Bingley has reached 30C in every full decade since records began but it has never done it twice in the same decade.
The lowest absolute high was a very low 22.9C in 1993 btw, that record is safe for another year as we've already hit 25C.
Interesting. Lowest absolute high for Leeds was 26.8C, also in 1993. At least no year has ever failed to reach 80F.. lol.
30C is uncommon, as in it only happens once a year usually, and it isn't guaranteed to happen at all. For Leeds Weather Centre there were 1-2 days of 30C+ temps a year on average.

I wondered if I'd got my one wrong because it's so different to yours and it turns out I had, but it was actually only 22.6C
What a horrendous summer as well as being the dullest year in modern history:
June average high: 16.4C
July average high: 15.5C
August average high: 15.5C
Another oddity about it was that it was (I think) the only year to record its coldest temperature in November (-7.7C, still the record low for the month).
Summer 1993 average highs and sun. Sun hours were only slightly below average, but the temps were crap.
June: 21.8c, 224.2 hrs sun
July: 21.6c, 174.9 hrs sun
August: 21.6c, 219.4 hrs sun
Just had a look through Heathrow's data, and there are only 2 occasions in the record where a poor June and July gave way to an average August, 1998 and 2012.
The coldest ever yearly maximum in Malta (Luqa) is 32.8C (3 times) in July 1964. It only reached 32.2C in August twice too, though these figures are from Tutiempo so not sure how accurate they are...
The coldest since 1980 was as recent as 2014, with 34.7C.
No chance. It'll be downgraded, whilst just over the channel enjoys 30C+
I'm not expecting that chart to actually happen. Just yesterday it was showing 30c, and then downgraded to 21c.
