Not quite 30C, but close to it! I wonder when we'll actually see 30C

Well close-ish at least.
London was predicted to be 30C today, if it had been it would have
been the first 30C recorded this country in May since 2005.
The record I believe is 32C. So unusual though not 'exceptional' conditions.

I agree, though the Camden square record date record is tagged as
"suspect" in Torro. 31.1 in Kesington is more likely to be correct for
the 24th's record (1922).
