That also shows the cloud arriving by 4pm, so goes against their earlier forecasts. I suspect it will max out somewhere around 36C today.
Midday temp here 29.3. Last Friday it was dead on 30C I think.
Heathrow 31.4C at noon, Northolt 30.6C.
Farnborough is surprisingly up there in contention at 30.8C too.
Big difference here still compared to last Friday.
Today 29.9C at 1200
Last Friday 32.8C
But the temperature peaked at 1:45 last week due to a change of air mass. We might squeeze out a couple of extra hours of heating today.
32.3 here in Ruislip/Northolt. Sky absolutely cloudless and totally still, so perhaps we will get 37+ if it stays like this.. I thought 36-37 would be max today
I also notice last 20 minutes wind has swung se is this the key? IMO it will be very close and 30 by 12 first target meet
Bournemouth Hurn reached 30.0C at 1200 so widespread temperatures above 30C now
Farnborough was at 30.8C at 1200
Wisley 30.7C
Tibenham Airfield 31.1C

Very linear temperature increase in my back garden today

Just hitting 32C here. It's all so effortless these days.
32C used to always feel like the ultimate max in most hot spells.
32.1C here.
Rate of increase currently about 2.5 degrees per hour; was 3 degrees per hour earlier.
No midday lull today it feels like.
Id like to be at 35C by 14:00 please.
The cloud in the Channel has now reached Weymouth and is close to Swanage. Heading NNE. Hopefully it will stay away from the area around Heathrow until after temperatures peak.
My wife went to the coast at Christchurch with the kids so is probably going to get rained on before long...
Hope you didn’t forecast a dry day, or it’s the doghouse for you! 😂
