Have we had any update on the hottest temperatures? Some of the figures reported were well before the hottest part of the day.

Having COVID and this weather isn't much fun. Waiting for tomorrow so I can just moan about man COVID instead of the weather.

There is actually 2 separate fires, 1. By the bridge at Joyce Green and 2. Between Dartford / Bexley (the heath in the twitter vid).

I've had it in the neck for the last week from my Dad , with him going on about the heatwave in 1976 which "lasted for 2 months not 2 bloody days"

He's right though, remember it well!

This is a walk in the park compared to that.
