An amateur site just a mile or so down the road was measuring
temperatures
2-3c
lower in hot weather and 2-3c higher in cold weather. You can make your
own
mind up as to why this was occuring but the latest I hear is that the
observer
Mr Paul Demari had his card well and truly marked by the Met Office and
the
data has since been registered as null and void!

Col gasped: What, the entire Barbourne data series has been
expunged
from the official records?

I always wondered why me neck of the woods always seemeed to get into the
news regarding temperature extremes in the UK! All has been revealed.......
