Interesting. So I had a look at my means for the month and added in the forecast max mins from the Met Office website for the rest of the month.
Currently my mean (to today) is 17.4 C and if the forecasts are correct (big if) it will be 17.1 deg C here in S Hants. A bit warmer than the CET as you'd expect, but if the drop in CET between now and the 30th. is similarly 0.3 deg C, the record might go.
But at this time of year, the far south tends to cool off slower than at least the Lancashire part of the CET, so we shall await the outcome with bated breath! However, 2006 at 16.8 deg C mean temperature appears to be the warmest September in the Hadcet CET record.
