Don't know quite where you draw the line for the south, but Copley
figures are showing a sunny, dry and mild month. (1971-2000 av)

Mean max 6.7C (+1.0C)
Mean min 0.6C (+0.1C)
Mean 3.6C (+0.5C)

Rain 25.4mm (31%)

Sunshine 77.2hr (161%)

Interesting thread for this Holiday Monday!

Coventry data (up to 1800hr Monday) comparable to Ken's above:

Mean max :7.9C (+0.3C)
Mean min : 2.5C(+0.2C)

Mean so far : 5.2C (+0.2C) but bound to be warmer after the next few
days!

Rain total: 10.8mm (20%)
Sun total : 59.2hr (141%)

So, no Alex, it has been slightly milder than 1971-2000 average so far
for us, so it will be the 11th month with above average temperatures
during 2004 down here - July being the only negative anomaly.
