The leaderboard so far, all recorded today (Manchester recorded 30.8C the other day I believe):
I think that 33C by Wales is a good benchmark, good enough to easily beat Scotland and NI, but I think given this above average summer, England will cruise to victory.

Has England not ever had the hottest yearly temperature? Very good question..... Anybody know? |

I'd say England, there will be another heat wave in mid-July that brings temps up to 35 C.

Before 2003 the record high temp for the UK was in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire at 37°C.

England will take the lead again in July or August. If the ground is very dry by August and the pattern holds we could see mid or high 30s.

Yeah, London has the highest average highs but often doesn't set the record.
Porthmadog seems surprisingly prone to heatwaves, especially early in the summer, and they always cite high temperatures there. Yet the town lacks a sea level station on the Met Office site. Would that be because it's a young station without enough averages or something?

I'd go with Wales. That temperature is hard to beat for a maritime climate and it's going to take a strong heat wave to topple it. Sweden has had a very warm spring and early summer but still I think hasn't gone above 32°C. I'd be very surprised if the 31.8°C Målilla reading from today wasn't the hottest. So am surprised Wales has been warmer than that in a one-off event this year.

That must be rare to have it that way Strewthless , is there a strong föhn-effect exaggarating heat waves on individual days in Wales? The averages for Wales don't exactly imply 30-days being common. |

I just thought you were implying it was a freak one-off day. When instead it's part of an unusually sustained warm spell. |

This is turning into a memorable summer. Hopefully July continues! Need temps to be 4C higher to reach 2006/1995/2003/1976 heights but I’m perfectly happy with this for now! We deserve this.
I think with the dry ground we could reach 35C again this summer

So we won't be seeing 30 year averages from that for a while then, 2001-2030 normals? |

That's if they release the averages, they don't for all stations anyway... You could always use the gridded data sets to estimate averages like Wilko did for Selsey  |
