been a degree or two hotter which doesn’t normally happen with City airport being by the river and closer to the estuary.

Strange part was Southend on sea was 26c by 10:00 then 30c by 12:00 most unusual for sea town in Essex
it then dropped out of the running

ps
the other locations took another 2 or 3 hours to reach 30c Southend made by 12;00 most strange
For fans of extreme heat, the EC ens has 5-6 perturbations for 4-5 Aug with >20C at 850mb and 2 runs with ~25C at 850 (>40C in SE England).
I guess a 10% risk of extreme heat sounds reasonable at this stage.

Maybe a sea breeze sprang up today, or the wind backed more SW dragging cooler air from the Thames.
Perhaps it was due to high tide I know sea breeze increase at that time it certainly looked odds on this morning in being top spot it was easily in front at 9;00

Out of interest, and if you know (I’m guessing you get this professionally) what 850s are they modelling for central France?
I'll start a new thread and close this one at 22:40.
