A minimum of 21.1c here in Warden Bay, North Kent.
When I went to bed last night at around midnight it was 24.3c
The rain, what there was of it lasted for all of about 20 minutes. The
garden is now bone dry again.

Driving back from Crowthorne to Essex (M25 S.Side) between 22.30
and 23.30
car thermometer was showing 25-27C esp high around Redhill.
Thought this
unlikely but showed 24C at home which calibrated well with 23.6C
on usually
accurate Oregon. Prompted me to think what is the highest temp
recorded as a
UK minimum?

23.9ºC at Brighton on 4th August 1990. (Last year's highest
was 23.7ºC at Guernsey airport on 5th August 2003, but of
course that is not the United Kingdom).

Helen Willets said at 09:27 on news24 "It's been a record breaking night,
very warm indeed". She then went straight into the forecast without giving
any information on what records were broken.
