The two neighbouring Met Office sites showed a discrepancy of 0.2 \u00b0C widening to 1.2\u00b0C in just 1 hour to 12:00 and every PWS recorded a lot lower than Pershore\/Throckmorton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latter point of the PWS all recording cooler is a very important one to note. A general criticism of PWS is that they are frequently poorly sited in domestic gardens and prone to over recording temperatures i.e. they \u201c<strong>run hot<\/strong>\u201d but none of these are demonstrating that potential issue. Another notable point is the much quicker temperature decline at the aviation site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pershore\/Throckmorton went on to record the maximum reading of 14.9\u00b0C for the day, a remarkably high \u201cspike\u201d relative to the others and well over a degree celsius higher than noted as daily peaks for any of the surrounding PWS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since starting this post another day&#8217;s daily extremes has been posted and, yet again, our star performer is on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"420\" data-attachment-id=\"410311\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=410311\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-513.png?fit=877%2C509&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"877,509\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-513.png?fit=723%2C420&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-513.png?resize=723%2C420&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Screenshot of a weather report highlighting the highest maximum temperature recorded in the UK on October 24, 2025, with a value of 14.4\u00b0C at Pershore.\" class=\"wp-image-410311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-513.png?w=877&amp;ssl=1 877w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-513.png?resize=300%2C174&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-513.png?resize=768%2C446&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clearly, as Dr Huxter has extensively detailed in his posts, there are compromising issues with the Pershore\/Throckmorton site that are elevating this site\u2019s readings.
