Hi there Warren

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

Seems quite possible to me. Reached 24.6 in Penzance, looked like it
was going to be warmer, then some high cloud arrived.

The trouble is there are so few MetO stations, and they tend to not be
typical, many are windblown airports. In West Cornwall we have Culdrose
& ST Mawgan, both very exposed clifftops where the weather can bear
little resemblence to that a 2 miles away at sea level. Yesterday
Culdrose (the nearest to me) was 2 - 3 degrees lower, which is what I'd
expect.

As far as I am aware there is only LOW LEVEL MetO station on the 70 or
so miles of the south coast of Cornwall, and I'm not aware of any on
the north coast, which is even longer. One thing you can be sure of,
there are going to be many places warmer than the warmest MetO station.
