Forecast said 23c today but reached 27c!

Last night was amazing up here. I was on nights and xan honestly say I dont recall it ever being so warm st night. It was still 26c at 3am!...dropping to 21c by dawn.

I had two fans going last night and still could'nt get the lounge cool, by bed-time I was heat exhausted.

I took one fan to bed. No idea how hot but it was very hot.

Quite hot here today with over 35C in the garden. The southeast got the highest temperatures at the official weather stations with a few close to 37C. I have seen lots of 36-38C temperatures at amateur stations and all that places where around the southeast so quite right. Here some clouds came in the early afternoon that made the wind short moment west, wich keeping it "cool" for a while. Still very nice after a very warm night as well (22C). The wind was not warm, but just hot from time to time wich was quite nice Forecast gives us a few more warm days 26-30C and then it looks much much cooler.

Official weather map First sheet of amateur temperatures at 16.00 hour this afternoon.

Wouldn't say smoking hot, but warm yes. In my childhood days of taking records, 25C did happen on regular basis, it was unheard of not to record at least a few 25C in mid-summer, and that was in the worst months. But recently it's been a little different (apart from this July of course)

After stifling in 30c+ with high humidity most of yesterday, the heavens opened in a mother of thunder storms last night!
It's been a while since the weather set off house and car alarms. Only 7mm(thought it was more) of rain but the light show was fantastic

Thunder and lightning yesterday evening, but warm the rest of the day.

There is no rain on the 5 day forcast. its sunny with clear skies again , only 20 right now, reached 25 yesterday, but it seems this summer is just going on and on.

5 day forecast for me is dry and sunny except for sunday where i'm forecast light rain showers. Been hovering around 20c - 23c all this week.
