[A.J]

30.6c here.....unofficial station though

[lettice]

27.2 c here

[MattTarrant]

Still 25 degrees... I feel a bad night sleep coming 

[Polar Bear]

Think we had 27 degrees around 930.. argh no sleep tonight indeed. Think we hit around 31. Now I like the warmt and sunny days but had to stay inside today. Just couldn't face it. 

[matt111]

Still 21.0°C now, easily warm enough to be sat outside. 

[MP-R]

Just realised we brushed 30C here this afternoon. It seemed to hover in the high 29s for ages and must have snuck above when I was busy doing something else. 30.2C the high today and a beautiful evening to follow.

[Andy Bown]

I'd say today has the potential to be the hottest day since 1st July 2015. We had 33.1c in July last year but it is already 24.2c before 09.00 with 7 odd hours until the hottest part of the day.

Agreed - Heathrow was already at 25C at 0800 and widely the temperatures are 23C and above at 0800.

I reckon somewhere in our region will break the 90F mark.

28°C at 11am here. While that doesn't seem that impressive as a whole, it is for this location, being so close to the coast. We're being protected from sea breezes during this spell of weather. I wonder if I can break my 30.5°C record from last year?!

How hot did you get on 1st July 2015, Andy? It was rather unimpressive here with a lot of high cloud around.

Indeed we got 33C here too last year on July 19th but with a blowier southeast wind.

[Stargazer]

We've already topped 28C here in Reading and reached close to 31 yesterday, so 32 looks quite likely. On 1 July 2015 we were at 31 by 11am and eventually reached 34.1 - would no doubt have hit 35+ if high cloud hadn't rolled in late morning that day.

[matt111]

Got up to 28.1°C not long ago but the sea breeze has picked up now so the temperatures dropped to 25.9°C. 

[Mapantz]

29.5°C ... C'mon!! Move up!

[Frosty hollows]

28.6 C here so could easily top yesterday's 29.1! I can bear the daytime heat if only the nights were cooler. Still I can't complain. My daughter sent me a picture of her car dashboard yesterday and the temperature was 48C !!!!! Now that's hot. Still if you go and live in a desert what do you expect?

[A.J]

31.1C here currently....scorching!

[MP-R]

Nigh on 30C again but a bit of hazy high cloud has developed so the temperature has plateaued. Sun also feeling weaker than yesterday.

[Daniel*]

 Sizzling West Country...

 

[Mapantz]

29.8°C on the Davis. 29.7°C on the Netatmo.

30°C reached on the Davis.

Suggest you throw the Davis out (just let me know when so I can drop by before the dustmen)...it must be faulty...as we have chased you all the way, and peaked @29.2°C at: 12:45..

[MattTarrant]

Got to 30.1 so far according to my Netatmo Weather Station

[ThundersnowDays]

30.C! Hottest day of the year so far

[matt111]

Still hovering around 26°C here although it feels a fair bit warmer than that. Just been for a walk and when out of the breeze it really felt hot. Also noticed how dry the grass is turning already. 

[Frosty hollows]

Hit 30 here now. Humidity is less than yesterday so not feeling too uncomfortable.  That said not looking forward to going to the (non air conditioned) gym later
