...Buxton Slopes Met Office Weather Station - we recorded an Air Maximum Temperature for Tuesday 23rd June - inside a World Wide Standard ventilated cabinet (a "Stevenson Screen"), a high of 29.5°C.
Air Temperature is measured inside the "Stevensen Screen" - this is about 2 metres off the ground - at around head height. - this is to ensure that the temperatures are an exact comparison with every other calibrated Met Office and other sites located anywhere in The World - and temperatures are not unduly affected by building, surroundings or reflected heat from tarmac or concrete etc.
For information, this beats all our records for a JUNE HIGH - we have daily figures back to 1865 - the previous JUNE high was on June 30th 2019 , when the temperature on Buxton Slopes reached 29.1°C...............

......Tuesday 30 Jun - Thursday 9 Jul
Fairly changeable conditions at first with periods of rain and showers, and there could be some thundery outbreaks at times. The best of the drier and brighter weather initially will be across the southeast. Then perhaps a drier start to July for many, although the northwest may still see some rain at times, and perhaps accompanied by some strong winds. Temperatures are likely to be near average in the north and slightly warmer than average in the south, but with winds generally from the west temperatures aren't expected to be as hot as seen recently.
Friday 10 Jul - Friday 24 Jul
High pressure patterns are looking slightly more likely than low pressure patterns during the early part of this period, meaning a greater chance of settled and drier than average conditions. Although with outbreaks of rain and stronger winds at times, more especially across the north. There is still a chance of some changeable or more unsettled conditions developing later in the period, with a risk of some heavy and thundery showers. Temperatures are likely to be above normal on the whole, with a greater than normal chance of hot conditions developing at times.................
