This is definitely a month/winter of two halves, the first half being very warm which peaked at 5.7c CET on the 17th then the rest of the month was well below average. The final CET finished on 4.0c just 0.1c above the long term average. Arctic air plunged down the country on the 16th giving…
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…
December was a much milder month than was predicted. The CET (Central England Temperature) ended up at 6.89c which was 2.3c above normal. This made the month the 15th warmest on record. It was a mixed month weather wise with one cold spell mid month which brought freezing rain. Most of the month was high…
October is one of the most colourful months of the year and it has seemed this year its been exceptional. Even more spectacular than previous years, this could be down to the late changing of the leaves at the end of the month. Always my favourite month to go mushroom hunting and I managed to…

Another exceptional month of weather, bringing a sizzling July.

Although we haven’t broken many temperature records, its been consistently very warm. July CET came…
What a fabulous June we have had, following on from the magnificent May, its been continuous blue skies for some in the UK. Although if you have been on the eastern side of the UK its been cool and cloudy persistantly. High pressure has been dominant through out bringing a hot start to summer. The…
