What makes the heat so unusual is the gusty winds outside combined with temps currently at 39.5C. Feels like being hit by a blowtorch. These temps are the hottest I have ever experienced and unlikely to be reached again in my lifetime.
I still think it’s insane it’s happening in my native country. I live in Aus now and I’ve experienced 48.9oC here, when it’s hot here (say 35+) it tends to be dry, gusty winds from inland Australia so I’m use to hot winds now but never thought it would happen in UK!!

If it was going to be cold and cloudy, probably. But for a lot of people it will still be in the high 20s.
As a pom in Sydney, you’d be surprised how cool high twenties can feel after temps of 40+

Looks like Guernsey hasn’t dropped below 27.5 and temps will likely start to increase very soon

I think that's a new Suffolk maximum.
Yes previous Suffolk record was 37.3 I believe

28c here on the outskirts of Colchester, feels hot outside but not ridiculous.
It’s 34 not far down the road in Ipswich

Well noon forecast was 33 to 35 so it’s a couple degrees too high as temps rise. I think we have reached a point where we can state that gfs is over exuberant as temps rise through the morning but gets absolute maxes pretty close come late afternoon based on the past few days.
Yes maybe a degree. It’s widely 33 and a couple of 34s at noon, so it’s about on track I think. Let’s see what the arvo brings. Watching with some jealousy from Sydney where I’ve lived for 5 years now.

It wanted it hotter at 11am BST as per my post above. However, I think it will be closer with maxes later
Couple of stations (Cambridge and London City) are at 33 at 11.30 so it’s not far off!

Absolute beast of a shower here at the moment, really coming down hard.
@pinball wizard did any of the previous snow in Ipswich thaw or has it stuck around, with these showers adding to it? Must be some amazing totals there by now - my parents measured 11inches on top of their wheelie bin, tables and chairs in garden, and that was yesterday evening!

Possibly the last measurement barring some major snowfall today (lots of sublimation going on here) not quite a foot but will go down as historic for here:
My parents have just nudged 27cm in Ipswich (they live in the NW of the town) - they asked if there would be any more, and I told them that as the winds swing more easterly, they might lose some showers to the south in Essex/Kent, but looks like lots of more showers moving in from North Sea hitting Suffolk, to add to those totals! My parents said they havent seen snow like that in Ipswich since before I was born (I'm 32).

Some more photos of my parents garden in west Ipswich, they think they have around a foot of it. Stopped snowing after about 40 hours continuous snow!! I said it before but I never saw that much snow in Ipswich in the 24 years I lived there... so I am insanely jealous!

its been snowing very stedly since 5 pm nearly had 2inches of snow and still coming down over the east side of ipswich
What’s your totals now there? Almost two solid days of snow (albeit lighter on day 2) isn’t bad going!
-
More videos from my family in Ipswich! East Suffolk and East Essex seem to have been sweet spots so far
Again, I never saw that much snow in the 23/4 years I lived there (1988 to 2012) and I suspect they have more to come!

This is my parents garden in Ipswich this morning, they estimate about 8inches/20cm of snow. Still snowing but only lightly, however I reckon they can expect another 5 to 10cm over next couple of days! I never saw that much snow in the 23 years I lived there with them!!

Has anyone had more than icing sugar dustings?
Lots of people in East Suffolk, East Essex and East Kent. The sweet spots have seen around 15cm already with a night of snow showers to come

My uncle in Ipswich is loving it...certainly one of the sweet spot it seems
Certainly looks like it! My family all live in Ipswich and they’ve pretty much had snow since around 8am, and doesn’t look like it will stop any time soon! I’m in Aus, they had about 8cm when I went to sleep 8 hours ago, and it hasn’t stopped snowing the whole time!!

My friends and family back in blighty (Ipswich) have about 6cm after a few hours - so if this carries on all day and night then fun times ahead. Very jealous from a hot Sydney!

The heavier band is definitely, albeit slowly, moving west. You can easily see it on long radar animations.
100% - its moving, just VERY VERY slowly. Since 8am, its probably nudged 20 miles at most, but it is moving.

Very nice.
Love this - I live in Sydney but my parents and family are in Ipswich and have been sending me photos & videos of the snow there. I still follow the snow events even from the other side of the world!

About to take over yesterdays high and its not even midday. 5 hours of warming left, providing the thunderstorms coming up from France don't interfere too much. Also another 6.1c onto that and it'll hit my very ambitious 40.1c guess at Kew gardens
If the pesky thunderstorms steer clear, somewhere could just squeeze out a 40oC

Met office reporting 34oC at Kew Gardens at 11am.

33.1c at Heathrow at 11am, which compared to 2003 is actually slightly behind. But not by much
I think it is slightly ahead, the link previously posted is UTC (1 hour behind BST) so at 10.50am in 2003 it was 31.5, so we are over a degree ahead as it stands!

This is a list of the hourly readings from Aug 10 2003. Times are in UTC so add an hour to get the BST time. We are a couple of degrees ahead of 2003 (31.6C at 0850Z compared to 29.6C in 2003)!
Great, thanks so much!!

31.6 at Heathrow at 10am. I remember temps being at around 32 at 10.30am back in August 2003. I remember checking the temps on teletext

08:30 local time in Sydney and it's already 27.5c
Do you live in Sydney now or are you on holiday? I moved to Sydney in October (lived here back in 2012) and forgot how extreme the weather gets. 49oC's in parts of Aus, overnight minimums of 34oC. 2 weekends ago, it was 36oC in Sydney at 9.45am!

Yea hot weather here in Aus is often accompanied by gusty winds so we are use to hairdryer winds (dries your clothes quickly!!). I’m coming back to visit UK next week and gutted I didn’t book a week earlier to experience this historic weather!!
