I'm a little shocked by that CET value. It was one of the warmest

I on the other hand am surprised that so many stations are above CET. My

own
readings are -0.6C (mean 4.6), and I am not usually that far out!

I have recoded only three below CET monthly averages in the past two years,
but that includes two of the last three months.

No, I'm not going to claim that it is further evidence of Global Cooling :-)


But will you accept that the reason that your readings are exceptions is due
to the chaotic nature of weather and climate, and not just random chance :-?

Cheers, Alastair.
