Creeping up slowly also shows that 80% of the month has passed, solidifying the mean close to where it is. For every day now above the current mean, it only has a 4% impact on the mean, reducing. So above 17C now, a 22C mean would only incur 4% (1/25) of the 5C difference- 0.2C.

Will be interesting to see what the august cet finishes at,maybe around 17c?

In this area it is the best August since 2004,dry,plenty of sunshine and a mean temp,currently 18.4c.Very Pleasant

For me it could be the best since 2003. A few more days of warmth here in the south, but of course the CET depends on the more northerly CET stations too. Close to, maybe just above 17 I reckon.

The current stations are the Met Office representation of the stations that Prof Manley used to construct his history of UK temperature going back to 1659

They are of interest to climatologists studying UK climate change over the centuries but even the Met Office use UK national and regional analyses and not CET in most of their public pronouncements

Whether the Met Office version of CET reflects the actual stations used by Prof Manley is another issue and Philip Eden was often critical of whether these 3 stations currently used provided an accurate continuity of the original data series. He often published his own version of the CET and how much it differed from the Met Office figures

Average of all CET           17.46c.      Anomaly    1.18c.     I take down these figures every day...  But not the average of all .....         

I think the three stations used for the CET generally represent a good average. I live quite a distance from any of those stations but the CET reflects my local temperatures here in the East Midlands. While the South has been enjoying a heat wave this past week, it's been very warm here but not hot and I dare say Stonyhurst further North has been even cooler. 

We used to follow Hadley and Manley on here and sometimes Eden and they didn't differ much but the competition is run using the official Meto Manley figures to avoid any confusion.

Here is the latest data for August. Still expecting the CET to finish at 16.99C. So we will hopefully just make it to 17C rounded this month.

I think I'm close again - second month running. That doesn't happen very often!

The MetO have updated the final value for August at 17.02C

So you are the nearest this month with 17.0 - congrats !

Woohoo!
