Hi Nick,

Thanks for those stats, they are very similar to mine for Teignmouth.

Although your max / min's differ from mine because you are inland, the
overall mean temp / pressure and rainfall are very similar.

Although your max / min's differ from mine because you are inland, the
overall mean temp / pressure and rainfall are very similar.

About 6 miles inland, near the town of Ottery St Mary, north of Sidmouth.

May in Berkshire only has 31 days, so I'll never be able to beat this
kind of record, though of course much drier in Berkshire any way. Funny
place Devon ...
