Default Possible record coming up?

I agree, I was really referring to the emerging phenomenon of these
daily records being broken being reported by the press as cataclysmic

Agreed.

the 13th June business is just a statistical anomaly
(albeit interesting to statisticians if not climatologists)

Heh, well, I did do some stats at university, so that might explain it! And
as it happens, here's another vaguely interesting point: if that 32°C at
Heathrow yesterday is confirmed, then it looks as though it will be a
record for 12th June.
