Warmest in UK, according to Ceefax p.407, was Bolton at 30C, is that
your
station?

Goodness no, I'm afraid my ramshackle attempt at a temperature shield
would in no way count as a 'station'
However it is always heartening to see my own readings correlating
well with the official ones, especially the extreme ones.

Readings from Bolton have in the past year or so been reported on
the weather in the local news. I haven't noticed this before, it must be
a new site, and I am wondering as to it's location.....

IIRC Ceefax attributes some towns to nearby stations, e.g. Salisbury is
Boscombe Down.
I suspect this is what's happening with "Bolton" but I'm not sure which
station it would be.

Another possibility is CDL (climate data logger) data as I think there's one
of these in Bolton but I'm not certain this data makes it onto Ceefax.
