London is the warmest place in the country. If London didn't, nowhere else did.

Not true. The warmest temperatures are often recorded outside London in places such as Wisley, Gravesend, Farnborough, Faversham, Cambridge.

Of all the monthly record high temperatures, only those of February, April, May and July were set in London.

Sometimes the warmest places are further west, such as Chelteham and Pershore. Or even further north.

Sometimes even Scotland

Lossiemouth I think recorded the warmest temp in the UK last May.

Perhaps England will see its first 30 C/86 F reading well before late June or early July then.
