Default This August CET

Now we are half way through August it is perhaps time to think about

what
the CET maybe for this month.
Although I have not kept written records. From what I have seen so

far,
at a reasonable guess I would say my mean is in excess of 21C. There

have
been no single figure minimums. I have had 7 days with maximums in

excess of
30. 4 of those have been in excess of 32C with a 34 and a 38. Those

days
with maximums over 30 were followed by minimums of between 16 and 18

so it
stands to reason what the mean is for those.
August 1st so far is the only cool day I have had.
From looking at forecasts for the next week or so it seems that

the
intense heat will not be repeated. This will not be an August like

1995.
Anyway it is still too early to say. I wonder what others think.

My mean monthly temperature is currently 22°C up to 0900 hrs on the 14th
so the actual will be slightly higher. It will drop given that it less
hot but it is likely that this August will be exceptionally warm given
the forecasts.
