30degC here in Bardney at 14.15hrs.

Quite a strange day here. The temperature peaked at 26°C around 13:00, before slowly dropping off as the cooler air mass moved in. Now it's 19°C with cloud and a strong breeze... you'd be wondering what all the fuss was about.

No looks like the much trumpetted UKV and Agreppe models people kept posting showing 35/36c were quite a bit wide of the mark, whilst the GFS was spot on with its 32c in London.

31.1c here at 16.10...fairly breezy

---

Just over 23°C here currently. Very nice.

Also spot on with Birmingham 30C which it did so take that and hope this is a starter course so next heatwave to see low to mid 30's.  Don't want today the last day of heat until September.  if they were touting for 35-36C and here 33-34C then only way to get that is Scotland and the north to join the 30's club.

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 !

---

It's pleasant at 24C with a brisk SW breeze. Yesterday was warmer at about 27C but it's unbroken sunshine today.

---

32.4 at 14:00 at Kew Gardens here and a very gusty breeze to go with it (quite pleasant)

 

---

Mercifully I seem to have avoided the worst of the heat with a peak of 24.1 C at 3.40 pm, a decent sea breeze and the fairly low humidity (mid-60%) were effective as nature's own air conditioning. Have sat outside on garden chair all afternoon in relative comfort but my famed west-facing hobby room is starting to heat up now with the afternoon sun shining into it, even with pretty much all windows around the house and front door wide open.

33.4c in my back garden now

Nobody was trumpeting 40C (for the UK)! Some models have been showing 40C in France today and tomorrow(it exceeded 40C in SE France today in fact).

 

Highest official max I have seen has been 32.7C at Santon Downham.

---

24.7C briefly, below 20C now.
Today has been pretty windy and never felt what I'd call hot.

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.

A pretty unsensational and well balanced piece of reporting I'd Say Four.

I believe he even brought up 1976 for you🤣

Excerpt below taken from the Met office article linked by Four above.

"Reaching 34C during June is a rare, but not unprecedented, event in the historical climate records for the UK.

"But if it should happen this week it would be notable that it would have occurred on three days during the last six Junes."

He added the other days were 21 June 2017 and 29 June 2019.

Before that the only previous Junes when England saw a number of stations reach 34C or higher were 3 June 1947, 29 June 1957, and 26-28 June 1976."

I'd follow your own advice. 

On topic a late surge in temps, most likely aided by blowtorch Global Warming, or cloud/haze clearing allowed  the temperature to peak @ 30.1C around 16:30.

But, like, London and the SE are the centre of the universe... 

Half the country can be blanketed under a foot of snow and it'll get barely a mention. An inch falls in London, and reporters are running round screaming for the army to be mobilised.

Bear in mind that 1976 heat arrived later in the month and was a very different set up. It was a truly exceptional spell as well that went on for 3 weeks or so.

Probably more of an issue is not what is happening here but over France and Spain.

Because our weather is so fluid it is difficult to compare these things objectively.

Irrespective of whether you believe AGW or not, the agenda means that all weather events seem to be tied to CC

Yes, indeed. Of course you now got the wind of the Irish Sea.

It's 29 C in Sheffield, with quite a stiff W wind. Mostly clear skies with occasional Cu hum and Cu med clouds, plus Ci and Cs clouds to the N.
