A high of 31c here and sunny although high cloud is slowly increasing from the NW.

A high of exactly 31C here too, handily beating last year - which failed to get to 30C, amazingly.

Way to go. I think there will be a 33+ somewhere. I think I've maxed here at  32.3C. Very hazy and very windy produced that !

Norwich Airport managed 33C at 15:50Z

Santon Downham 32.7c seems to be the top so far

Some twerp at Met Office said it was going to such a hot day that it was clear indicator of climate calamity or whatever they are calling it this week. 
A hot day in second half of June, in selected southern UHI locations. 
He should have looked up 1976 before spouting such tollocks.

Indeed I'm disgusted that my taxes go towards paying the wages of that contemptible moron and am utterly pig sick of temperatures in the SE being used as evidence that the UK is experiencing more extreme/intense heatwaves when for many parts that is simply not true.

Reached 32C in Scotland in June 1893. Would be hard to imagine the temperature getting that high these days.

The frequency of very high summer temperatures here has reduced drastically in recent years. Just look at the years that Aberdeen (Dyce) reached 26C in June.

1950 (28.9)
1959 (27.8)
1960 (26.1)
1975 (26.2)
1976 (26.5)
1989 (26.6)
1994 (26.1)
1995 (26.7)
2004 (26.1)
2019 (26.1)

Just once in the past 18 years compared to an average of once every 7 years between 1946 and 2004 and it's been over 60 years since 27C was reached despite it being reached twice during the cool 1950s. 28.9C was also reached at nearby Craibstone during an amazing heatwave in early June 1939 which also saw 31C reached in Glasgow. If only we could get weather events like that these days.

Don't expect anyone from the Met Office to quote stats like this that go against their biased agenda. They would rather the public don't get the full picture.

As for today, I recorded 23.2C here which isn't in any way notable for the month of June as evidenced above.

Memories are (conveniently) short on TWO it seems.

While we in the South East spent last summer beset by rain and cloud, Scotland and Northern Ireland were getting the summer we missed.

In fact memories are even shorter than that. The start of June was beautifully sunny, and pretty warm, in large parts of Scotland.

Last data for today won't be in until around 10am tomorrow. England's high remains 32.7c,

Jersey broke its June record with 33.2c, it was also the 15th hottest day ever recorded with records dating back to 1894

32.5c maximum currently around 30c lovely day 👍

https://cm2weather.co.uk/gauges

Exactly the same here, down the road, in the end. 32.5C. Out of interest  what time was your maximum?

---

Well we reached 21 C before lunch but we had a gloomy rainy afternoon

I said last week that the heat wouldn't reach this far north

We are on the cool clear side of the front now

 Yes indeed Exact date Scotland's 'Highland Heat Dome' to end as summer 2021 one of hottest on record - Daily Record

 I have family up near Strath Oykel in the Highlands and they think they get more Hot ,25c plus days than they used to.

The Met Office "last 24 hours" page says that Astwood Bank (Worcestershire) got down to -1.5C yesterday. Surely that has to be an error! https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/observation/map/#?map=WeatherCode&zoom=5&lon=-4.00&lat=55.01&fcTime=1655492400

Edit: As far as I can tell the true lowest was Exeter Airport with 8.4C.

I cringed at the news on BBC1 yesterday when they reported the maximum temperature of 33C was twice as warm as Scotland which had 16-17C

 

---

Santon Downham turned out to be Friday's hot spot at 32.7c. So slightly below the 33c and 34c forecast by the Met office then, but still plenty hot enough. I wonder if this will be beaten in July or August? I'd put the odds at about 60-40 in favour, probably somewhere in the S.E. with it's new found Mediterranean summer climate.

Here in Edinburgh, the maximum temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank during yesterday was actually 19.6°C so unless we are talking about the average maximum temperature across Scotland as a whole here, it is not quite correct to say that Scotland only had around 16/17°C.

In the end, yesterday wasn't actually as cool here as it had been forecast to be although it was still a lot cooler than those much higher temperatures which were recorded much further south.

It’s odd that someone reporting weather, actually thinks temperatures start at 0c.

Those predictions of a 24 hour drop of 15C from 35 to 20 are now out of the window. Here, in what was a hot spot of 32.5C yesterday it was 25C at 10.00 am but has now dropped back to 23.6C so much more of a steady cooling to Sunday than first forecast.

Same down at the vineyard. Minimum a pleasant 14 overnight but up up 24C before falling to 20 later today.

It's currently 14.1c here - this time yesterday it was ~31.1c

My time-lapse for yesterday. The morning began very warm, before the sea breeze kicks in just after midday, wrecking the afternoon. The front then arrived in the evening to finish it off:
