Well care to explain??


I think the best I can do is to refer you to my post of the 25th of July
which was queried by Will but I only retain posts for 48 hours so I
don't have his reply to hand. A search of the archives should find it.

I've done a bit of digging but can find nothing authoritative which
gives a confirming or better explanation but I can only report what I
record.

Our nearest official reporting stations are Glasgow Airport and Glasgow
Bishopton both of which have a much more open aspect than do we. In
sunny weather in the summer our recorded temperatures are consistently
higher than both. Having said that, they are currently 20°C and 19°C
respectively and we are 19.8°

For what it's worth, here are our recorded mean max temperatures for the
last twelve Julys:-

2003 20.9
2004 18.8
2005 20.0
2006 23.6
2007 19.5
2008 20.2
2009 20.8
2010 18.6
2011 21.4
2012 18.3
2013 22.9
2014 22.1

It would be interesting to see yours.

Next time we have an extreme, I'll post both the Glasgow's and ours.

HTH but it would be nice to have some 'official' confirmation.
