Proper nanny state. 
In the headlines this afternoon “homeless people suffering blistered skin” ….translates to a few too many special brew, fell asleep and got sunburn. 

Were you with Boris when he was laughing at them and waving £20 notes in their face?

As Rob show list of weather station I see Birmingham only 36C while Nuneaton on app show 37C max as it reached at 6.30pm after the clouds attack earlier on.  Don't know if Nuneaton have official weather station for the Met office?  I only see Coventry but Nuneaton is quite a big town as Redhill and Epsom which both had their weather station shut down.  

Tomorrow is the Weather Cup final and very tense to see if we can win against the cloud attackers to get a new record and get a trophy.  Today first half was very poor and now a break tonight and play again tomorrow.  No work for me tomorrow so will watch the rise early and try to get a score early before cloud attacks. 

Not sure if Battersea Heliport is an official station but it had risen to 35.5C at 7pm, its hottest reading of the day! Urban heat island in full effect!

Still 32.2°C here. Incredible at 20:00.

It's possible it might still be above 30°C at 21:00, which would be beyond unheard of.

Nearest other station to Nuneaton is Market Bosworth which reached 35.8C on the hourly readings.

 

I'm afraid there were a lot of Armageddon posts on here but let's see what happens tomorrow 

Gooner - you do realise we won’t know the excess deaths attributable to this for a very long time until ONS figures are released? Before we’ve even got to the first sticky sleepless night for many is a bit soon to dismiss the impacts.

Have never seen it used in the extremes even when it is warmest. Is on some tarmac with tall buildings nearby. Perhaps representative of what it is like for people in Riverside apartments but not a standard site AFAIK. Given all that, am a bit surprised they publish the data.

Still waiting for the dry heat air and very clear skies but still lot of clouds around and very polluted skies.  When this will go away as it been outstay it welcome for 2 days now.  Best warmer weather was on Saturday under clear dry air and hotter feel factor than today.

New temp record for Coventry today Jiries now 36.5c it may even be a bit higher as that was an hour before peak.

Thanks Rob, if there was s official station here I am sure it would be 37C as my app said, not my garden as it was lower due to clouds blockage.

Cloud attack from the SE of here around 2pm which came from Coventry that may had prevent them from going ot 37-38C values.

How come during the heat of the day when the sun goes behind the tiniest wisp of a cloud, the temperature quickly drops by a couple of degrees…..but come evening when the sun has disappeared below the horizon the temperature seems to stay static (still 32c at half eight at night!).

Weather is a very frustrating business.

*I realise the above sounds more like a Jiries post. 

32.7C here still

 

I’m not sure you understand what a nanny state is. Or is the state now the headline writers of the tabloids?

2018 is equal to 1976 for the UK. 76 was warmer in Central England. 

Maybe but I only pay attention to the CET series 

Sorry if it’s confusing:

I’ve just spent the evening watching Sky news. Wall to wall coverage. Tell me again, what has the government done today (that notoriously woke, lefty Tory government we are currently enjoying) to infringe your civil liberties in any way whatsoever?

We don’t even have a hosepipe ban or a ban on outdoor smoking in the countryside. Or even a ban on barbecues or bonfires. Vast swathes of France are on alerte canicule currently meaning a large number of ordinary activities are restricted. In the libertarian paradise of the UK, nada.

Are you suggesting that never happened in the 1970s? Because I might have news for you...

Most certainly did ...............some things never change

Yes it did drop a lot to low 30's and when sun came out, did not recovered back to the max I got.   Any cloud shading it disable the rising times.
