Recorded a minimum last night of 17.2°C making it the highest minimum
temperature since September 6th 2006 (17.7C).

Minimum temperatures above 17°C happen very infrequently in this rural,
valley location but it is usually between now and mid-September that the
warmest nights of the year occur, probably due to the sea being at its
warmest.

The warmth of the nights this year is in contrast to 2007 when the whole
summer seemed to be dominated by cool/cold nights with very few (if any)
warm nights.

Monthly minimum temperatures for 2007/08:
Mean Low High
May 07 7.8°C 0.7°C 13.0°C
May 08 10.2°C 4.8°C 14.4°C

Jun 07 11.1°C 6.7°C 13.8°C
Jun 08 10.1°C 5.1°C 15.7°C

Jul 07 11.3°C 5.7°C 15.0°C
Jul 08 12.6°C 7.7°C 17.1°C

Aug 07 10.6°C 5.9°C 15.5°C
Aug 08 13.6°C 7.4°C 17.2°C

Sep 07 9.1°C 4.1°C 14.3°C

August 2007 was particularly cool at night, I suspect the high incidence
of cloudy nights this month have prevented night-time temperatures
dropping.
