Manston:
1940 7 19.9 11.8 --- 56.9 (mean daily temp = 15.9C)
What ground temperature would a Luftwaffe raid, arriving over Manston at 8am in mid July 1940, be likely to find?
What ground temperature would they likely encounter over the English Channel?
I have provided the mean high and lows for various locations, and it is pretty obvious that 15C or lower ground temp is a distinct possibility for any likely location, especially before noon, and in the Late (daylight) afternoon (say after 7pm).
