Seeing reports of 36 at Jersey airport for today - breaking their July record, others to follow no doubt... Never considered Jersey as an option for hottest UK location!

Would it be included for this competition?

Note to Paul and contestants, if you use the quoted version of the table of entries, I have since changed two entries slightly after doing a quality control scan. 

A Winter's Tale was shown at 36.7 but should be 36.8 (changed in my table, not in the quote).

Less serious, I had "London" down as date for second last entry of spurskevin, should have read Thursday. 

Some serious heat showing up in west-central France, 42.1 appears to be the national maximum there northeast of Bordeaux which also broke 41 C. Some 41+ readings as far north as Loire valley today. 

The only thing that seems to loom as prevention of 38+ readings in UK would be cloud cover left over from thunderstorms, otherwise despite what I entered on, looks good for the 38-40 crowd. I think 40+ is perhaps a bridge too far at least with the readings we will hear about in the immediate aftermath, possibly one will trickle in much later.

No, they wouldn't be included for this

Yesterday's official top temp was Northolt at 33.7c. That makes the current leader @hillbilly - enjoy it while it lasts though!

For what it's worth, I reckon we might just edge past the 39 mark tomorrow. May as well throw across 39.2*C and see what happens.

Today, actually more uncertain due to the fine balance tied to the precise wind direction, so how about an optimistic 36.7*C somewhere in East Anglia, prompting discussion on whether that's a 'truer' record than the Heathrow one from 2015 .

I know this is invalid for the competition - just having a bit of my own fun .

My guess isn’t on the list.

Edit: Oh it is, but I put 38.1’C when I meant 39.1’C ?‍♂️

I'm late to the party and know it's too late to enter now but been saying since monday I think the high will be 39.2oC at Northolt.

What am I hoping for? Well 40oC or above would really be exciting albeit also extremely scary, uncomfortable and worrying.

So a 38.1c allegedly recorded at Cambridge today as top temp....let’s see.  The record isn’t and won’t get broken....and we had the ripest conditions....interesting

Not all stations have reported in yet, Brogdale in 2003 wasn't announced until 7 weeks later as the Met Office wanted to investigate the station after receiving its monthly report. They probably shouldn't have approved it IMO, in view of the nearby 15 foot Leylandii hedge!

So it was 38.1 for 7 weeks in 2003 - but even that was at a very arguably dodgy station (Gravesend-Broadness) so by rights, if Cambridge is a good site or another good site later matches or beats it, they should have the record anyway IMO. Fodder for discussion in the unrepresentative sites thread, perhaps.
