If you looked at our Weather page yesterday, you would have seen a maximum temperature of 29.7 degrees. And if you then looked at a "real" weather site (such as the BBC's) it would have appeared to have been a bit cooler.
Traditionally, the recorded temperature is "in the shade", but as our gauge is in direct sunlight, we are recording the actual temperature. While not strictly scientifically correct. it is accurate in its own way - that was the actual temperature in the Teapot Field yesterday.
We are planning to fall into line with the rest of the meteorological world, by building a Stevenson Screen. We've got as far as buying some louvre doors (from a car boot sale), but so far they are languishing in a shed.
I can confirm that it felt like 29 degrees, as I was planting up the newly created flower beds round the patio. Watch this space for photos of my green fingered expertise. Though, those who know me, may suspect that the results will not be quite as spectacular as I envisage.
