The Eye, You can't have it both ways! I took issue with your comment that . I challenged this precisely because an overall average April, or indeed an above average one which we're heading for, can be reached in any number of ways. What matters in terms of the CET is not how that average is attained, but whether, over the entire month, the average is below, on, or above. You can't have it both ways - on the one hand complaining at allegedly low maximums at the same time as admitting that there are many ways to get there, including not having high maxima! Consistency please ...As it happens, I don't agree anyway with your maximum temperature assertions for reasons I pointed out, and which you haven't answered: not least that the maximum temperature has exceeded the average every day since April 12th. We're likely to have a 20C or a 21C before the month is out anyway so I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make. The fact, if indeed at midnight on April 30th this is the case, is that April will be an above average month.
