Long established stations such as Durham, Bradford and Sheffield are also all Class 5, as well as Eskdalemuir, which is normally regarded as a reliable, rural station.
Amongst the Class 4s are Hawarden Airport, which holds the record temperature in Wales, and Charterhall, the record in Scotland.
Only Class 1 and 2 stations should be used for climatological purposes, including analysis of trends, national datasets and reporting of temperature extremes.
