Those figures do sound hot for Leeds in May Aaron, scorching dewpoints for the north.

Southern Northern England usually sees the same temperatures as the Midlands/Southern England.

Perhaps due to urban heat Island or Fohan, for example Greater Manchester and Leeds/Bradford are showing 16/17.c values the same as the far south. Only London is higher presumably due to UHE.

It's only really North of Yorkshire that has has the stereotypical 'its grim up north' weather.

Anyway its 25.6c and rising

Dew point 18.1c

[Blizzards]

26c and hot and humid. Any small clouds quickly melt away. 11/10 weather lol.

[Aaron]

We reached 26.2c now 25.8c

Lots of cumulus and feels so very, very warm.. not hot really, just really warm.

[Bottesford]

Seems the dew point has just taken a leap (13c now almost 16c) with temps leveling off at about 24c. The sky is slightly more hazy too. A sticky night ahead I think!

[Backtrack]

21.9C with unbroken sunshine after an overcast start to the day.
Doesn't feel that warm either thanks to an annoying breeze.

For some reason the current weather in my town is described as thunderstorm on the NW home page link! I can count 4 small Cumulus
in the sky that I can see lol !!

27'C in Altnaharra - I'd imagine that some areas around Achnashellach down towards Drumnadrochit must be scorching at the moment. A cool 25'C in Western Inverness.

Definitely. Back up to 26C here - caught the sun again today, hoping a nice tan develops.

We've reached a max of 17.2C today with the cloud burning away in the early afternoon but a keen north-easterly keeping it cooler than inland.

Currently 16.6C and 81% humidity, so pretty pleasant.

[Bottesford]

Roll on the weekend when I can enjoy it properly! Despite the sun pouring into the office (and directly on me) I doubt I'll be tanning until Saturday & Sunday.

Ive got a reading of 27.6c here near Lichfield. I am quite low lying compared with other areas around me.

Its probably a slightly higher reading due to my garden microclimate although the sensor is positioned on a shaded bird table next to the pond and lawn.

The Coleshill official met office station is a strange one reading 23.7c. However, it is quite exposed and on a considerable hill, personally i dont think its a very good location for the met office to position one of their stations, given the general low-lying topographic characteristics of the east Birmingham area.

The Coleshill reading is bull IMO because after nearly 10 years of weather interest it feels to me that its at least 25c around here if not higher (and my judgement taking into account high humidity).

You're making me jealous now, NR...25C here.

[Liam Ellis]

Stunning weather here in Central Cardiff, not a cloud in the sky and temperature of 23C.

[A Scottish Winter's Tale]

Altnaharra now at 26.9C, 26.2C at Glasgow Bishopton. The house is surprsingly cool which is great and there are quite a few clouds in the sky but the sun is shining.

[Backtrack]

Falling fast here, the breeze has become quite strong. Down to 19.4C after a high of just over 21C. Rubbish, it should be the East getting the sea breeze, not us!
