Hot!

[lnr]

The temperature is now officially off the top of the scale:

I was out in it a couple of degrees cooler half an hour ago, and it's glorious out there so long as you're not trying to do anything. Beautiful. I'm very tempted to just sleep in the garden tonight.

[NB, at original time of posting temp was 36.1° C, it may well not be off the top of the scale when you read this]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, but I'm going to stay right where I am! Anyway, I did far too much shopping yesterday lunchtime. It's much safer if I stay here.

Its still off the scale - currently 36.7°C

Very much up and down over the last half hour, though admittedly 35 is as low as I've seen it. I'm hitting reload every 5 mins myself though so I don't think I need other people to report :-)

Phew, what a scorcher!

Not even that it's currently showing 37.2°C, when the all-time British record is 37.1°C (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3127669.stm)?

Admittedly I'm not sure that this evidence is going to count - perhaps a half-hourly average is required for 37.2 to be a <roy-castle>re-cord-brea-ker</roy-castle>. Certainly Bloody Hot, though.

It's 28.5 °C in this room right now, apparently. Got up to 29.4 last night, though.

It probably doesn't count because it's an amateur gauge on a suntrap of a roof with only white and not silvered material to provide shade. It's probably over-reading by at least a degree or so on the actual official temperature. But it is on my roof and updates every minute, so I like it anyway.

Various sources seem to make the actual temp in Cambridge around 34.

37.8 just now. I'm amused by the fact that their graph only goes up to 35. The sunshine graph seems to have stuck on 100%.
