And 33.6 in Aldershot. The highest "official" max I've seen is Wouldn't
say it's oppressive though - very low humidity and a pleasant breeze -
but a warm breeze, so none of the usual unpleasant chilliness you feel
in a British summer breeze. Most pleasant summer conditions I can
imagine.

As for the H&S excuse, it sounds like nonsense to me -- the weather
does what it does with no help from the forecasters, so nobody is going
to blame the Met Office if they get too hot!

Tomorrow, the Met Office goes for a max of 35C, which looks likely to
me with a southerly wind and 850mb temps a degree up on today. If you
look at their forecast maps, the earlier 37s and 38s have been removed.
