Hadley has a final figure of 8.3c, although today the BBC are quoting a figure of 7.7c from the Met office, not sure where that comes from, maybe a UK average rather than CET average?

I have a site dedicated to all things CET http://www.centralen...perature.co.uk/ and have even written a freeware application to view the data. As far as my application is concerned which downloads the data directly from the Met Office the mean CET for March 2012 is 8.6°. Of course this is only the provisional value but I can't see why there is such a large discrepancy. As far as my app is concerned it's the third warmest since 1772. Here are some screen shots from my app. Even if you examine the data in Excel the total mean temp for March (1-31st) is 266.6 which if tou divide by 31 is exactly 8.6°.

You need to be using this daily data:

This is the adjusted data and gives 8.3C.

Interesting problem...
The CET app downloads the estimated values because they're more up to date usually running about 2 days behind. The corrected ones seem to be only available at the completion of the month. I could download both data files using the corrected ones to the end of the previous month and then filling in the latest with the estimated ones...all in all a bit of a faff.
The UK precipitation data (from the nine sub regions) only makes data at the end of the month as well - which is also a problem because that prevents my UK precipitation app (that I'm also working on at the moment) from displaying the latest available UK rainfall data.
Do any of you know if the daily sunshine values are available on the Met Office site anywhere?
