It's also worth noting the "hottest ever temperature" was reported as being at Colinbury, that is RAF Colinbury, next to a lovely hot runway.

I recently saw a picture of a British sunbather, and I was surprised by the low quality of the photos. Turned out to be some old foto of a disgruntled Buddhist monk….So hard to tell these days.
