Just forgot to update my place!...yes in St Neots for a wee while

Tom...where are you getting 37C...I have to be honest and say I think my readings are being affected by being in more urban part due to apartments and car parks.......wouldnt shock me lower temps with a bit of greenery

Fair enough, good to 'meet' a fellow St Neotan! I'm in Loves Farm next to fields so should have a lack of urban effect.

It has reached 38.5C Shirley, Croydon  

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Did/Do you have cloud? It’s clouding over slightly here in Catford. 

[Lewis1997]

It’s just gone a bit hazy but temps are still climbing here! 37.9c!!! All eyes on Cavendish for this I think. 

[10 Days Away]

That storm north of Rouen is starting to get a bit more active as it drifts north, Current trajectory Brighton/Eastbourne

Now raining and back to 36.7c just like that,  what a weird day!!

Wow, I'm in Cambridge city centre and no signs of rain here at all.  Would love to know if Cambridge has broken the record somewhere maybe?!

[kold weather]

Cloud cover likely holding back temps in the hottest parts of London now, but behind that the cloud does decrease again, and indeed my temperatures increased again. Likely going to have another shot at the all time record for the W.London area between 3-4pm I suspect, probably the last shot.

[Bryn Webster]

Sun is back out! .... Clouds broke up further east and gaps appeared above st neots (I know I know..satellite is better but this is more fun  )
.... somewhere east still has a chance

[Longbow]

Now raining hard, temp max has been 36.9 in my bit of Croydon (Addiscombe)

[Snow Dayz]

Temp topped out in West Wickham at 36.2c at about 1:30 clouding over with spots of rain now temp down to 34.2

[Lewis1997]

Edged down to 37.6c as some high cloud passed through the sun’s rays for about 3 or so mins... plus repositioning of my weather station to keep it out of the sun this afternoon.

Temp rocketing up again, back to 37.4 from 36.7 in 10mins, could be back in the game again, this is a crazy day, crazy week what with the smashing storms, this is more like it!!

[James1979]

37.9c...

[Bryn Webster]

Unofficially Madingley  just West of Camridge has hit 103F / 39.4C

- stations throughout area have hit 100F/37.8C

Clear skies here too.... temperature’s rising again... wonder who’s going to get that raincloud? 

[clark3r]

Rubbish here been cloudy 26 for the last hour 

[nick sussex]

Shame the cloud couldn’t have held back for just an extra two hours .

Theres big clump moving through London ,to the west a clearance likely to last around an hour .

Places like Lakenheath east of Cambridge might keep the sunshine for a few more hours . Last report there had 36c.

Cambridge is 37C as of 14.20. If the sun can hold out until 4pm the record is broken imo.
