Joe ... it has looked quite iffy since the weekend. Between June 1 and
July 20 Charlwood averaged 0.2 degC below Wisley (on hot Thu
it was exactly 0.2 degC below coincidentally). Since then it has been
+1.4 on Fri, +1.0 on Sun, +1.3 on Mon and +1.2 on Tue. There were
odd occasions before with differences of +1.0 or more, but never
several days in a row.

I'm actually more concerned about Thurleigh (Bedford) which
appears to have shifted sharply on July 5, possibly as a result of
an excessively adjacent lightning strike during the storm on
July 4. From June 1 to July 4 Bedford averaged 0.5 degC below
nearby Woburn, but from July 5 onwards 0.6 degC above.
The daily figures are very consistent, and this is a clear step change.
Reference to other sites indicates that the fault is in the Thurleigh
record, not the Woburn one.

Is Bisley a slip for Wisley - they are both in the locality!

Yes, I meant Wisley. It's definitely not Disley, because
that's in Lancashire....

Not when I lived 'down the road' it wasn't! Disley was and I think
still is in Cheshire, on the A6 and adjacent to the Stockport boundary
of South Eastern Greater Manchester.

As for Wisley, I enjoyed a nice Hayley Westenra picnic concert there a
few weeks ago and as you would expect, the weather was... perfect.
The music wasn't bad either!

Back on topic, well nearly, Disley is a mere 5 miles NE of Woodford
airfield and SYNOP station. which leads me to a question:

Why isn't Woodford reported on the SYNOP sites I visit? OGIMET and
our very own Keith's www.southendweather.net (which is presumably the
fault of his SYNOP data source) ? I'd have thought Woodford had been
open long enough now for this to have filtered though. Is it publicly
reported anywhere? Or is it top secret?

I suspect it is. Don't forget that the hottest last
Wednesday was actually at Bisley, 0.2 degC warmer than Charlwood and
also in Surrey. For the moment, Surrey is the new Cheltenham

Hey, we only missed by 0.4C...
