And those met office averages do not seem accurate. It gives Ballypatrick forest an average high of 7.1c which seems way too high for me.

You see BP forest is in the 5.5 to 6.5c range.

I'd trust the Met Office over any other source.

Agreed. Plenty of unofficial stations record weird numbers. Unusual numbers need to be documented.

He's trying to cherrypick so that Northern Ireland seems cooler in the winter.

I recorded it on my station ages ago.

But if you want proof of local stations.

Ok so Ballykelly is right on the coast.

Low in that year = -13.3c
Low high in that year = -5.4c

Nope it just seems that what I experience in winter does not back that up.

It was -8c here this winter. We quite clearly have a record low, far lower than -9c.

My record low is at least -15c.

Lincoln, UK (near me)
record lw -15.6c
record high 34.8c

although record high for boston is 35.4c

Either way Eastern England can easily compare to that.
