Ian

I quite agree with you. There seems to be many more 30+days in these summers
and this would be of interest to know how 2003 compares with other good summers
or others with 30+days.

It seems incredible when compared to those summers 1954, 1956 1958 that had so
few days even above 22

Remember that with the exception of 1959, the 1950's and 1960's were
devoid of good summers. However, if you go even further back, I think
you will find that 30C+ days were still pretty common in the past:

Here are some figures on 30C+ days in Coventry:

2003 3
1997 4
1996 3
1995 10
1990 4
1989 3
1983 5
1976 13
1975 4
1947 5
1933 2
1921 4
1911 8
1893 11

Years not mentioned + either 1 or 0

Hope this helps with your 'debate'.

Many thanks Steve,

Actually the figures you show to slant towards what I was driving at. 1975
to 2003 you have 9 entries
whereas in the preceding 82 years you have 5 entries. Actually I do take
your point if we go back into the 19th century. I was looking at the
Greenwich record and for 1868 there were 16 occasions though the screen
there was non standard. Nonetheless it was a hot summer.

I was looking for a sun spot cycle in the figures and noticed that all the
figures are 5 or less except 1995 and 1976 which are 19 years apart and 1893
and 1911 which are 18 years apart. I wonder if there is an 18.5 year cycle
somewhere :-?


Lunar nodal cycle, Alastair :-)?

Well it repeats after 1976 - 1893 years. That's 83. So 83 must be the
lowest common multiplier of 18.5 and another cycle which is a multiple
of approx 4.5 years. So we are looking for another cycle of around
5, 9, 27, or possibly 83 years. Any ideas Mike?

Cheers, Alastair.
