:That's close to the record for a low max in August. 31st August 1978
:springs to mind with 12s and 13s all over eastern England and the Midlands,
:and possibly the odd 11 as well.

These are just the lowest max. temps that appear in the SYNOPs of course -
apart from Copley.

I see that Leeds-Bradford Airport - for example - reported hourly
temperatures of only 10 or 11°C for most of the day
