London's first 27c/80f high in 2015 (statistics, warm, recorded, temperatures)

Here when it's 26C, the humidity is 30-35% and when it reaches 32C, the humidity goes down to 15-20%. It's rarely humid and warm at the same time and this is why we rarely get thunderstorms.

Its ocean here so thats why. It also comes from Spain so it travels over ocean

I think when it was 30c here the dew point ran from 19c to 21c.

Highly unlikely. From what I have seen, when the temp reached 30C in the UK, dew points are around 14-16C most of the time

For example July 2006 hottest month in London on record only had 2 days with a peak dew point above 19C

it's ocean here too, but the air is very dry when it's warm.

Usually with 30c the humidity will be around 40-50%. It's normal for hot spells to end with thunderstorms.

Its not ocean in Seattle. Seattle is on the continent, there is 500 miles of water between here and Spain.

Its very sticky and often hazy when it gets above 28c here

how is it not ocean? It's surrounded by water like everywhere and it's not far from open sea. LA is on the ocean and it's also not humid compared to the Atlantic coast. There is something different with the Pacific.

For further details see my previous posts.

You know very well it has, everyone else knows it has, so grow up...

It you would like to start a thread entitled "When will Heathrow hit 80F?" go ahead, but it has been established that London has hit 80F & everyone but you knows & accepts that

I am tired of this argument...talking to you is relatable to conversing with a brick wall.

I continue to stand by my logical conclusion. Officially, London has yet to breach the 80F threshold.

I have never heard of "official" weather stations before. There are NOAA weather stations all around Philly including our airport. There is one in the far northeast of the city also. Used to be one at Drexel University as well. Imo, when any single station that is an official Met Office or NOAA station records 80F, then end of story the temp was reached. What is so difficult about this topic that I'm not getting?
