Usually in much warmer (or colder) than average conditions, this NG is
flooded with posts.

A max of 29.5C here.
That's my second highest reading of all time (records started Sept 2000)
and only bettered by the 31.3C recorded on 9th August 2003.

Had there been less cloud build up this afternoon, which looked pretty
threatening at times 30C would probably have been achieved.

Same here in Shrewsbury.

Until 1300BST there was not a cloud to be seen, and I thought we'd get
a 30C. From 1300-1500 a few cumulus developed, yet the sun was still
keeping us warm.
At 1600 it suddenly (and I mean suddenly) clouded over to 7/8ths cloud
cover, which looked black and threatening. I thought we were in for a
thunderstorm, but no. Just annoying cloud from nowhere which spoilt the
late afternoon. Where did this appear from? (MO radar showed similar
cloud development in a line from Cumbria down to just south of here)
Wasn't a front AFAIK, no precip, or TS.
1900 sun came out again. All in all a lovely day, except for those 3
hours of unforecast cloudy weather.
