Just to report my first 30 degrees of the summer and probably the
warmest day at this site (Locks Heath) since July 2006 (I will have to
check later, as the instruments have changed this year).

Screen Max so far: 30.2 deg C at 16:00 BST.
Screen Min today: 17.3 deg C at 06:02 BST.

Dewpoint 12.6, RH was lowest of the year at 15:54 BST, 32%.

Solent, Thorney, Hurn or Heathrow etc. might exceed these values
today, we shall see. Day 5 over 27 deg C, what a scorcher!

That should be July, of course. Calm down Dave!

I wish we had your DPs here today!

Not numerically as warm as yesterday (29.1C) but felt much hotter as
there was no wind.

Maximum of 28.7C and with a DP of 20.6C and calm conditions under a
blazing sun - well, it felt rather on the warm side.

Had to abandon a site meeting this afternoon as people were starting to
feel unwell due to the combination of heat, humidity, no shade and no
breeze. One person fainted. That's the first time I have ever called a
halt to a site meeting because of the heat.

This warm spell so far has been continually very humid.
