Question For Philip Eden

Does a rooftop reading qualify for setting a new record ?

Paul, no it won't. Not least because the successive lists
produced by Webb and Meaden over the years
specifically exclude rooftop sites -- and all other
non-standard sites.

Thanks Philip. I am interested in what Wisley reached. Anyone in the know
?

I'm told it made 31.0°C at Wisley but 32.4°C at St James's
Park. An unofficial (thanks, Tim) 34.4°C at Pembroke Square in
Kensington which is a ground level Stevenson screen with m-i-g
thermometers over grass, but quite enclosed (naturally).
