Yes, the absolute peak is late July/early August so I believe. That's
when the very highest temperatures seem to be recorded anyway.

The average hottest-day-of-the-year here (1984-2012) is July
19. It actually fell on that day in 2006. I was rather surprised to
find that the hottest day of the year is almost uniformly distributed
between June (9 cases), July (10) and August (9) with one in
September. Earliest was June 7 (1996) and the latest September 1
(1991).


If I remember rightly - and it was 48 years ago I worked on this - 19th
July was also the date I calculated was the time of maximum temperature
in the Arctic and near-Arctic (comprising any station whose normal
temperature fell below 0C). The date was only accurate to +/-5 days as
it had to coincide with the end of of 10-day periods that began on 1st
January; similarly, the minimum temperature occurred on 20th January.
