It certainly did this time Jon, with what is promised for years to come
the
bookies had better re-adjust their odds. Most they win, few they lose.

Best regards. Len.

Well that's ok as long as they lengthen the White Christmas ones at the same
time :-)

Jon.

As far as I am concerned my Oregon Scientific is what I take notice of and
if somebody told me it was wrong then so what

Len, what did you get for your max in Basildon? My Oregon got reset by my
wife (Grrr!)

Not after I deduct the costs of 1 Bunsen burner and the petrol to Gravesend
(via Heathrow) ;-)

You're not going to leave us in suspense now, are you Jon? Tell the

Hi Dave and all,
Well! That's probably the most replies to one of my posts ever!!!
Apologies if I wasn't clear...I personally had thought, for some
reason, that Gravesend was not official...I thought it was a rooftop
site, but after asking a few questions, found out it wasn't! It wasn't
a TORRO or Met Office investigation, just a personal one!!

Sorry if I caused any misunderstanding!


What is the definition of an "official" site?

Best regards. Len.

Jon and all,
The confusion arose as Gravesend is an unusual split site, where the
observations are taken from the rooftop. Hence, I'd got confused,
thinking that the temperatures were also taken from the rooftop, as at
say, London, which would have made it non-standard. I now realise that
this is not the case...perfectly simple, really!

cheers,

PaulK.

Hi all,
After an investigation, we've come to the conclusion that Gravesend is
an official site,

I'm puzzled by this statement Paul as others appear to be. Gravesend is an
official Met Office climatoligical station
http://www.metoffice.com/climate/uk/.../climnet2.html
Why was "an investigation" needed and who exactly performed it ?

Cheers,
Jon.
