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.


Too early as you say. But a week ago, when I last updated my spreadsheet, my
average was nearly 23C, 6 degrees above the mean CET. Being in a suburban
location outside Leicester, I usually beat the CET, but not by that much.

I would expect that this wil come down but IMO there is a real possibility
that the CET for this month will be above the 1995 record of 19.20C
