Just beat 1976 though (although that was 17.0 on the old HadCET database. The duration of the warmth was remarkable I think. Locally, only 5 days failed to reach maxima of 22C and these were all in the 19s. There were 16 days of 25 or more and from 8th to 29th no day was colder than 23.7C. However, the highest was 29.0 which of course doesn't get near 1976.

My mean max = 24.9, ranking not far off of of the best Julys and Augusts I've had. Mean min =13.4 (not far off 1976).

5th warmest June on record. I think that's damned good. I was 2C out so I've lost some serious points here though.

In fact the top 3 Junes for warmth are all pre 1900 whereas the top 3 July and Augusts are all post 1975 😲

Looking further down the table, very warm Junes are mostly a feature of the 19th and 18th centuries with only 7 Junes since 1900 featuring in the top 20 warmest.

This is just the synoptic charts for each day as it is about as far back as you can go for detailed info but you can see why is was such a scorcher. Other than the last week when the Atlantic broke through (much like 2023) the rest of the month had high pressure over ot just to the east of the UK and not so far north as this year bringing in more of a SE-S rather than NE-SE flow. There was a short period where an "Azores Ridge" type westerly came in but not for long

Bearing in mind that the Global temperature is about 1.5-2C warmer in the UK than in 1846, this 18.2 would be about 20C in "todays money" and even so the final week of 1846 was distinctly average
