Cumulus Support

Looking at the temperatures for the period June - September it’s remarkable how close to the mean they are. A variation of 0.4°C overall.

When the warming factor of my site is taken into account - +0.8°C it suggests all four months have had below average temperatures. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues for the rest of the year.

Anyone else seeing similar trends?

Thanks to @Mapantz and @rogerthn for their reports. Both warmer than my location.

Have you determined if your site has a warming effect? My garden is surrounded on three sides by housing. Think of a horse shoe with my garden at the six o’clock position.

Looking at my season averages they are 0.8°C above the 30 year Met Office readings. We can’t all setup our stations in accordance with their guidelines. I do the best I can.

If you take away that warming effect the last four months have been far cooler than normal.

Last 4 months here all below average and tie in well with the nearest official station at Hurn in Dorset .

Mine are similar to Ray's results - we are in the same area of UK!

I live in a rural area - nearest neighbour about 400 metres away - surrounded by fields.

Very interesting Phil. Just goes to show the warming effect in my area. Nothing you can do about it of course.

It will be interesting to see how long this “cooling period” lasts.

Temperatures here in Cheshire continue to be close to the monthly averages. This is the sixth month of them being within 1°C.

And to reinforce this cooler period I’ve just recorded the coldest November night for 14 years. -4.8°C.
