Humidity was about 15-20% during the afternoon, winds 13 gusting 26mph.

It was very strange this afternoon to have such a strong wind (29mph here, not in London) that was so hot (39C) I have never felt anything like it in the UK, it was like standing in front of a giant hairdryer.

We felt the same in the Peak District. Hot wind blowing. Then a little after the heatwave Peak it suddenly flipped to “cold, regular” wind. Surreal experience.

Even here in Scotland I was shocked that the wind on Monday felt hot - I've never encountered that here before.

The weather over the last couple of days has felt qualitatively different - and we've had nothing like the temperatures further south.
