These final averages use quality controlled data from
the UK climate network of observing stations. They show the Met
Office's best assessment of the weather that was experienced across
the UK during August 1998 and how it compares with the 1961 to
1990 average.
The columns headed 'Anom' (anomaly) show the difference from
or percent of the 1961-90 long term average.
