Well Hurn's climbed to 30C under mostly cloudy skies, now the sun is out it is hot, still could sneak a 32-33C here. Also got a DP of nearly 21C.

Heathrow is now at 30c. With the cloud breaking up and a sunny rest of the afternoon I reckon we’ll prob peak at 32c or 33c in London. 

You lot are welcome to it. A nice cool 23°C here.

No real heatwave here. Just pleasantly warm and sunny.   Currently 23°C with 57% humidity according to my phone with a nice gentle breeze. Similar temp to yesterday but with less humidity and a lot more sunshine. 

 

A little wispy cloud starting to appear now but by no means spoiling things. I much prefer this to 30°C heat. The south east can keep it.

Perfect weather IMO. How anyone enjoys mid 30’s and low 20’s at night in this country baffles me. But each to their own

I love the heat but I must admit in this country beyond a few days it can become unbearable indoors. Our homes are not built for mid 30s heat.

Just as the temp started to rocket the breeze as flipped south westerly straight from the sea, be interested to see what wind @Mapantz has now.

Just ticked up to 26 °C here in Bewdley. Not horribly humid so it's quite nice outdoors in shorts and T-shirt. A bit on the hot side inside though. And yes, I'm in the "Heathrow is welcome to the 32 °C+" club too!

My all-time is 31°C

For me it’s more of an experience thing. I like the feel of it all, even though that means the house is insanely hot. I’d much rather 2018 style heat of course (mid-high 20s) with nights cooling to the low teens.

[Earthshine]

24°C here with a dewpoint of 20°C.  Amazing how high the dewpoints have been here recently (three days in a row with 20°C+).  I think if the temperature was any higher it would be quite unpleasant indeed!

[Man With Beard]

Stuck on 32C here despite sunshine. Slight wind change. Always the problem on the coast. Lots of slightly inland stations at 34-35C but no reporting stations there.

[Sweatyman]

i must be weird. Had the best night sleep in weeks last night !

[hillbilly]

24 deg here with almost uninterrupted sunshine feeling hot,feels like a real summers day compared to yesterdays 26 deg complete cloudfest!

Very weird....

[Summer Sun]

High teens up here in the NE with plenty of sunshine. It feels a lot fresher today in the shade than yesterday with the breeze coming in from the north east.

[Mapantz]

31°C

OMG Portland is reporting 29/19C? Has it ever been that high there before?

Yes that is true. A nice 23°C in the bedrooom here with 60% humidity and window open, feels nice. About the same temp/humidity outside too.

 

No problems sleeping either. I was very comfortable last night.

Its been sunny here in Torquay all day and a few stations are reporting 30C. Even in Brixham its around 30C. Very unusual for south west coastal resorts.

[Man With Beard]

A lot of private stations in Sussex currently at 36/37/38C - they won't all be wrong - I think 35C must have been reached for real by now but no reporting stations for the Met Office.

Wasn't 42C reached by some private stations back in 2006?

31.2°C Woohoo! New record, finally.

Wind still from the Northern quadrant and it has dropped too.

Indeed. Average summer day time maximum temperature for London is almost 24’C. The South East gets a lot of warm and dry weather generally.

But, it wasn’t as warm as that for quite a number of days during July. That’s my point lol.

Are you thinking a 32 might be possible?

Yeah, it usually starts to feel uncomfortable from 29c onwards, and that seems to be the temperature when the flat goes from being comfortable, to becoming a furnace.

Hence why 24c is an average?

I think that might be a tall order. Sunshine is becoming limited again now. 

Next stop - Thunderstorms! Need my 3 year drought to end.
