Yep exactly in the location I posted last night with the highest Thickness *

5 miles N of Diss it has already reached 31.4 at RAF Tibenham.

[stainesbloke]

A very steamy 28C here, no clouds now.

If, as someone said earlier, you filter on the WOW site for just official Met Office stations, you realise how fewthere are.  For example, there are only 2 in th whole of Norfolk, which, for those who are not aware, is a large county - one at Weybourne which is probably no more than 1 1/2 miles at ost from the sea, and one at RAF Marhsm which is in the far west of the county.  All the other sites are schools which are in the scheme and approved amateur stations.

So 30.7 degrees in Ashford (as per Kennington WOW station) makes sense as it's always a few degrees above Lydd (apart from winter when the nearby sea keeps Lydd a lot warmer haha). Still not a single cloud in the sky

Now 33.4C at the WOW station in Willesborough, Ashford.

[Katrine Basso]

My garden thermometer says that the temperature in the shade is nudging towards 28 °C .

[Norfolk Sheep]

Just nudged 30c here (thermometer in permanent deep shade and well off the ground)

Long time lurker, first time posting here. 

What are the chances for a thunder storm or two here in London? Most of them seem to be going off further east/north.

A chilly 30.2 here at 11!

[DAVID SNOW]

Long way to go but the temp increase is slowing atm.

[danm]

I work in Covent Garden in central London and it is eerily quiet today. I think the heat from yesterday and all the talk of 37c is making people stay indoors.

I think some of them temps are wrong.. 

Here is the temperatures across the region at 11:33am 

This is live from station data

Looking back at yesterday, Heathrow had already hit 31.8c at midday.

Those were maxima from 10-11 a.m., and I'm not sure which weather station they're using for the Norwich area as the Met Office don't have one here now, as I said earlier.

[tomp456]

Comical from Wx Underground. It is certainly not 32C outside

Just as comical is their forecast for tonight. - storms!

These are the only ones I can find.. 

Which still suggests some temps are to high people are seeing 

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

UEA station slightly lower than earlier at 30.7C and 48% RH.

Norwich Weather Centre appears to be part of a private company called "weatherhq".  It certainly isn't a Met Office station as I'm a local and recall when they closed it!

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

According to the calculator at https://www.weather.gov/epz/wxcalc_rh the wet bulb temperature at the UEA weather station is currenty 22.3C.

In London itself? Depends which bit, but I would think anywhere south and/or west of the ‘Greater’ bit isn’t going to see much in the way of rain.

University of Cambridge  temp @12:01 - 29.6C

Sunshine with a fine haze to the blue sky

Cambridge was pretty cool this morning after an intense thunderstorm - so its caught up a lot and rising
