Every chance now of next week turning out the best of the year so
far.


But how much of an achievement would that really be?

Better than it has been. *))

I've just taken 8/1 on 90F, or higher in July and covered it with a
smaller bet on 87-90F in July at 7/1. I don't actually think that
either temperature will be achieved, but, then again, I'm not betting
at evens. What I think is that 30C will be achieved, but 7/1 is very
good odds on a temperature 0.55C higher being achieved and 8/1 is good
odds on a temperature of 2.2C higher being achieved.
