Damn - they spoiled my hat-trick : 26.1C yesterday.

I must confession to a degree of scepticism about your readings, Paul,
so often do they seem to be the highest in the country. Are you
confident of the accuracy of your thermometer, the quality of the
screen, and that the screen is not in an exceptionally sheltered
location?
