Understatement of the year!

Gravesend has absolutey nothing going for it; the best way to see the
place is in your rear-view mirror.

I don't know if it's significant to the aforementioned readings, but the
weather recording station is on a Port of London Authority radio mast at
Broadness , a couple of miles west of Gravesend (probably slightly nearer
Greenhithe, actually).

I am sure Gravesend does have a microclimate. It certainly tends to be a
degree or so warmer than me and I am only 15 miles away on the North side of
the Thames. It is also in the region of the record high temperature. I also
look at the Wunderground weather station at Chalk, Gravesend, and for
example that is currently showing 17.5C against my 16.4C. It also is an area
of low rainfall, like me, with only 29mm so far this month.
Nevertheless 22.4C seems unlikely as I only got 18.7C as max and am only 15
miles away.
