The CET is only derived from 3 stations though, one of which is Pershore Throckmorton, so that's the one to watch. And in cold weather it tends to be colder than anywhere else on the Midlands .....
Must be more than 3 surely? Apart from anything else, the area shown covered by the CET is a quadrilateral, 3 stations only gives you a triangle
It's supposed to be 3, and was historically, but some of the stations closed I think so now they are calculated as the mean of two others, or something. The CET is a bit of a movable feast.

The Met Office have also been compiling Maximum, Minimum and Mean Daily Central England Temperatures data files since January 1878. The following stations are used by the Met Office to compile the CET data:Rothamsted, Malvern, Squires Gate and Ringway.
But in November 2004, the weather station Stonyhurst replaced Ringway and revised urban warming and bias adjustments have now been applied to the Stonyhurst data after a period of reduced reliability from the station in the summer months.
