In the recent spell, or during this summer generally, who has recorded
the most?

Just the one here : 20.2C on the night of 4th/5th. I'd only ever
recorded one previous to this year (11/8/97, 20.4C).

I've been logging the temperature at midnight over the last few days,
with Monday the 4th being the first night (of the current spell) where
the temperature was over 22.1C, Tuesday 22.2C etc.
Last night, the 12th/13th was the first time that temps had dropped
below 20C at midnight near Winchester. Overnight lows were less than
that of course.
I've noted such temperatures only on rare occasions, usually in late
June/early July, maybe once or twice a year, and not according to my
records over 21C in recent years.
