Yuck, Horrible. I hate it when nights get over 15C!
Thankfully not very often in Haytor.

What were the daytime temp like must have been extreme.

Horrors!

At least when it's cold you can pile on the duvets and blankets
and stay warm. You can't do anything to cool down in 34ºC.

94868 29.8°C

Previous nights were (11th):

I once peeled of my skin off, but the cooling process was offset by a
hellish sore burning feeling

As this site shows (http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/dwo/
IDCJDW3050.latest.shtml) the actual overnight reading was 24.2C. I
don't know where the 34 came from--maybe it was midnight, though one
article (from Aus. Met?) claimed it was the actual day's low. Maybe it
was a morning low and at midnight, following, it was 24.

Still, they should be recording the AM low as a high low temp for the
month.

Here's a report from Melbourne: It seems that the min. temperature was
in the 20s but could easily have been 34C at midnight. 34C is close to
100 F, so perhaps it was in the region of 100 F, then rounded down to
34C

In the picture you can see the traditional way of dealing with hot
nights - sleeping on the beach!

34C is about 93F and 100F is about 37C, so I don't think that rounding
can come into it.

34C is about 93F and 100F is about 37C, so I don't think that rounding
can come into it.

When I saw this on BBC News, they gave the temperature as 37C.
