The date record has already gone today.. Gravesend and Mildenhall both 28.6c

Touch and go whether 30.0 will be reached to break the October record again.

It's a disappointingly cool 20C in my North-facing back garden in Portsmouth
at 14:50. It got quite cold last night, and hasn't had any sun to warm it
up today. Looking at the 'Wundermap'
(http://www.wunderground.com/wunderma...-1.981&zoom=13) there
are several nearby stations reporting 21/22C but others in the same area
reporting 29, 30, even 32C. They're probably not wrong as such, but clearly
local conditions are making a huge difference to temperatures. My garden
got cold overnight and hasn't had any sun to warm it up, whereas someone
else's garden will have had 6 or 7 hours of sunshine to warm it up, so even
readings taken in the shade are going to be wildly different. Makes it a
bit pointless to quibble over tenths of a degree, or even several degrees,
when the temperature experienced by different people in the same area can be
so different.

You think so?
Best not tell the Met Office.

If there are differences of 8-10° they are almost certainly
wrong even by fairly lax standards of recording, probably due to
faulty exposure or even, with the amount of difference reported,
people telling porkies - it has happened.

Could be true in a vacuum.

Quite so. In fact why bother with all this instrumentation
at all. Just say it's hot.

sheltered under a large tree only reached 27,9c,
Who's right ?

You are. Screen should be in sunlight.
