Heathrow 25.6°C, Solent MRSC 26.9°C.

Damn - they spoiled my hat-trick : 26.1C yesterday.

I must confession to a degree of scepticism about your readings, Paul,
so often do they seem to be the highest in the country. Are you
confident of the accuracy of your thermometer, the quality of the
screen, and that the screen is not in an exceptionally sheltered
location?

In the latter case, a bit like Solent MRSC in fact

Seriously though, it's been fabulous weather down here and we could be
on for a double if the 3pm BST temperatures are anything to go by (Met
Office site):

Solent 26.3*°C E* 9*mph
Hurn 26.1*°C E* 10*mph
Strathallan 25.9*°C ESE* 5*mph
Castlederg 25.4*°C ESE* 8*mph
Glasgow Bish 25.3*°C WNW* 6*mph
Carlisle 25.2*°C *N/A
Northolt 25.1*°C NE* 16*mph
Edinburgh Gog 25.0*°C NE* 2*mph
Hawarden 24.9*°C E* 5*mph
Keswick 24.9*°C NW* 2*mph
Ballykelly 24.8*°C SE* 6*mph
Heathrow 24.8*°C NE* 10*mph
Thorney Island 24.8*°C E* 10*mph

My own readings (screen is shaded by a North Wall) are running about 1
deg C behind Solent MRSC, closer than usual as there's a reasonable
breeze. Max so far here is 25.8 deg C.
