As per Saturday.

[Dave W]

Still a balmy 20C here ..

[HSEA3]

THE warmest place today will be charlwood with 32.5c. 100% guaranteed.

[Ian Williams]

Well with partial thicknesses highest in Southern East Anglia, East London and pretty much all of Kent - i am going with surprise surprise - Gravesend with 30.9C.

[Chris Alder]

Another hot one likely in the south although to my untrained eye partial thickness appears to have declined slightly from yesterday so I'm not sure yesterday's 32.4c will be topped. Still London, the south east and into east Anglia should see 30-32c again.

Despite thick fog ie visibility down to less than 200meters cloud cover is much rescued here so hoping for a much better day than Saturday. That said it's only 14c at the moment so again hardly anything to write home about.

Partial Thickness values are very slightly lower than Saturday, However diurnal increase will compensate that. Temps widely 30-32C across much of London and NE into East Anglia and surrounding home counties. 27-30 across much of SE England from Lics to Southampton to Kent and back up.

Top Value again prob bounded by triangle from London NE to Cambridge, SE Essex back London. SLightly more onshore flow into E Anglia today. Possibly Essex today nr yesterdays record. 32-33C

What a difference a day and more importantly some sun makes, powered past yesterdays max of 22.9C at 9.50 and already upto 24.8c with DP of exactly 20.0C.

Btw big difference between here and Bmth airport at the moment as jsut driven past there and still pretty foggy and abnout 18c (09.30). Bmth airport is about about 3 miles from here and I've had sun since 8am.

[Howard Kirby]
