July 18th 2013 we reached +29.8C in Haytor - awesome. Night min. only
got down to +13.7C as well, so a restless night in the warmth.
Mean max. was +22.9C 4.3 degrees above normal. What a month.
August was cooler at +20.3C but still above normal.

That was a most memorable July!

My maximum on the 18th was 28.8C with the hottest day being 30.5C on the
13th. The mean maximum for whole month was 24.9C. August's mean maximum
was 22.7C and was another dry and sunny month.

The most remarkable feature of that July was the peristently sunny skies
clocking up 328 hours of sunshine. The were 18 consecutively cloudless
days from the 5th to the 22nd!

I thought it would never end - shame it did.

It was a notable month in Tideswell, too. The mean max of 23.3 was 3.4 deg above
average. 183 hours of sun was 138% of average. Perhaps the most striking feature
of the month was the very skewed rainfall distribution. The first 3 weeks of the
month produced almost no rain at all then it poured down during the last 10
days, making it the wettest July I have recorded here, with a total of 170 mm.
Most remarkable of all was 89 mm of rain falling in 8 hours during the night of
27th/28th.
