The Met Office gleefully declared the hottest start to May on record last Thursday.

This is the usual “One Day = Climate” hooey we are used to seeing from the Met Office, which appears to think we have not worked out there are 364 other days in the year!

In fact a temperature of 29.3C in the London urban heat bubble is not remarkable at this time of year. It was not even as hot as the 16th April was in 1949.
 
Away from the urban heat island, temperatures only hit 26.1C at Rothamsted, the high quality Class 1 site, thirty miles north in the Hertfordshire countryside.

CET reached 25.4C that day, the sort of temperature not uncommon in the first week of May:

Whoever sets the global temperatures seems to be having trouble deciding what temperatures should be in Michigan.  Yesterday, almost 80 but today isn't supposed to hit 60.
