reaching the mid thirties Celsius. A daily maximum temperature of 38.7 °C was recorded at Cambridge Botanic Garden, setting a new all-time UK temperature record and many other stations also set all time site records. The rail network was severely affected across South East England with train cancellations
Today the Met Office observations team has received a new provisional figure of 38.7 Celsius from Cambridge University Botanic Garden. The current highest temperature on record for the UK is 38.5 Celsius, recorded in Faversham in August 2003. The temperature recorded yesterday at Cambridge

background Robert joined the Met Office in 2010 in the Climate Monitoring and Attribution team. Before that he worked as a post-doc at the Excellence Cluster "Universe" in Munich studying the behaviour of solar-mass black-holes over time from their X-ray emission. He received his PhD from the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge, which followed on from an MSci in Natural Sciences (Physics) from Cambridge University.
