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

If it beat that 1729 figure, it would be warmer than August wouldn't
it? Has that ever happened?

BTW, in the 22 years from 1983-2004, I recorded a grand total of just 3
days over 25.5C - now the last 3 days have all been above that level!
