This is the final release which the Met Office is issuing this morning. Hope this is OK with you.

I will give you a call in the morning before we hit the buttons.

As this is a joint release, it seems a bit unbalanced to have three quotes from the Met Office and one from UEA. Can I suggest attributing one of the Met Office quotes to Phil as well as his short point on temperatures? (Please see attached.) Happy to discuss.

I also noticed that in the UK series, the last 6 years are the 6 warmest years, so added a sentence on that. Nearer the Dec 13 release date can someone check the CET series. I know we've had a warm start to December and we're only at the 6th, but if it continues at say an anomaly of about 2 deg C above 1961-90, the year would just creep into being second warmest in the CET series behind 2006. 2007 won't break 2006's record, but a statement that we've just had the warmest 2 years in the entire 349 year CET series would be good to add to the UK sentence I've added. This would need checking on the 12th and looking at the 10-day forecast at that point. This final bit could wait till the 2008 'forecast' press release in early Jan, if you're still going to do that.
