He he 19.3C max. in Haytor (admittedly in cloud), warmest this spell has
been 23.7C in screen. Never had 30C yet since moving here in April 2002. If
we ever do (and I hope not), it will be bloomin hot elsewhere in UK for
sure!

Highest temperature I've recorded in Penzance was 29.7C on 17th July
2006, which very close to the all time high. There have been 3 nights
with a minimum 19C, the warmest 19.6C on 05/08/03. (Records start
1991) I seem to remember it never dropped below 22C at Newquay that
night.

Driest June here since 1996.
