One of the worst nights I can remember last night. An extremely hot night for sleeping and it was still 26C / 78F at 1am in central London. ‘Official’ minimum of 22.2C / 72F at Heathrow last night.

31C / 88F in my bedroom when I went to sleep last night and it was still 29C / 84F in my bedroom at 8am when I woke up. All windows open and a bedside fan going all night but still woke up in a puddle of sweat this morning. And I have no UHI here like they would have in cities, hence my outdoor minimum dipping to 19C / 66F.

Car said 28C / 82F on way into work at 8:45am this morning. I’m expecting 35C / 95F here later. Currently 32C / 90F at 1pm.

Horrendous fires in places, including the Scottish Highlands. Helicopters whizzing all over the place trying to put the fires out.

I need to update the UK summer thread later…

yes, Ben - we agree, it is extremely warm and therefore sometimes difficult to sleep like this.
we are drinking a lot of peppermint tea now, apparently it cools the body down, according to my aunt at lake walen (she is a specialist for coffee and teas in general). i have to say it is working for me and sabine now, by the way.
the exotic plants are coping very well with the heat and dryness, less so the native plants, unfortunately.
last night we had 20.9 degrees celsius / 69.62 degrees fahrenheit and this night almost 20 degrees celsius / 68 degrees fahrenheit. 
at the lake they had, my two friends with their weather stations each had 21.7 degrees celsius / 71.06 degrees fahrenheit and the other one directly at the lake 22.5 degrees celsius / 72.5 degrees fahrenheit, it was unbearable according to them the last few nights.

@UK_Palms Minimum here was 24.2c/75.6f last night. The high was 34.4c/94f with 32% humidity. Partial cloud cover has suppressed the temps here in London this afternoon.

Even with ac in the house the upstairs is up to 27c.

June was the warmest on record across the uk. The average high at London Heathrow was 25.6c/78f with 225 hours of sunshine.  The average minimum for June was close to 16c at 60.8f on my weather station.

It's going to cool down for the rest of early July with signs of more heat going into mid July. Having to water the garden daily at the moment. The grass in London is all brown with dusty bone dry earth.

 

Screenshot_20250701-165021_Gallery (1).jpg

here it was the second warmest june since 2003, the so-called hot summer here since the beginning of weather records.
we had between 2.6 - 3.5 degrees celsius / 36.68 degrees fahrenheit - 38.3 degrees fahrenheit more than the long-term average monthly mean temperature in june at the weather stations near and around lake constance.
as already mentioned by Ben, the native plants have very big problems with it, the exotic plants do not or only very little, if it then no longer rains at all or i would not water for a long time, which is not the case.

We are going to need to get air conditioning in the southeast and London. I am adapting to the heat outdoors but it is getting pretty tiring coming home to a roasting hot bedroom most nights nowadays and a house that does not seem to cool down even during the cooler spells in summer nowadays. I only had 31.5C / 89F here today but my bedroom was 30C / 85F still at midnight.

IMG_5317.thumb.jpeg.ffd29f5d1cc0bad22a02c299fcb2d464.jpeg

 

Even central England close to the border with Wales they have got mid 30’s C / 95F next few days and that is just a bog standard warm spell really nowadays. Nothing even notable about that nowadays, but it would have been say 20-30 years ago.

It’s down to 20C / 68F at 4am now in central London…

Yesterday: Min of 68.3f/20.1c with a high of 90f/32.2c with 27% humidity. The max UV was an 8.  It's currently 71.1f/21.7c at 6.50am, the low was 70f/21.1c. There's a good chance that London will end up meeting the csa koppen climate criteria this month.

Thats a big ask to get a second Csa summer for London in the space of 3 years. Warmest summer month has to average 22C / 72F or above, although the Met station at St James Park currently has an ave/mean of 21.9C for this month. Ave max is sitting at 27.1C out to the 13th. However that will drop a bit over the next week or so I think.

IMG_5396.thumb.jpeg.f23483b7526cdbb6333354345f140c78.jpeg


It has been an exceptionally dry first half of July for many places with negligible rainfall amounts. The Met Office station at Exeter in Devon is going to have no measurable rainfall for the first 2 weeks of July. There has been wildfires galore down that way and around my area here. Not surprising half of England now has hosepipe bans in place.

IMG_5395.thumb.jpeg.37cebd078ca078f27900cfb583b2ba0b.jpeg


The Met Office station at Holbeach has only racked up 146mm / 5.7 inches of rainfall in the whole of 2025 so far. On the current trajectory that site would finish the year at around 10-11 inches.

yes, anything is possible. if one or more of your stations reach this criterion, we still think it's amazing.

the one that comes into question in eastern switzerland is this one:
the station on lake walen quinten sg 47.1167° north latitude and 9.21667° east longitude in the center, also a davis vantage pro 2, and the colleague told me that it is at 21.4 °C at the moment, but it was significantly higher, but we and also they had a cool front. nevertheless, it seems to be possible there again this july. they have extremely many tropical nights, also because of the very good location.

in southern ticino at the lakes they are already above the 22 degree celsius mark ...

It feels like a nice and frosty 103°F outside. It's only gonna get hotter. The central air is on the fritz so it's like 84° inside right now. I might just go outside and spray myself with the hose, or try to get arrested or admitted to the hospital to cool off. 

 

It's only gonna get hotter here.

First day of a bad heatwave today. 42 C / 108 F and we are expecting 109-110 F in an hour or so... I am afraid I may lose some plants although I watered everything this morning. Humidity is low, like 30% and it's windy

Looks like it's going to be blazing hot for the next week or so.  It's currently in the mid-80s in the area... after it rained.  The heat index punched 115F during the afternoon here.  Currently 83F in the yard and climbing after the rain.

where is the summer ?

actually 20 degrees Celsius / 68 degrees fahrenheit...

every day the same sequence, thunderstorms with heavy rain, then sun and then thunderstorms again and on as before....

the exotics like it and so do we, but you have to be careful when you want to take a bath in the big swimmingpool Lake Constance, so we let it be 😁
