Lol, can I spell snobbbbery... now to the real reason why ;=) . Every
location has it's 'differences'.
There must have been thousands of gardens in Kent approaching 39C.
LOL Phillip, I knew you would have to be involved.

The August issue is a special issue on the summer heatwave and drought of
2003.
If any newsgroup members do not receive 'Weather' (dare I insert a
'smiley'
here?) - and would like this one - the print run has been extended to
allow
individual copies to be purchased at £3.95 each. Enquiries can be made to
the
publishers, the Royal Meteorological Society, at e-mail
or
give them a call on 0118 9568500. .

The issue is 44 pages long and contain the following articles:
The August 2003 heatwave in the UK (Stephen Burt)
The heatwave in Europe - synoptic diagnosis and impacts (Andreas Fink, et
al,
Cologne)
Factors contributing to the heatwave (Emily Black et al)
Hydrological aspects of the drought in the UK (Terry Marsh).

Readers may have noticed that Stephen Burt does not accept the UK national
temperature record set last year at Faversham. The reasons for this are
set out
in a further article in the September issue (in which Stephen joins forces
with
Philip Eden) and this is followed by a reply by the Met Office.
