Today is now the hottest day in May on record with Heathrow and Kew Gardens provisionally reaching 35.0°C Until yesterday the highest temperature in May was 32.8°C, but we've now exceeded that record on consecutive days by a full two degrees Celsius 🌡️

@mikelew53498930 Certainly much cooler and more unsettled.

@DerekTheWeather never mind back to forecasting snow and blizards next week

Latest highest temperatures for all four nations of the UK today. In Wales, 32.2°C at Hawarden airport, Flintshire.

@DerekTheWeather AIRPORT!! It is always an airport, though we can hardly blame the jets in this case!

Blimey! Nearly 32°C at Hawarden airport. Unusually hot for May. Average maximum 17°C.

@TaffSpur 31.6°C

@DerekTheWeather Cardiff must be close to that temperature, it’s pretty warm 🥵

@trefjon Kew Gardens 34.8°C today. Heathrow 34.4°C.

@RyanElliott2002 @metoffice Kew Gardens max 34.8°C today. Heathrow 34.4°C

@metoffice I agree that global warming is an issue but surely taking recordings from airports full of jet engines isn’t very accurate?

Wales has also provisionally recorded a new May record Hawarden Airport reached 32.2 Celsius, with the previous record being 30.6 Celsius at Newport in 1944

@DavidSm30475893 32.2C new record for May.

@DerekTheWeather Hawarden latest?

Already 30°C in Trawsgoed, Ceredigion! On the way to breaking the May record in Wales! Current record 30.6°C in Newport 29/05/1944.

Today has been the hottest day in May on record with Kew Gardens provisionally reaching 34.8°C - exceeding the previous highest May temperature in the UK by a full 2 degrees Celsius🌡️ This heat would be exceptional in the UK even in mid summer, let alone in May📈

@LisChaplin 30.7°C

@DerekTheWeather What about Usk?? 🥵

A few places in Wales have reached 31°C this afternoon! Exceptional for May.

New May record for Wales! Almost 31°C in Trawsgoed, Ceredigion this afternoon. 🔥☀️

Lovely morning @BELFASTCITY_AIR Rising to 24°C this afternoon. ☀️

Had the best time in Belfast this weekend with @Sue_Charles and friends. Did @StormontParkrun on Saturday. Visited @TitanicBelfast and met up with weather pals from @bbcnewsline. The one and only @barrabest @angie_weather and @WeatherCee at Belfast Castle in glorious sunshine! 😎

@Itsonlyme_Kim Yes, record breaking heat likely tomorrow afternoon.

@DerekTheWeather Is this particularly unusual for it to be this hot in May? I’m sure it wasn’t this hot last year! 🥵

27°C in Cardiff this afternoon. Highest in Wales so far this year! 30 or 31°C tomorrow and on Tuesday! 27°C on Wednesday. 25°C on Thursday.

Beautiful day in Belfast with lenticular clouds. Rising to 23°C today. ☀️😎
