I've always kept separate 09-09 and 09-21-09 figures, and some
time ago I needed to tabulate them, so I now have 25 years' worth
of records for Luton using both methods. The figures below show
day max minus 24h max, and night min minus 24h min (degC):

Thanks - that saved me asking which months would be most/least affected.
