Seem Birmingham not reached 38C 100F? as there not on the list, nearest to me is Coleshill than Coventry which my app Nuneaton briefly reached 39C

Incidentally, I have found a link to one of the other mystery manual stations, Denver Complex near Downham Market. It looks like they may only upload their data once a month as there are only figures up to 1 July!

So there's a very very outside chance we might have another challenger.

A better placed manual station appears on the Met Office list, Tetford near Horncastle in Lincs, but there is no sign of it on WOW.

40c Heat, A One Off Or More To Come? - CW Weather (chorleyweather.com)

An interesting article.

Just searching through the WOW website and there are three other manual stations in the 39s that got missed off.

Wakefield (Thornes Park) 39.5C

Buntingford No 2 39.2C

Cawood 39.1C

Denver Complex (Norfolk), Wallington (Northumberland) and Oxford Radcliffe only report monthly so there's a while to wait there.

I wondered if Cawood was still operational. To be honest thought that would be higher than Bramham and Wakefield as it's in that prime sea level location near Selby right in the southern Vale of York However never heard of it ever topping any top temp charts so perhaps it's in a local cool spot/ too close to the River Ooze.

Does anyone know what the CET was for yesterday? It must've smashed the record.

Currently living at roughly 65m asl North of Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Really humid today especially this evening.

Currently shy of 21C with a dew point a little over 18C so a relative humidity of around 86% 🥵 which is being made worse with no wind, and an indoor temperature much higher!

Amazing to think that prior to 1990 we hadn't even hit 37C.

It was just incredible and such a jump.

E.g
Coningsby beat it's previously warmest temperature by 5.5c.
Officially, the temperature (37.4) at Bingley at 262m on a windswept Pennine Moor (not a warm place at all normally!) was higher than anywhere else in the UK had experienced until 2003.
