List of maximum temp by year

[h2005__uk__]

A while ago, someone posted a link to a list of yearly maximum UK temps and the date they occurred.

Does anyone have this link please? I've searched but to no avail!

Thanks

Trevor Harley's site is often referenced - it's one of the very best weather sites for British weather. So much data and detail, fascinating!

What's interesting from that list is that the max recorded temperature for a particular year has a habit of clustering sometimes at a particular site. The one that stood out for me was Camden square which recorded the annual max from 1926 to 1930 (5 years in a row).  Though 1928 and 1929 were both shared with Newport (IOW) and 1929 was also shared with Margate. There are plenty of other examples though of particular sites recording the highest annual temperature 2 or 3 years in succession though, or skipping a year only to hold the record again 2 years later. In fact Camden Square held the record in 1922, 1923 and 1924 also. It missed out in 1925 to Hunstanton. But if it had gained the record that year it would have held it for an incredible 9 years in succession. But alas it wasn't to be.
