Quite astonishing it has taken officialdom to wake up to the

incredibly
anomalous weather in a tiny area of the City of Worcester. A

standing joke
with the locals for over twenty years by my reckoning.




As one of the (ex) locals, I would concur that the more perceptive
among us were unable to take the guy seriously. I'm not a weather
buff, and you chaps on the ng would know more about the stats etc, but
on a subjective note, when it came to extremes of any kind, Mr
Damari's forecasts, when put in context with other sources, appeared
to be imaginative, and sometimes downright sensationalist.

Damari was the guy who recorded the 37.1 all time record, so was that
official or not?



No he wasn't it was a guy called Frank Ford, but he did make 37.0 on that
day, and an official 36.6 the day before. Does that still count, or is it
suspect?
