IMHO and Judging by MO reports, your thermometer screen is cooking your
maximum tempeartures!

Steve,
Exeter Airport recorded 25C today. I recorded 25.9C at my location until the
sea breeze cooled things off a degree or two. Exeter Airport is in a rather
exposed location slightly nearer to the sea than here, I suspect that 26C in
mid-Devon would be expected.

As for yesterday, I recorded 27.1C. The air was exceptionally calm and no
sea breeze occurred all day which is why it went that high. I noted that
other areas of the country were much cooler, which I admit is unusual as we
normally don't get the highest temperatures in the country here during the
early summer.

2nd day in a row with 26C in Mid Devon, can anyone beat this?



Hi there Warren


Besides which, observing the weather and recording meteorological
parameters is not about beating each other, otherwise we end up with
another Barbourne, or Oxford (re; yesterday's supposed 16 hours of
sunshine!).

Nevertheless, glad you enjoyed the warmth of the south -west - we
grockles are envious of your climate doem there :-))

Up here in Warwick, it was another very pleasant day even with the late
afternoon thunder!
