Where are you getting the 81 - 10 averages from? (Not saying they're wrong but they seem a bit different to what I've got recorded)

I think the sensible figure is the month to date one. In the first half of the year the temperatures are likely (caveat: some recent months swim upstream on this) to be lower than later. Therefore it's really useful to know how we compare to the same time in other years. So thanks to Gavin  for this. 

But agree it's not easy to compare when one 3 decade period is used in a different way to another. 

Thanks. 👍

The ones I used above are for the month as a whole.

Thanks. I've used the monthly ones available here:

Both you & I would do pretty well out of that!

If we get a proper heatwave at the end of the month I reckon there would be a good chance of beating the all time record of 15.1C, which is in itself over a degree higher than the 2nd placed month.

Effortlessly warm without any remarkable synoptics.  Definitely feels more like June than May this month.

Only one day with a max below the old 61-90 mean - it's been a prolonged warm spell...
