We usually get to around 29C every year, at least 28C, but that's not been the case this year.

But do you get to 22°C in a summer afternoon? That seems far more noteworthy.

England has 2c in a summer afternoon before.

To anybody lamenting how the southeast hogs all the high temperatures in this country: you're more than welcome to take your share, seriously! 30.0C today (oddly the temperature stayed almost exactly steady from about 1.30 to 5.30pm) and tonight won't be far off the Hampstead highest (as far as I can tell) low temperature on record of 21.6C. My bedroom acts as a sun trap in the afternoon/evening and is stiflingly hot with no way of cooling it down, so it looks like I'll be spending a second night sleeping on the couch

Well yeah, because that's usually when the temperatures peak - 3pm - 5pm.

It was 20c here at 2am last night..

And, I'm sure England has never had 2c in a summer afternoon before. Maybe June 1975 came close when it snowed.

Even though most people here will remember summer 2012 as being poor because of the rain/gloom in the first half and a lot of cool days, it is actually running fractionally warmer than average in my location, with June's -0.6C anomaly and July's -0.8C being offset by the +1.5C so far in August - the high minima have made the difference.

I would describe that as just a warm spell TBH, not "heat", I lived in the East Midlands then and the highest temperature reached was 27°C / 81°F on two days. July 2009 was a horrible month, wet dull and generally pathetic after the 4th.

Went up to 79°F. But the dew point is 48°F (9°C)! Almost cloudless.
