Please find below two graphs showing daily max and min temperature for 

the complete year, and also daily earth temperatures. Letters on the 

X axes indicate the mid-points of each month (approx), gridlines are 

at precisely 15 day intervals.

The Max and Min graphs show the exceptionally warm February very well 

and the definite cooling during the autumn.

The earth temperatures are fascinating as they show the growing period

starting early on my sandy soil in the first week of February 

(30cm > 50cm temperature) and also ending a bit early around the middle 

of October.

I have deliberately not shown other data or summaries as absences 

from the site in April and August make such data unreliable in a 

climatological sense. 

However, I hope you find the raw temperature data interesting.

Please feel free to use it in any way you wish. If it is used for any 

publication then I should be grateful for an acknowledgement as is 

usual practice in the scientific community.
