24.8C here, 57% humidity, Dewpoint 15.8 and I am finding it unbearable! For some odd reason my weatherstation icons today are clouds and rain but the sky is a gorgeous blue with just whispy white clouds & contrails in it

Hot and humid, but not a cloud in the sky for me I'm afraid. Maybe not today, perhaps in a couple of days then?

It is VERY oppressive today in London! Air conditioning set to 16C and its hardly making a dent in this humidity...legs and back all sweaty (I know I know, TMI - nevertheless one must describe one's predicament lol)
At 1300, it was 27C in London...feels warmer!
Fair to say our storm ingredients are starting to emerge.

god i miss them old bbc weather maps! The best summers for night time storms that would last for hours
I have a theory... we've not had decent all nighters since they changed the weather maps... PERHAPS the maps hold the key to the storms of the olden days...
a little coincidental, you all have to admit

Cloudy and sticky in Manchester! I can see some towers to the west of me but so far I only managed a few drops of rain.
Hoping for a bang later!

Latest MetO scores on the doors:
Gravesend - 28.1C
Benson - 27.6C
Heathrow/Northolt - 27.2C
Obviously, it will be warmer than this locally!
So, warmer than forecast it seems - could mean a 30C or two tomorrow
