Given the repeated return of warm weather this summer, another 80F+
beyond this current spell wouldn't surprise me too much. The LRF set-up
still seems favourable to the possibility.

That is my hunch too. I suspect that the continuing high pressure
dominated weather still has a few weeks to run before the atmosphere
finally gets it out of it's system. I'm going for a last fling of summer
in the first few days of October, low 20's possibly nudging 25C in the
south. Then by mid month autumn wind and rain sweeping in. Then
at the end of the month high pressure returning but this time with frost.
This then leads us in nicely into TWO's forecast of a cold November

I think I've sussed it out - the weather is controlled by my
subconscious.

It always does exactly the opposite of what my conscious mind wants
(like Arnold Rimmer in the Red Dwarf episode 'Better Than Life').

Well I hope your subconcious is thinking of a nasty mild, wet and boring winter!

ISTM this year must have had the longest period between first & last

1959 might be in contention. The first one was probably some time in
May, the last one in early October, IIRC.

What's the earliest & latest date that 80F has been recorded anywhere in
the UK? My guess would be early Apr/mid Oct.
