Notes
Detailed daily weather report for Hampstead nw3 in London on 16th August 2020.
Times of extremes are computed using the midpoint of the longest continuous period at that extreme value.
Cumulative anomalies are reported according to the expected value for the month-to-date rather than month-end.
Sun hrs are derived based on analysis of webcam observations, but may use data from our closest site, Heathrow, when needed.
Wet hrs are dervied algorithmically from rainfall data, though may be adjusted manually.
Rainfall totals may be manually adjusted after the fact to correct delayed or erroneous data.
Cloud cover and Events are manually reported, often with multi-week delays.
Data is generally reliable and accurate but should always be viewed with some quantity of salt to hand.
