Cool though! UK maxes struggling to get near 20C, compared to the date
record a week ago and many areas well below that. Bridlington, of all
places, warmest in the UK at 0800 this morning! Such a turn-around
from last weekend. CET down to 14.6C, +4.1C (http://www.climate-
uk.com/) and it will fall further over the coming week.

I have been following the Metcheck CET
*http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/month.asp

I know it's not the *real* CET but the temperatures correlate
remarkably well, being just 0.1C apart. However the anolmolies
are a whole degree apart, clearly Metcheck have been using a
different (and presumably later) standard period with wich to
compare as they are on +3.1C and the real CET is +4.1C.

HI Col,

Philip compares the current CET on the 16th, to the average CET to the
16th. metcheck don't, they compare their CET (very close to Philip's;
they use stations in the same area, but not the same stations) to the
CET for May as a whole, which, by the 31st May, on average, is higher
than it is on the 16th. Thus their anomaly is lower. I hope I've got
that right. I'm sure Philip would explain it better!
