Is it actually hot elsewhere in England?

[Kokapetl]

It's raining here (Devon). And has been cloudy all morning.

Maybe it will pick up a bit later.

Highest “official” temp so far is 36.4 at Santon Downham in Suffolk, about 30 mins from me.

Hot in Manchester but pretty nice. Its been cloudy and rained so far this summer so not complaining about the one hot day.

36 Here in SE London right now. I feel sick and wobbly and have been in the shade all day. Hot weather just messes me up.

Currently 34c in Jersey... and that's with a bit of a sea breeze (thank the Lord for living on an island!) so feels slightly less furnace-like than it might do in the middle of the UK 😓

C 30 degrees in Exeter, inside my house downstairs is 22 degrees as we are NW facing.

Are people quoting temperatures taken in the sun or the shade - the temperature taken in the shade being the one most comparable to the official temperatures, which are taken in the shade?

Thank you @restedbutexhausted and @ErrolTheDragon 🌻

Cloudy and rained in Manchester? Where exactly? I’m slowly melting here in MCR

We’ll it’s been 36 degrees and off the scale humidity here in Japan this evening, but checking the weather site for where we usually live in the U.K. and it is expected to top out at 32. However, here we’ve got wall to wall aircon and the houses are set up to cope with it, whereas back home I expect by now I’d be putting ice cubes in front of the fan and the cat would be hiding in the shade looking sorry for itself.

34 in the shade in sunny East Anglia.

I'm on the Mendips. TBH we seem to have our own ecosystem here. 😂

It's about 34° outside here in my part of West Yorkshire, inside the house it's about 26°.

I have a very grumpy 6 month old in just a nappy and a 4 year old that wants to run around outside, it's too warm! Can't wait for some rain on Wednesday (hopefully)

I agree, @elfycat - we're the same.

33 on the school run in east Kent this afternoon. Haaaawt.

@MusicForASushiRestaurant 40c would be a new U.K. record - where are you?

33 in East Sussex. Apparently 36 in Nottingham (checked as son is at university there).

My garden thermometer has topped out.
I'm in the NE of England that is not supposed to happen!
I've just had a message from a friend working in Chennai who had realised it was hotter here than there.

Leith 35 in sunlight 29 in shade

36 where I am and Iv now got to do the school run!

36 degrees in Yorkshire.

38 degrees here (Cambridge centre but not far from the river) , city seems a bit quieter than usual.

Really sorry to say this and dreading tomorrow but it’s balmy here. A light breeze, lively and warm…just heavenly

33 in Liverpool and my poor cat is suffering. Just giving her a frozen licky lick

according to my phone it is 32 but should be 33 at 4.00 pm!
that is odd isnt? getting hotter at 4?

My temperature is in shade - now 35.7c. Sun has been on area since 9am this morning.

@Celestial135 i highly recommend the pet cooling mats on Amazon. I got one for our fussy madam over the weekend not expecting it to make a difference but DH (who is working from home) says she’s barely moved off it all day!

I’m told they’re also great to put in your bed, under the bottom sheet, to help you sleep if the pets turn their nose up at it!
