Just one look at the hourly obs would suggest there is no possibility of a 2.4C temp spike occurring within a given hourly timeframe.

I'm sorry, I don't buy it for one second.

Also, who knows, the MetOffice may yet even retract the statement after review.

It's definitely possible, if not common, with some potential reasons mentioned before. I have seen it before both on my station and official stations.

[No Balls Like Snow Balls]

Yesterday's CFS run was another stonker. Basically below average temps right through October to Feb and plenty of blocking.

If only it were to play out like this, ho hum......

[Summer Sun]

Heating up quickly in the south 

 

[summer blizzard]

Seems to be a large swathe of cloud across the east.

GFS suggesting thunder today and tomorrow before a nice 15C maxima on Friday. 

[Man With Beard]

Already seeing some 27Cs and a 28C - we're in a pretty similar position to this time yesterday. 33C again?

[Snowyowl9]

21.2c now more sun,some low cloud still about with a cooling east wind.

2011 made a mistake yesterday it wasn`t 2006... and the last day in the month when this months max of 22.1c on the 5th.

22.4c below.

The sea fret and cloud has burned away here to give another clear and sunny day. Its a completely different feel to yesterday however as we now have quite a fresh north-easterly wind. We're at 20.4C though its still rather humid with a dewpoint of 17.0C.

expecting it here tomorrow sea fret, bbc even going for it, due to clear around midday

Low cloud only burnt away in the past hour, and still only 19C as now we have some high level cloud moving up from the south so today is very much a case of 'we can't win'.. BBC's forecast of 23C doesn't look likely to be reached at this point let alone higher. I am a little disappointed. The North Sea is so useless - they should just fill it with concrete.

The local personal weather station is currently hovering at about 29c, another scorcher.

Not feeling too great today, may have utilised yesterday's warm evening in a beer garden...

currently 24.1c  here  just about perfect conditions. still people walking about in their coats

ay, agree in summer, certainly tomorrow, but disagree Dec to Mar, unlikely nowadays I know but can be snowy off E'lys in winter

[sunnijim]

The max seems to be 31c today in a few spots,perhaps we will squeeze a 32c somewhere.

(What's this?Gravesend have hit 33.8c) ;-)

[Lake District Blizzards]

Can someone explain how when the upper air temperature is 15c + , it has only managed to be 20c here

It has been sunny all day

the wind direction has been NE'ly

Maxed at 22.4c not as warm as expected but there has been more low cloud about,no records this month then besides for the one min night temp a sweltering 16.7c min during the last very warm upper air from the SW with drizzle.

[sunnijim]

BBC have called 32c as today's maximum.Norwich I think.

[Nick L]

Coming up to 6pm and it's still 27c outside and 26c in my room. Pleeeeaaaase cool down

[reef]

A closer to average 17.2C here now after a high of 20.8C. The north-easterly breeze makes such a difference. Still sunny, but wont be long before the fret moves back in, I can see it in the distance.

[Costa Del Fal]

Cracking day here. Lovely warm evening with clear blue skies.

No real haze here in Cornwall. Stunning evening. Lots of people out walking their dogs.

What a disappointment - lunchtime on a temperature display in Liverpool around  1pm:18C.  Where was all this heat we were promised?  Cloudy and chilly with thunder during the afternoon.  Hopefully we'll see something more respectable during the next couple of days.

................And things were much better today.  Just now Liverpool ATIS reported 25C with dp 18C, almost wall-to-wall cloudless skies with just a few bits of Ac every so often.  This reminds me of the very warm spell in September 1963, the first summery bit of a very mediocre summer (I'd use other terms but I may end up banned )

Like summers of the past very hazy today,hard to make out what clouds are about.
