Default Lack of variation in maximum temperatures

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.

Hi, Richard,

High just 23.0C here - very disappointing. This could be rectified today, if
the fog clears!

Our low was 3.5C with -0.9C on the grass. BBC CEEFAX p401 forecast had 4C
for us, so pretty good imho.

Mean max is running at -0.4C and mean min +0.1C (1971-2000 means), sunshine
103% and rain 72%. The rain figure could well be altered dramatically before
the final reading for August at 09Z tomorrow, though. Amazing how often this
happens!

Best wishes,
