Kirsty McCabe (R4, 1255) suggested that today's highest
temperature may well occur in the West Midlands or Worcestershire. The
evidence so far suggests otherwise because the highest temperatures at
12Z are in the south-east and south. Highest of all is Gatwick, at
35°C. So I wonder if the Met Office/BBC still have some residual
feeling that Barbourne (in Worcester) is the Hottest Place On Earth.
We all now know that it isn't.

BBC News 24 has just mentioned an "unconfirmed" report of a maximum
temperature of 37 degrees C in.... wait for it.... Worcester!
