Maximum temperature of exactly 30.0ºC in Wishaw today, the first time since
1995 we've reached the big three-O here and the site record for July.
The temperature had passed 25ºC by 9am, quite incredible - and this on a day
of broken cloud, rather than wall to wall sunshine.
It's only the fourth time I've recorded 30.0ºC here since I began keeping
records in 1993. (The other three occasions were twice in June 95 and once
in Aug 1995). And going back through other local records, it's probably the
warmest July day in North Lanarkshire since 1983.
The dew point was also above 20ºC for a short time late morning, this is
also a site record.
Phew!
Alex.
