UK max. temps on Thursday http://tinyurl.com/3p6y4p

Glen Ogle 4.5°C, Loch Glascarnoch 6.5°C, Lake Vyrnwy and Donna Nook
6.9°C, Copley 7.2°C, Spadeadam 7.4°C, Eskdalemuir 7.5°C.

I'm beginning to wonder about Glen Ogle. Its maxima recently seem often
to have been some 2 degrees colder than anywhere else. The Wikipedia
article on Glen Ogle doesn't suggest that it's at a particularly high
altitude, so I wonder if there could be some problem with the
temperature sensor.

I take that back. Searching on the Met Office site, I've found that the
weather station is at an elevation of 564 m above mean sea level, in
other words some 1500ft. I imagine it's well up the side of the glen
rather than at the foot.
