1 District values for each element are computed using all available climate stations, excluding rooftop sites for minimum air temperature. The values in the table may not be compatible with other time series (eg. Central England Temperature, England and Wales Rainfall). 2 Highest maximum and lowest minimum air temperatures for each district are determined by calculating 95 percentiles. 3 Raindays are the number of days during which the total precipitation is at least 0.2mm.
