No chance of the Scottish record going - its cloudy and overcast here, and I heard from one of my pals earlier its raining up in Aberdeen
 
Cooled off here in the last hour - 25C right now.

Read an article yesterday about one Local Authority's preparedness for snow: I think they either need their bumps felt, or a snap election!
 
Yes I saw that - Plymouth wasnt it - theres various suggestions of snow next week!
 
Outside temp here currently 30.3°C. I wonder why Gravesend always gets high temperatures? I used to work there and never noticed it's sub tropical climate.

Pretty hot here yesterday too - on Friday, Cambridge set a new record temperature for the hottest ever 30 September with 29.2C (84.5F), beating the 27.8C (82F) set in Maidenhead, Berkshire in 1908.
 
Unbelievably sunny and warm here too, no cloud in the sky. This also generates lots of tropospheric ducting, good opportunity to do some terrestrial DXing.
