August has been a bit of a disappointment here also.
The absoloute maximum for August is standing at 23.0ºC, recorded on the 8th.
On the low side, but the equivalent value from 2001 was 1ºC lower.
The lowest maximum set on the 26th of just +12.8ºC is statistically
interesting (a new site record), if not exactly enjoyable.
The mean for the month is just below the LTA, with only 2001 having a cooler
August in the last ten years.
However, I think tomorrow afternoon and evening could have extremely
interesting weather in store for these parts.

Over the last 14 days maximum temperatures here have ranged from just
16.4C to 19.8C with mean 18.3C and st. dev. 1.14C.

Highest all month just 21.8C - very poor indeed. Hopefully September
will do better.

At least minima have been a bit more interesting. It got down to 5.4C
last night - the lowest temperature, by 0.1C, since 1.3C on 7th June.
