Hottest day of Summer 2011?

After a very sticky night the new working week dawned with the southern half of the UK enveloped by warm winds from Spain and by 15.40 I recorded my highest June temperature of 33.2 C.

Beautiful evening on the hottest day of the year

If you live in a heavily built up area chances are it was even hotter!

This Woodpecker doesn't mind the heat

So is today the warmest we will have this year?

But this really is a mini-heatwave with the change to cooler conditions happening this evening, hopefully with a few tasty thunderstorms!
