Anyhow, it looks like the storms have largely cleared my area,
currently on 19.2C and will probably just about reach again the
max of 21.0C I recorded in some hazy sunshine this morning
at around 9 O'clock before the thunder arrived.

Hey col , something is worrying me
about the record temps, there is a batch
of heavy showers moving out of france.
This could destroy the record hopes
if it comes across which it seems to be doing!

My thermo in the back garden
in the shade away from the house
is reading 36c!!

Hate to think what its reading in gravesend

Hmmm......
At this rate the 37.1C record will be absolutely shattered.
40C anyone??
Of course I'm joking there's no way we are suddenly going
to put a whole 3C onto the record, but I guess 38C is possible.
However the really hot air is currently being squeezed into an
ever decreasing area in the south and east and what with all
the storms about even some overspill cloud development in the
SE at the wrong time would be enough to take a couple of
degrees of what might have been.

I wonder what temperature needs to be reached in the SE for some homegrown
cells to develop? Relative humidities seem quite low however.

Completely clear here in SW London, although a light breeze has developed.

Looking at the speed of movement NE the Channel cells, London should
have at least 2 or 3 hours grace before they arrive. Here on the
Solent coastline, there's absolutely *no* cloud development whatsoever
as at 12:40 BST.

With London City airport reporting 35C at 12:20 BST, and several
others at 34C, I think the record will go.

It's a mere 30 C here at the moment, light SE wind and completely
cloudless.
