From an old copy of the Guinness Book of Records dated 1978 . It quotes the example of 29th August 1936, when the range was 28.3*C at Rickmansworth, Herts, when the temperature rose from a morning minimum of 1.1*C to 29.4*C in 9 hours. This site is a renowned frost hollow, so its daily range is likely to be greater than other sites in the same general area.
It is Rickmansworth. In a frost hollow caused by a railway embankment - preventing the natural drainage of cold air from a valley. As far as I know Rickmansworth (at least this part of it) is the only place in England to have recorded frost in every month of the year. Over to you.
"You ask me how, I've become mad now" is the first line to a song - which one and sung by whom?
I should have been more careful with the wording of that question - had I known that Sting had done a cover version, I would have asked who sang the original version?
I would have twigged too to the fact that Sting picked the song up from Police's guitarist Andy Summers, who was guitarist for the band who originally released the song a decade previously - Dantalion's Chariot.
Over to you..
OK a local history question - "What was the name of the maternity hospital in Hemel that was knocked down for houses a few years ago?"
