Lovely in Sydenham SE London this afternoon and I warned all the local
Pound Shops to keep their fine selection of plastic home ware indoors,
lest they melt. I have to say though it did get above 70f in my back
garden but my thermometer was quite close to the garden brazier I got
going early evening.

Pretty much 70F round here. Me, 20.9C, Corringham 21.2C, Wanstead 20.8C



of local stations I regularly look at.

So you actually reached 70F today?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Well 21C is usually quoted as 70F. I'm not sure without re-doing the

calculation whether to one decimal place that is 20.9C or 21.1C or

whatever. I don't record in fahrenheit anyway, like I said, It was 20.9C

here.

You know I've never heard about the Gravesend site before but now every
time I clock onto UKMO 24 HR obs I get

"Gravesend-Broadness"

I find the UKMO software either patronising in the way it assumes that you
are only interested in your locality and makes that choice for you ; or in
this case just damned weird or sinister that every time I visit UKMO this
evening and choose 24obs

"Gravesend-Broadness"

Now after searching I see that under 'regional extremes' that
Gravesend-Broadness was the highest for yesterday - is that why ukmo is
seemingly promoting the reading? Its all very odd why would that happen. I
mean why is the UKMO website data so locally driven and yet they are always
on about the 'globe' as in models and temperatures ?
