The highest ever June temperature (and again for London) was 35.5C and
occurred on the 29th June 1957.

The exact details of where in London these temperatures were recorded is not
stated.

The highest temperature recorded in June in the UK is, I'm fairly
sure, 35.6 deg C on 28 June 1976 at Mayflower Park Southampton -
although it's possible the record is shared. I remember it well as I
lived and worked only 10 miles down the road at that time and I
recorded 35 to 36 degrees C on each of those afternoons, using two
office thermometers well shaded on the North Wall at the back of my
workplace. And the day aftter the record was set, it was my birthday!

I'm even more certain that the sequence of 35.5 deg C and 35.6 deg on
27 and 28 June 1976 (at the Southampton site) is a UK record for two
successive days in June.

I wonder what the record for two successive days in *any* month is -
based on a) lowest of the two days' maxima or b) the mean of the two
days' maxima?
