My local AWS Which is convieniently about 3 roads away showing 21.7c [lol]

[Chris Alder]

Remember the daily record is 23.3C so maybe given the 11Z temps the chances of that going now are 50-75%.

And that record goes back to 1892 in Southampton. Tomorrows looks ripe to fall

Is that your site above jcb ?? If so it is only 0.7 Miles from the official reading site the METO Use.

Showing 23.4c at 1425pm

Certainly an incredible day for early April, these are mid to late June temps surely ? 

 

[Dave W]

They are even a little above the averages for the warmest time of the year in early August

[jcbmetman]

Indeed, my site. I'm not sure whether METO use Southend Aiport or Shoeburyness - the Airport site is closer to me - but about 2.5 miles away.

Heck of a contrast to yesterday with my site max of 10.9 °C under heavy overcast and a cool wind!

[Dave W]

We are close to the all time record.. of 23.3 on 6th April 1892
