Hi Colin,

We don't thank you often enough for these compilations, so here's a big thank you from me.

A suggestion; why not put the max temps first in summer and the min temps first in winter? Then the summer temps don't start with 'Coldest on Friday night: Braemar 9.3°C min / Mildest: Brooms Barn 19.2°C min' on the headline, when the first thing I'm looking for is whether the heatwave continued and whether it was the warmest day of the year?

In winter, it's different, of course and I for one am looking for the coldest place.

Keep up the great - and always interesting work!

Remarkable to see more stations with maxima over 30 than under 20,
especially in September rather than in "high summer". They were probably
complaining about the unbearable heat at Lerwick and on Fair Isle, not
being used to such temperatures. :)
