Cambridge Botanic gardens

[Len W‏]

I was wondering what the dew pt or humidity was when the UK record max on 25 July 2019

of 38.7°C occured in Cambridge.

It is not an airfield so does not seem to be listed as WMO index.

The records for Cambridge airport would be a little different but probably not by much.  The botanic gardens would no doubt be slightly more humid with higher dp pt.

I am familiar with Cambridge Botanic Gardens and it often does feel sticky but of course has lighter winds than out in the open county.

The airport is to shut and yet more houses (quote of 12,000) to be built.  That is particularly sad for me as I did my first solo in a powered aircraft (Tiger Moth) in 1957.

There are data for Cambridge in online weather uk, It gives RH of 30% at midday on 25 July 2019.

Yes, I am pretty sure this is at the airport. Much more exposed and different from the sheltered botanic garden.
