do u live in a greenhouse?

That's a bloomin' great question but no - I don't. The reason why I seem to get such high CETs is summer and slightly lower ones in winter is because i live in a heat pocket. Yatton is sandwiched between low-lying hills and the moors that stretch out to Clevedon. That means there is less wind than everywhere else. In winter that means colder nights and in summer it means warmer nights. Also, the diversion of wind around the hills affects the path that showers take - which often is around my location. Though I have to say, summer nights are like a greenhouse here sometimes.

It's not a CET, CET stands for Central England Temperature.

It could be the YT (Yatton Temperature) or CYT or whatever...

Thanks.
