Great Malvern 27.0°C, Benson 27.1°C, Marham 27.2°C, Holbeach 27.3°C,
Farnborough 27.4°C, Charlwood 28.0°C, Heathrow 28.7°C, Northolt 28.9°C,
Gravesend 29.3°C

What is it about the Gravesend site that makes it so warm?

The London MO is at least understandable, being in the middle of a heat
island.

, London MO 29.7°C.

What is the average maxima of Gravesend in the summer months - must be
close to 24C, I'd have thought?
