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.

.... as of 14th, the provisional CET was 20.0degC, an anomaly on the
6190 set of +4.2degC, or on the 7100 set of +3.8degC. Although we
should now 'relax' more to the average values across the CET domain,
it looks unlikely to become significantly lower than average, and
there are indications that values may climb again several degrees
above ....

.... what is more interesting to my mind is the running *annual*
anomaly of around +1.4degC up to the 14th: If we carry on like this,
we will drive a 'coach and horses' through the previous record annual
CET values (set in 1949, 1990, 1999 & 2002)... 1990 and 1999
technically the highest with 10.63degC.
