And I am not talking about all the political nonsense going on here in America. So Mr. Ken and I are planning a big trip to London. As part of our preparation, I wanted to see what the weather has been like so I can plan my outfits. On a side note here, Mr. Ken (and probably most men), don’t plan outfits; they just pack the same clothes for every trip.
So I googled “Notting Hill weather.” This is what appeared:
A temperature of 79 degrees Fahrenheit doesn’t look too bad. After all, it is summertime.
I then googled “London weather” and this is what appeared:
According to this website (ABC News), London is in the throes of a major heat wave. The temperature at Heathrow was 98.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
Notting Hill and Heathrow are only 14 miles apart. Could there really be that much temperature difference?
Huh? Who to believe?

Hi Nancy
I’d believe the Notting Hill data. The heatwave was for a few days only and there was mass hysteria in the media. And…airports are not the best place to site weather stations..If you are into the Climate thing I can heartily recommend a site by one of your fellow Americans (Anthony Watts) https://wattsupwiththat.com/
Hope you enjoy your trip!
regards

Thanks for the info! I agree that airports aren’t the best indication of temperatures. I know when I hear quotes from Boston’s Logan Airport, I shake my head since they don’t match the temps where I live (and I only live about 12 miles from the airport.)
