Default Warmest at Leeming: 21.6°C

Philip
Not too far down the road, (45mile) but always cooler,except in some winter
situations
Farsley Leeds max 17.5 C. So I was a bit surprised at this max.

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,
