Welsh October record-length
.... I see from the Met Office press release he-
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html That the *previous* record for Wales is given as 26.4°C at Ruthin in 1985 (1st October). But I have a note, taken from 'official' sources some years ago, that the highest October value for Wales was 26.7°C (presumably 80°F observed, subsequently converted) on October 3rd in 1908. This was recorded at Betws-Y-Coed (Conwy/Snowdonia) and was part of a remarkable very warm/hot spell that also gave Scotland its October record of 25.6°C at Elgin on the 2nd in 1908 ... both these values are absent from the Met Office 'extremes' data base via this link he- http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/extremes/ Does anyone know what happened to these values? Were they found 'wanting' with the passage of time, or is this a case of the database not 'starting' until a certain point?
