I thought the Solent figure was out of place among all the others -
but you know better than me that the place has its own micro-climate !

Yes, that's for sure, I just get irritated by it occasionally, when it
goes mad. Yes it is a hot spot but only a SW facing small front garden
is going to be *that* hot.

I am sure the Met Office quality control people will have noticed the
situation, well if they could get the screen moved 100 yards or so
onto to the adjacent airfield, the problem would be solved.
