August has been quite a respectable month for weather here. Apart from the
dryness, it looks like being the warmest for 5 years ( the mean is more
than 1deg.c above the 1971-2000 average) and the summer's mean is very
close to ' normal'.

Does that include 2005 too incidentally? Shows what a difference 50
