If they round to the nearest odd number, why is Cambridge reporting 38?
Could Cambridge airport be used as an official station for a record breaking temperature?

We don't know if its rounded up or down so let's say 38.4C
awww i'm going to be mashing F5 soon then to see if we have a 39 at Cambridge
Doubt it though

Garden is now up to 39 - by no means official but highest it's been all day so potential for more warming and the record going

Do you think 15:00 will be peak temps....or do we have until around 16:00?
I am by no means an expert but I think we can keep hoping for another hour - after 16:00 not likely

Just had two bits of high cirrus cloud play with the sun and there is one more bit to do the same in about 5 mins or so.... but I’m still sitting at 37.9c! Surely Cambs has done or equalled the record?
Just need an official station in the right place now...

Bishop Stortford way seems to be another area that has a shot .....West London still possible.........I thought the cloud over ST neots and further SE had gutted southern cambridgeshire chances but might well be proved wrong!
Sun is back out in force now, my PWS is back up to 37 from 35 when we had the rain

What’s the latest temperature in Cambridge ?
The airport is 37 according to the METAR but should update in 5-10mins

Just forgot to update my place!...yes in St Neots for a wee while
Tom...where are you getting 37C...I have to be honest and say I think my readings are being affected by being in more urban part due to apartments and car parks.......wouldnt shock me lower temps with a bit of greeneryI am in Eaton Socon near the water tower. Mind you I'm back down to 36 now (plus my weather station has issues with the humidity sensor)

My PWS is down to 36

fingers crossed somewhere further east breaks the record
-
37 degrees and light rain in St Neots - feels very tropical
Sky looks a bit clearer to the SW too

big bank of cloud formed over Bedford....due to Sun position/incidence ... has shaded St Neots - record unlikely to go if cloud intensifies ....however....
I think we need to look towards the triangle.......Cambridge - Cambourne/Papworth Everard/Huntingdon - record might be possible there (maybe south of Cambridge but there is light cloud a good 20 miles away SSE of St Neots which may affect places like Saffon Walden/Haverill / Royston/Baldock/ etc........ sky is still very clear about a mile east of St Neots .... east of Cambridge might be good too ... but cools the closer to the East Anglian coast
The cloud is very slow moving but still registering 38 in my garden
I'm keeping an eye on Cambridge airport METAR as it could be the one to break the record (I guess its an official site?)

You take your cat to work? I blame the heat for everything
No its my home office - only a portable one but still 40kg so have got to carry it up to the bedroom later which will not be fun in this heat.
Garden weather station is reporting 38 which is the highest I've ever known it. It always over reads a bit in sunny weather so I'm hopeful it'll nudge 40

Keep calm would be my advice, excitement and that heat are not a good mix.
Me and the cat are nice and cool in an air conditioned office need to get some work done at some point...

That would be my logic too, but the 15:50 METAR is still 38 so I don't think Cambridge is going to beat the record sadly
