The old September record of 24.1ºC has just been exceeded here minutes ago.


Currently 22.2°C here, Alex, with an RH of 82%. Quite a lot of AcCast
floating about to the SW which could make for another interesting
evening.


Looks like there might be something not quite right with your RH sensor,
Alan. A temperature of 22.2 with a RH of 82% gives a dew-point of about
19C which is way too high. The airmass dew-point looks to be around
14-15C. I've thought for a while that your RH values looked on the high
side.
