I'm wondering how long that Bordon site has been reporting. I'd imagine that it can only be a year or two, as otherwise an implied long-term January mean of 7.84 seems absurdly high.

Thanks. If that is the Bordon near Alton in Hampshire - which is the only one that I know of - then I suspect that there might be something wrong somewhere, either with the thermometer, the screen or that it's in a very enclosed site. That anomaly seems well out of line with anything from any other site.

Thanks. I see that you've now dropped Bordon, which seems sensible.

I know the experts in this thread expect a substantial downwards correction, but that's a disappointingly high figure. I was expecting/hoping it to be close to 4.0c by now, with a downwards correction toward the mid-3's

Actually, I’m surprised it isn’t lower.

Today's CET came in at -1.9C after a very cold night last night. Only three days during the Beast from the East last year were colder than that.

My final CET estimate for January is 3.90C.

A tale of two halves:

1-16 Jan 5.26C (+0.70C)

17-31 Jan 2.46C (-2.03C)

My figures are 0.49C below Hadley (as of 30th Hadley is at 4.59C and I was at 4.10C). So a 0.2C fall on the final day of the month.

Overall we are just over 0.5C below the 1981-2010 mean.

Please may I ask that people don't use the term "CET" when referring to their own local temperature record. The acronym stands for Central England Temperature, and even if using it loosely rather than referring to the official series it shouldn't be applied outside that geographical area.

The Mean of My 10 watched stations for January came in at  4.91c.  Anomaly   -0.8c.  

Can we use ART's figure for the CET competition this time, please?
