HASLEMERE didn't quite manage to beat Heathrow to the scorching 100 degree mark of the weekend - or did it?
While Haslemere's weather expert Timothy Klein, who has been recording weather for the meteorological office for the past 47 years, recorded the second-highest figure of 33.5 degrees C or 93 degrees F, at Roundhurst near Blackdown, he thinks the town may well have been hotter.
"It was a pretty high figure for a rural area on a breezy hill," said Mr Klein.
He said that humidity of around 90 per cent made the conditions even more uncomfortable.
But as for rain - there appeared to little on the horizon apart from the odd rumble of thunder in the local area which Mr Klein heard early on Monday.
