Hi, Stephen,

How do these stand compared with record daily extremes for this
country? I think Rickmansworth had 28.3C back in the 1930s, but did
Tulloch Bridge record -5C to 25C (30degC) sometime in the 1970s? There
must be ranges approaching these records during this current spell. I
wonder what Redhill's figures are - I assume it is still open, just
not used by Met O any more.

Copley Lead Mill had 25.6degC yesterday (1.9C min 27.5C max) and
Copley Met O site had 24.2degC (from 3.7C ,grass -3.3C, to 27.9C)

These large ranges remind me of the 1976 summer.

Think it was Tummel Bridge, -7C to 22C May 1978

I've never recorded more than a 19C daily range at my plateau site
