One Day Heatwave Brings the Hottest day of the Year

After what seemed an awful lot of weather hype, Saturday became our hottest day of the year with the temperature topping out at 29.4°C (84.9°F) late in the afternoon. A coincidence is that last year on the 29th June the temperature also reached 29.4°C (84.9°F) but we were already well into that lovely summer and it wasn't the warmest day of the year either as we'd already cleared the 30°C(86°F) mark earlier in the month.
Temperature Records 01-July 2018 to 30 June 2019
It's the hottest day we've had since the end of July last year when the temperature reached 32.2°C (90.0°F) on the 26 July 2018. Last June was a very dry month, unlike this June when we've had 85.0mm (3.35in) of rain, making it the wettest month of the year and the wettest since February 2018 when we had 104.0mm or 4.09in.
Sunday morning has seen a return to normal temperatures for late June with no more hottest days in the forecast.
