I very agree with you very much about the adjustment for UHI being inadequate. Here in Scotland (central Highlands) there were a few hot days, but 33C is not that unusual, we have temps in the low 30s for a day or two just about every year. Tiree had a cool and damp summer, lots of fog / mist all through June and July. North-west of Scotland also had very indifferent weather, rain most days in first few weeks of July. Whether this will be registered in the UK dataset is open to question.
