Only 3 years have had an annual maximum less than 30C 1993: 29.7C at East Bergholt 1981: 29.5C at Kew. 1978: 28.8C at Poolewe The lowest annual maximum 1900-2006 was recorded at the old MetO station here in Raunds in 1920 with 27.8C See: http://www.personal.dundee.ac.uk/~ta...ttest_days.htm Ian Raunds, East Northants. Nat Grid Ref SP9972 ------------------------------------------------------------------ What about 1980? Also how about 1985 - I thought that was the year when the maximum temperature (of just below 30C) was in October. Nick |

Only six days so far this year have exceeded 25C - it would be interesting to see what the lowest number of days to exceed 25C in past years is. -- Jonathan Stott Canterbury Weather:http://www.canterburyweather.co.uk/ Reverse my e-mail address to reply by e-mail The total of 25+ days here so far as 4, one of them in April. This is the same figure as for 1985 and 1988 and I am rather doubtful if it will now be exceeded. Highest temperature this year is 27.6°C (5 Aug) but this is not my lowest, which was 27.5°C in 1988.

Hi Nick, Thanks for pointing out 1980, the annual max was 29.4 at Cors Fachno (Dyfed) however 1985 did exceed 30C. 30.1 at St Louis (Jersy). The hot spell in early October you refer to, which I recall well, saw March (Cambs) record an all time October high of 29.4 on the 4th. Cheers, Ian. |

![]() Has anywhere in the UK recorded a 30C max on any day this year yet? If not, how unusual is this? I thought the London Weather Centre did on the 5th August. 30.2c if I remember correctly Has anywhere *with anywhere near standard exposure* recorded 30°C yet this year? (If we count LWC, perhaps I can include the 48°C it reached on a couple of days over summer in my conservatory, the exposure is quite similar?) I think excluding LWC the highest credible synop site max to date is 29.7°C at both Coningsby and Holbeach on 5 August. If this remains the highest of the year - and there's 2-3 weeks yet which could surpass this - it will be the lowest UK annual maximum since 1981 (29.5°C at Kew Gardens on 5 August) although 1993 equalled 29.7°C (East Bergholt, Suffolk, on 4 July). Of course, some of the monthly-reporting Met O climat sites may have also just surpassed 30°C, and there may be other standard sites in other networks such as the COL A-grade locations.

But do you have a Parabolic mirror and fresh black tarmac laid daily? Of course, some of the monthly-reporting Met O climat sites may have also just surpassed 30°C, and there may be other standard sites in other networks such as the COL A-grade locations. Stephen Burt Stratfield Mortimer, Berkshire We might be in for a long wait, how long did it take the MetO to conjour up 38.5C at 'Brogdale' on Aug 10th 2003. I'm sure they didn't go public with that until the October. Ian. |
