I'm guessing Southampton is going to have got the same sort of
temperatures as Romsey, just up the road, maybe a few 10ths of a
degree warmer - but it shows that this really was quite a notable cold
month in rural south Hampshire, with the *absolute* average maximum
temperature being lower than inland Bracknell or Reading. It must be
extremely unusual for that to occur - and I'm not sure why this
happened either!
