29.5 °C here! Come on, weather gods, just let me have that extra half a degree and then you can do what you want!

[Costa Del Fal]

Yeah still climbing here. Almost 30c now. Can really feel how humid it is just by sitting down and doing nothing!

A positively chilly 27.6°C here now, and spitting with rain.

Gah, made it to 29.9 °C, but then fell back by almost a degree in 10 minutes. That really is annoying! Still hoping, though...

Well we should have been watching the thermometers, and watching the lightning detectors, instead everyone is watching the satellite for breaks in this goddamn muck. Why is it here? An active trough in humid air should have cells, squalls, heavy showers, hot air masses should be clear. Instead all we've got is this grey crud everywhere.

[Arctic Hare]

Done it! Hazy sunshine here now, and that's proved enough. 30.5 °C as I type. This brighter patch should be on its way north now, so good luck to anyone else still waiting for the big 3-0.

Temp reached 30 c here at 10:15 and then the cloud rolled in, now 30.4 c and 8 mph s.e. breeze.

[Bishop Brennan]

Good to see reports of 30°C now being reached elsewhere in the region. 

 

It does indeed seem to be brightening up a bit now.

[Costa Del Fal]

Yep over 30c now. 32c anyone?

[fazer76]

Humidity up a peg. Ideally some more roasting sunshine a 32C then a lively electrical storm into this evening. Four days off so not bad timing. Don't envy anyone stuck in a jam today! Unless there's some aircon.

Some rumbles of thunder and a shower in Nottingham.

[Summer of 95]

Completely overcast, no sign of any activity within 50 miles. Sun seems to have given up attempting to burn this rubbish off. Good old Shropshire, you can always be relied upon to produce boring nothingness when everywhere else is either 30C+ or being thundered on.

[Costa Del Fal]

Quite a bit of clear sky seems to be

Moving up from the south coast now.

Hopefully that will push the cap and trigger some big storms, that could actually be very good news. 

[Costa Del Fal]

Almost 31c now.

[Laurie61]

A bit of weak sunshine and the temp has moved up, 31.1 c wind has dropped.

Just got back from the blissfully cool Touchwood shopping centre in Solihull to find the temperature has *finally* reached 30°C here, yaaaaaaaay!

Surprised by the amount of storms mentioned on the lunchtime BBC news. 

 

Mentioned tonight's storms. A batch of 'sporadic' thunderstorms for Central/Eastern England tommorrow, a bright start friday before a band of Thunderstorms moves in from the SW...then the chap highlighted the chance for another outbreak of storms on Sunday... that's what we like to hear!

[Polar Maritime]

Some big rumbles now here. Temp 28c

[Summer of 95]

More attempts at hazy sun, but still no blue sky in sight. Those clearances to the south just seem to be filling with more crud before they get here.

Its hot as soon as you go out, it would so easily breach 30 if the sun would come out for a couple of hours. Not too much to ask is it????

[WillinGlossop]

Thunder heard lightening getting closer..... 30c very humid....

[Terminal Moraine]

Thunder heard to the east and west of me in the last 40 minutes but no more than a few spots of rain fell. No lightning seen either.

The sun is out again now.

[DeeKay]

Temperature reached 32.6 in the shade in Aldridge Walsall, hoping for storms later on.

[Costa Del Fal]

32c!!

[Snowshine]

Nothing much except 33C temperatures here... was hopeful of some severe isolated storms, but looks as if the far North will get most.
