Phew it was hot in the UK today, tropical heat, not dry.
Record wise it was not as dramatic as predicted.
The hottest area was a squat blob about 100 mile diameter with its bottom sitting on the Isle of Weight.
Several places broke the June record, Gosport highest reported so far at 36.1C, so half a degree in it.
My town had its warmest night 21C on record for any month, and warmest day today 34.9C, both by a fair margin.
Tomorrow is expected to be at least as hot, but the hottest area will move further west. But 39/40C looks less likely now.
Europe sizzled records in the mid 40s, massive part of Western Europe 35C or more.
