despite the rain and wind ....
 

.... based on Hurn airport (Dorset - MetO/24hr) data, the provisional
mean 24hr temperature as of 09Z this morning (27th) was 14.2°C (+2.5C
1971-2000 LTA). The previous highest mean May temperature (based on
the data listed on the MetO 'historical' site) was also 14.2°C in
1998, in a data record from 1957 incl.

We've got a few days to go, but it should either hold at that value,
or creep up above it.

With the 43 mm of rain at Hurn over the past 3 days, the total for the
month is now rather healthy, representing 111% of the LTA, whereas
before the weekend, is was going to be a dry month. [ for info, 48 mm
here in West Moors, but a non-standard site.]

39.2mm over here in Hilton. Interesting to compare with the VP down
the road at work ( 1.5miles east) on Thursday..very similar usually
but when inside a showery regime, the differences either way, become
slightly greater.

Another 12mm maybe Wednesday morning..
