These league tables are a slightly different approach to visualising our warming climate in central England, no fancy coloured candy stripes that you can’t understand, just plain tabulated ranked temperatures. One small point regarding them and that is because they are all based on provisional data since the start of the month they may be subject to a very small adjustment.
