Summer 2019 will be remembered in the record books for the highest ever temperature that has been recorded in the UK. 38.7c occurred at Cambridge on the 25th July 2019. It is also only the 2nd time we have broken the 100F. It hasn’t been an especially hot summer but there have been some notable…
It’s the month of great spurts of growth from blossoms to spring flowers but because of the warmth of February, we are 2 /3 weeks ahead of where we would normally be. 2/3rd through spring and it’s looking like it will be one of the warmest springs! It was a strange month where the month…
It has been an amazing spell of settled weather over the last 2 weeks of the month. Which has culminated in the highest February temperature ever recorded! These records are the longest in the world and go back to 1656. It is also significant that previously no winter month had ever gone over 20c before….
The first snow of winter arrived on 22nd January 22nd, an unexpected snowfall which was one of the quickest to fall since 2010. In the space of 4 hours, there was a thick covering of 8cm. With some of the biggest snowflakes, I have seen since 2010 snowfall. We were in the luckiest place for…

Its been a disappointing month if you are a lover of hot weather. Besides the first week of the month where the temperature over the country reached 30c regularly, it has been a much cooler air over the UK. With this cool weather it has scuppered the summer breaking records. It has turned out to…
Another exceptional month of weather, bringing a sizzling July. This summer is becoming a classic, now rivalling 1976 with the heat and the lack of rainfall, though it must be said that its now a central / southern UK event. Although we haven’t broken many temperature records, its been consistently very warm. July CET came…
