I know these are of limited statistical significance but they are always
interesting.
The current record for April 9th is 23.9°C and with the mention on the
forecast this morning of the possibility of 26°C, this looks almost
certain to be beaten.

==================

Looks like we might be in a reasonably prime position here in East Cambs to
see today's max - I'll be keeping an eye this afternoon on our online
station at:

http://www.weatherlink.com/user/pwsn...p?view=summary

Currently showing 16.7C @ 0940 with an excellent open exposure. Passive VP2
shield but a reasonable breeze through the shield at present. Also have an
aspirated shield alongside, which is also online and currently 16.6C but
this one is not publicly viewable I'm afraid, so can cross-check later.

And 20.0C @1109BST (19.9C aspirated)

JGD

Looks like 25.5C was the max in the aspirated screen @1605, with 25.6C in
the passive screen. So, arguably you could round up to 26C as the nearest
integer temp, though 78F would be a touch more accurate.

Going by the temperature here I would expect Gravesend to be over 26C !

Max 26.2 here in Hampstead. Non-standard exposure but at the right height and in the shade with a decent airflow so probably not far out. What a day. Can't recall anything so warm so early on at least in recent years.

Unfortunately, Gravesend is missing from the OGIMET list !

According to the BBC news website, Cambridge reached 25.5°C. The MO
twitter feed says that a number of places reached 25°C. So it looks like
the date record has definitely gone.

I'm off to the Cotswolds for a few days holiday tomorrow. It looks like
temperatures will revert to average or even a touch below, but at least
it should stay mainly dry.
