I was in London all last summer, as I am now. You are correct. The idea that the record breaking temperature of 19 July 2022 (1) was some kind of fake or artifact of measurement, is horseshit, plain and simple. There's no other way to put it. This is a glib but nonsensical assertion. It's just deliberately wrong.
That 1 day was the worst of it but the whole several weeks were bad. I myself measured 41C in my back yard on the 19th. Others had similar.
