The current temperature variations around the country seem to illustrate the

considerable differences from place to place in certain weather conditions .

Today for instance my temp goes up and down with every passing cloud ,as my

screen is on a south facing slope which before the trees come into leaf gets

a good cooking at this time of the year .

At George Booths Epping site about 6 miles north of here ,his 1140z temp was

3.7c whilst mine 5.6c !,which I think raises several questions about the

validity of record breaking events throughout the years.

The 2003 August 10th heatwave record seemed to be dependent on which side of

a hedge the screen was positioned,and I noticed that day a variation im my

garden of nearly 3 degrees dependent of where my thermometers were placed.

As there are millions of variations as to where thermometers can be placed

( excluding the obvious rude ones) perhaps we can take some records with a

large pinch of salt ??.

Stephen Burt of COL and Philip Eden have done some work on this I think so I

would not be so presumptious as to question their findings of course .

I won't link it as I don't want to be responsible for what you'll see. Be it your fingers on the mouse buttons.

Very hot micro climate though.
