Heatwave scores
Yeah, ok, it's more just 'normal summer' but it's definitely toasty today.
What has your car told you it is so far?
29.5degC according to the BMW.
Any one want to beat that?

34 when I left work, stayed between 31 & 32 all the way home.

No idea, the sun is so bright I can't actually see the display that tells me.

JL probably has something starting with a ‘5’
Re: Heatwave scores
JL doesn't count.

29C on my dash while I sat waiting for the lights. In full leathers, helmet, boots gloves. Not much fun.

Re: Heatwave scores
I'm assuming you mean 29 as the highest recorded temp in the UK is 38.5 in Kent!

Re: Heatwave scores
This is specifically for car temp readings - so inaccuracies are to be expected. Sort of the point.
Me mate Karens Polo recorded 43degC down in Devon

^ Bah, in the 40s already 
I was going to say, 37° is forecast for Thursday so should get some readings starting with a 4.

Re: Heatwave scores
Well air temps you see on weather forecasts are based on a shaded area, so it’s significantly higher when you’re in direct sunlight. I had high 30’s last week. Don’t know what it is but London is hell right now.
How about not having a sig at all?
