Predictions as usual via email with midnight on June 30th the deadline. 

I'm going for a warmer than average 17.89c

Well done Scillydave. Just stickied it for you. 

🙂🙂🙂

I'll go for.   18.0C. A warm one I reckon. 

🙂🙂🙂🙂

I’ll go for 18.2c.  I think it’s going to be very warm but not quite a record breaker.  

Sorry Dave, I can’t find your email address.  🙄 

The email for CET entries is [email protected]

I'll go for 18.3, please Dave. Another comfortably above average month for this year.

I will go for 17.65c 

Couldnt find your email address, it would be good to add it on the first post.

Pershore looks to be over reporting today it's about 3 or 4c higher than anything else in the area.  It's one of the 3 sites used for the CET I believe. 

 What happens with the CET if one site is dodgy???

That kicks things off well. 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Interesting Snowman. I keep noticing how Lakenheath is at least a couple of degrees higher than surrounding stations, especially Mildenhall which is practically next door. Not going to affect CET of course but makes me wonder when stations stick out a bit who checks.

Yes Lakenheath is notoriously dodgy and the Met Office don't use it. I haven't noticed Pershore be to high before, so maybe it's a one off. 

Neither Lakenheath and Mildenhall are official climate stations - they are just air bases with METARS. Relatively few of the airport stations are used by the Met - Heathrow, Bournemouth and Dyce are notable exceptions of course. I'm sure there are others.

As for Pershore, it maxed at 26.0C which is 2.0C higher than nearby Pershore College (24.0 max).

Yesterday it was 28.5C vs 28.4C at the College.

And on Monday it was 32.0C vs 31.9C at the College.

So it only seems like today was questionable.

Interesting. I thought the Pershore site was at Pershore College. I didn't realise there were 2 in that area 

I must say I am not sure. There are two sites on Weatherobs: Pershore Automatic and Pershore College.

The Met Office daily extremes page lists Pershore as the high with 26.0C which is the Automatic station. They seem to have accepted it.

Interestingly James Peacock on X ( who is Stormchaser here I believe???) suggesting Pershore's high temp was caused by a foehn (adiabatic) type wind from the Welsh hills.

Pershore seems OK today - 4pm reading was exactly the same as the College, and 1.5C lower than Astwood Bank a little way to the north.

I was expecting a 20c+ guess to appear this time . Surprisingly narrow range ... 

I reckon I haven't gone high enough given some charts I've seen.  🙂🙂🙂

I looked this up and you are right that Pershore College is the CET site. The one that seemed to read anomalously warm on Wednesday was Pershore Automatic (26.0C vs 24.0C at the College site).

Also looking at the all-time list, I thought 2006 was 19.7C but now shows as 19.8. Has it been adjusted?

I know I haven't gone high enough 🤣

😆😆😆😆
