Heatwave *arrives*?

As far as I'm concerned it's been here for the last 6 days (with one
day's break) already!



UK max. temps on Monday *http://tinyurl.com/lhpwcb

Donna Nook 14.8°C, *Inverbervie 16.3°C, *Leuchars 16.6°C, *Weybourne 16.8°C.

Church Lawford and Brize Norton 28.5°C, *Filton 28.6°C, *Pershore 28.8°C,
Benson 29.1°C, *Farnborough 29.2°C, *Northolt 29.5°C, *Charlwood 30.4°C,
London MO 30.7°C, *Heathrow 30.8°C.

As often happens, heat-trap Cheltenham seems to be the hottest place
outside the SE : 29.4C here.

Does 30-31 C at the end of June represent a "heatwave" ?
