And STILL those mid-teens type temperatures over East Kent.

Yeah, GFS always exaggerates the coastal cooling effect.

Hence my "negative" thinking about it all as far as this end of Kent is concerned, but it might be a IMBY thing more than anything.
Nonetheless, it would be interesting to see how things does pan out one way or the other, in terms of it being a learning process as I continue to get to grips with our flickle climate.
If it does turn out fine, warm and sunny then excellent as I put everything to one side and try and enjoy it, but on the other hand if it does turn out to be cool and misty more often than not then I wouldn't be surprised.
