Bingley warmest yesterday 13.5C - don't think so.
Incidentally, on the MO site they publish the days max/mins etc around 2300,
what period does this cover?

Dave,
Bingley is quite high and above the inversion so it could be correct -
we almost touched 10C today. It does appear to be yet another Quality
Control / AWS error, though.
The 23Z readings refer to the 24hr ending 18hr (I think clock time, not
GMT) that day.
