From: Hammond, John [Met Office] Temperatures PR - final

Hi Annie

Please find attached what is hopefully the final version of the PR ready for pushing out tomorrow.

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

Cheers for now,

Dear all,

Have just made a couple of minor suggestions - and one bigger one! 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.
