Even so, something still sounds 'off'.

Hi Paul

Hmmm, I would have thought that my results would have been similar to yours
in Cheltenham but as you hint at, the maximums are rather high.

I have a couple of remote electronic thermometers which at the moment I
don't use. I will place them in the Stephenson Screen and compare the
readings with the mercury thermometers over the next few weeks.

I can't really place the screen itself anywhere better as it is away from my
house and isn't near any trees etc.

My readings seem comparable to others posted on this NG, such as those
from
Epping, Cheltenham etc.

Not in terms of the monthly maximum.

I have spoken to Philip Eden about my 'high' values. I do have a south
facing sheltered garden and he reckons that certain aspects can 'cook' on
sunny, calm days. This does not explain why my values are high at this
time
of year when the sun's strength is weak, or the winter. My thermometers
have
been calibrated and are the MetO approved sheathed min & max type placed
in
a Stephenson Screen.
