Here are a few more statistical odds and ends:

Although the overall CET seems to be ranked in equal 7th place,
the mean maximum CET is, provisionally, a new record. A handful
of sites in the English Midlands and also in northern Scotland had
mean maxes more than 2 degC above the 71-00 norm. A few
places in northern Scotland and along the English east and south
coasts had mean mins 1.5-2.0 degC above, but generally speaking
mean mins were much closer to average.
