Hottest day of 2012

Tue, Jul 24, 2012

It is officially the hottest day of the year so far after the mercury rose close to 30C (86F).

A temperature of 29.7C (85.46F) was recorded in Charlwood, Surrey – close to Gatwick Airport – this afternoon.

It beats the previous highest temperature of 29.3C (84.74) which was recorded in Achnagart, in the Highlands, on May 25.

Forecasters are still waiting for today’s final temperatures which may soar even higher and reach 30C. http://news.sky.com/story/964231/weather-hottest-day-of-the-year-so-far

I am not an experienced gardener - more of an enthusiastic amateur who learns by trial and error and is keen to "manage" the effects of the weather on my garden. Writing this blog is my passion and I hope that it will continue to grow, allowing global gardeners to communicate about the effects of climate change on our plants and the future of our gardens.
