I doubt any who frequent this ng would be surprised if that were the case.
I was intrigued a few weeks ago, when so many doubts were raised here about
the seemingly anomalous maxima, that within a day or two *it* seemed to have
come into line with nearby stations.

* indicates my emphasis on the word "it"

How can a reading 'come into line' with others nearby at a later date?
Surely the reading they provide on the day is the 'official' one, how can
they change it later?

What I meant (but didn't explain clearly) was *subsequent* warm days didn't
show the marked excess over nearby stations (say Pershore), that had been
shown on those few days when people here where questioning the maxima.
IIRC there was an apparent discrepancy of about 3C - this seemed to
disappear on later days.

In other words my use of "it" referred not to the maxima on those really
warm days, but to the station itself.

Quite astonishing it has taken officialdom to wake up to the
incredibly
anomalous weather in a tiny area of the City of Worcester. A
standing joke
with the locals for over twenty years by my reckoning.




As one of the (ex) locals, I would concur that the more perceptive
among us were unable to take the guy seriously. I'm not a weather
buff, and you chaps on the ng would know more about the stats etc, but
on a subjective note, when it came to extremes of any kind, Mr
Damari's forecasts, when put in context with other sources, appeared
to be imaginative, and sometimes downright sensationalist.

Damari was the guy who recorded the 37.1 all time record, so was that
official or not?

No he wasn't it was a guy called Frank Ford, but he did make 37.0 on that
day, and an official 36.6 the day before. Does that still count, or is it
suspect?
