Very early days yet, I know - but given the way the month has started,
and that the LRF's have us staying in the warm sector for the
foreseeable future...

Old CET record looks to be 16.6C in 1729, and in the past 60 years,
16.3C in 1949.

Well if it does pan out as forecast, it will bear out my forecast earlier on
this year of a warm September & October - just like we had in 1978! Let's just
hope we don't get a similar winter to 1978/1979!! In Solihull, we had snow lying
on the ground for nearly two weeks before and during Christmas & New Year, and
again for TEN WEEKS from 20th-ish of January 1979 right through to nearly the
last day of March!

Aagh! Every time I learn something new... it pushes something old out of my brain!
