This one's intriguing (16.4 isn't the equivalent of a whole number
fahrenheit)
but Coventry was appearing in the MWR by this time, and it is given as
56°F. If this is your station, Steve, then the observation has been
quality controlled.

Again, clearly written in the log by hand, it records 61.5F as the
maximum, with 47F as the dry bulb at 0900hr; however, I don't think
our record was in the MWR then, so will go by that as a mis-reading
thanks Philip = however, we also have a 57.5F on the 14th!

What did you get in Cheltenham, Paul?
