Was down at Solent again today between 1600BST and 1900BST and checked
the shade temperature in an area upto half a mile inland and at both
ends of the town. I found that it was 23C (rounded) in the entire area
as I arrived at 1600, falling below 22.5 between 1630 and 1700 and
below 22 at around 1730. Using the same thermometer and method, the
temperature at home 5 miles inland was 22 deg C (rounded) as I set off
at 1545 and this was the day's maximum here so yet again, it was a
degree lower here than on the coast.

With a brisk nor'easter, today's session was much easier than
yesterday and what I recorded is consistent with the reported max of
23.3C at Solent MRSC which probably occurred very close to 1600 BST.
The Hurn figures are also supportive, for a change. I think any
Stevenson screen effect today would have been insignificant because of
the brisk wind.

I'm not going to do this every day but it's been a darned good excuse
to get down to the beach while it's been "July in April!"
