Just now, Yarmy said:

Burning hot, but low humidity so not that uncomfortable indoors. There's a fairly stiff south-easterly breeze too. Fingers crossed for some pyrotechnics later, but I suspect I'm a little too east.

Plenty of  humidity in North Kent, sweating buckets!

[Mr Brown]

Hair dryer wind here in 95F London. 

[Stargazer]

35.6 at Reading University at 2.00, still rising. I'd say there's a fair chance of the official local record of 36.4 (and unofficially 36.6 in our garden) being broken today. Although there is some altocumulus starting to appear on the horizon now, which might turn out to be a spoiler.

Hot, dry wind blowing strongly here in N London.

This mini plume has performed much better than forecast.  No cloud or rain here yet.

Just thought that walking back fro the shops just now - the wind is like a hair dryer though. 
 

the wind has really picked up here - wonder if that’s the sign of an approaching front

[Portsmouth Sun]

The lack of any humidity makes it feel great today, gentle breeze and 30c in north Portsmouth.  Yet again the TV weather forecasts predicted much lower temperatures for coastal areas, when will they ever learn?

[Neilsouth]

Humidity is higher in North Kent, so it doesn't feel so great  here

[Mark wheeler]

37c Heathrow and Northolt now .

[Neilsouth]

WOW!

[jamesgold]

Heathrow at 37.8 I’ve just seen

[Djdazzle]

37.8 at Heathrow.

[Mark wheeler]

Where are you seeing 37.8 guys ?

[Djdazzle]

Met Office tweeted it. 37.8 Heathrow and 37.3 Kew Gardens.

[Stroudley]

29.6 the max so far and on the way down now. Cloud building in from the south, over the sea.

[Robbie Garrett]

I wonder how much the wind would have prevented hottest day ever? Surely a fair bit.

[Bogman]

No idea what the temp is here, but extremely moist here in Potters Bar, which the Cold Heineken only slightly tempered.

[SMU]

Thats the magical 100F

[Mizzle]

Managed an unofficial 36.7 imby today.

[Mark wheeler]

Here is that tweet .

 

[Uxbridge90]

Boy oh boy it's hot, only a few miles away from Heathrow. Fortunately no storms on the horizon either! Wind has picked up though.

[SMU]

Just heading over West Kingsdown spotting a few towers going up to the South...

[Stargazer]

The high cloud is rolling in now here in Reading and the temperature has now fallen to around 34C. I guess the cloud will reach Heathrow soon, so I expect the temperature to start dropping there too. Peaked at 35.6 at Reading University and 35.8 in our garden, where it was the second hottest day on record after 25 July 2019.

[sunnijim]

37c now in Hither Green SE London

 

Incredible stuff.

[anything-but]

Local station hit this not long ago.

Looking out over Kent looking distinctly unstable
