Yes I presume it’s because Kew Gardens/Heathrow are in bowls
and heat is trapped within these “bowls”. I think the reason why Emley Moor was the hottest in temp last night was due to the heat rising. Emley Moor is about 800 feet above sea level.37 then 36 back to 37 here.
I thought all these Met Office readings were taken in the shade and the location and proximity to anything was unimportant.
If Heathrow was misleading, they wouldn’t take readings from there.

Errr no.
Homer. Noooo. Heathrow is On a higher plain to surrounding area (you can see them touch down from sandown park) and Kew is bang next to the Thames so if it was a bowl it would be a bloody lake
“If Heathrow was misleading, they wouldn’t take readings from there”.
Bull….
It tells half truths because then they can exaggerate global warming.
Value Is EverythingOk. Ging
Hampton (where I was bought up) also often records highest temp of the day. Pretty sure it had highest of year for uk recently
It’s only 5 miles from Heathrow
But directly south
Would take a north wind etc and let’s leave it at that
Calm down Clive, too hot to go OTT.
As Chezza points out…
Areas immediately behind the runway are probably not counted because it would be too obvious the airport runway is a contributing factor to their hotter temperatures.Value Is EverythingWasn’t the previous record at some botanical gardens in Cambridge?
That sounds like a recipe for heat too, but I honestly don’t think the location matters as all readings are taken in uniform settings in the shade.
Anyway, who needs to exaggerate climate change when there are fires breaking out in multiple locations?

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Strange story
Two weeks ago I met an old family friend fir first time in 20 years and recounted a freind of mine who went swimming in Thames at Hampton and drowned
He was 14
Yesterday
Virtually same spot
These readings aren’t from thermometers stuck willy-nilly here and there; they’re from official Met Office weather stations
Airports feature heavily, for obvious reasons, as do scientific institutions such as botanical gardens
Temperature readings are taken from within specially designed boxes called Stevenson Screens, see the first section of:
Thanks Drone – thought it was something like that.
Re the fires, quite a bit of human stupidity and ignorance all across Europe coinciding with this heatwave.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Drowning is due to human stupidity/ignorance. Very sorry for both sets of families/friends. It must be hell as they search for the body, knowing there is not a chance of survival but hoping they managed to escape elsewhere.
Unfortunately this has been happening to years. One of my Dad’s friends died swimming in the local dam over 60 years ago.
“Re the fires, quite a bit of human stupidity and ignorance all across Europe coinciding with this heatwave.”
Correct ID, disposable bbqs, litter, deliberate setting of fires etc. Fires just don’t start on their own. We all did it as a kid under controlled conditions. Sun through glass on to paper.
Sun gone in, briefly very humid, still is but wind building, the weather could be about to break….
