Default Berkshire - third-hottest day in last 90 years

My maximum today 36.0°C. (Stevenson screen, open rural exposure).

New July record (obviously - as the previous UK July record was 35.9°C
- not the 36.0°C quoted by the Met Office - see my earlier post on
this topic)

Third-hottest day since my local records commenced in 1917 - the only
days 35.0°C or more being -

35.0°C - 19 Aug 1932
35.0°C - 27 June 1976
36.5°C - 3 Aug 1990
36.4°C - 10 Aug 2003
36.0°C - today's max

Reading University AWS max 35.5°C. Reading's previous July highest was
35.0°C on 12 July 1923, at the more sheltered old town-centre site.
