I'm not too fussed that we are getting excited about the 30c mark being surpassed. It's nice to have these sort of temperatures once a year maybe, but if it goes on all summer like 2006 it does start to get ridiculous. It didnt reach 30c where I lived I don't think, however it did get to 29.2c in Gravesend today, I tend to use Gravesend values for my area because there is no proper data for Maidstone. I'm sure 30c must have briefly being broken in central London surely?
