Default Solent - phew what a scorcher!


Just down the road Solent MRSC reported 23.6 deg C at 1400 BST (though
the Met Office site says it was 1400 UTC, which I doubt) so 24 degrees
C *is on the cards there, Hurn too where it was 23..8 at 1400 BST.

Phew, what a scorcher!

I'm off out into the sun now...

Dave,

Something looks odd to me with these hourly temperatures at Solent
MRSC via the Met Office site.

1100 BST 17.0 C Wind NNE 2 mph.
1200 BST 17.7 C Wind CALM.
1300 BST 23.6 C Wind NNE 8 mph.

That hourly rise of almost 6 C takes some explaining. A possible cause
could have been a temporary drift from the sea around about midday
when the sea breeze tried to develop, but was thwarted by a sudden
burst of air from inland.
