Apologies for not being exactly topical, but... Col posted this back in
early November:

"Absolute `highs' for each British County were published in Weather, 48,
282-291. A remarkable British `heat-wave' occurred on 6th August 1910 when
28 C
was registered in the Shetland Isles, while nowhere elsewhere in Britain
exceeded 20 C. The extraordinary weather situation responsible is described
in
Journal of Meteorology, 9(91), 211-213."

Does anyone know where a copy of this article or the journal can be
purchased or borrowed?

Dave Wheeler, in a follow up post reported experiencing foehn winds from
Norway in Fair Isle.
