Ken, this is bizarre. As far as I can tell, the original SYNOP gave
a
max of 17.4ºC, but a "correction" was subsequently transmitted
changing the max to 21.6ºC which was confirmed at 2100 by
the climat. report (hence its appearance in the various lists).

21.6ºC is manifestly wrong; 17.4ºC is clearly much righter ... and
I'm surprised there was no human intervention to correct the
"correction". I cannot for the life of me figure out where that
21.6 came from.

We're fortunate here in that Leeming has three other
observing sites within a stone's throw, and their maxes on
Friday we 17.6, 18.4 and 18.1.

Hi, Philip,

Thanks for that. As you say, bizarre. I only hope that the info they
feed into their Tornado fighters is more accurate, as they are just
missing Copley at the moment. A Harrier did come down in a field two
miles away a few years ago, though!

Best wishes,

OT but on thursday night I was lying in bed just before midnight and what
sounded like a fighter plane came very low over our house heading west, it
obviously then had to climb steeply to get over Haytor Down at 400m. I must
confess for a few seconds I wondered if it was going to hit us.
