For anyone who experienced February 2021 in the UK, you would have thought it was a cold month. But this can be very deceptive, the month started mild for the first few days and then it went very cold across the whole country. The final third of the month was very mild and this resulted…
A cold start to the month across the UK with snow in places and mid-month storm Christoph brought about lots of rain to central England. A lot of rivers broke their banks and there were quite a few severe flood warnings. Some in places that rarely had them like for instance around Bedford and Manchester….
A month of thirds with a very warm middle surrounded by cold. The CET ended up at 4.97c which made it an average month. At one point with 10 days to go the CET was over 2.5c above normal but the very cold end brought this backdown. It was also a month of very wet…
It has been a very wet month with record-breaking rainfall, with predominantly low-pressure systems across the country they have come one after the other, they always seem to hit at the weekends. Storm Ciara came on the 9th and Storm Dennis on the 15th bringing exceptional rainfall totals. It has also been very mild with…
Winter Lights at Canary Wharf is now open, it’s the 6th year of the Winter Lights and I have been to all of them. In one of the gloomiest months of the year, it certainly brightens up parts of London. With 26 light installations dotted around the area, you will get plenty of exercise walking…

But I still enjoy taking photographs of the various light installations, I managed to go 4 times this year. This year I…
The Beast is no more at least in this part of the country. It was finally slain by Emma in the early hours of the 3rd March in Watford. At the beginning of this cold spell of weather I thought it would last longer into next week. But a potent low pressure which came across…
If you just looked at the statistics this month you would have thought it has been a warm month. But it has felt much colder with a few snow events. The temperatures at night haven’t been that low which is why the statistics have come out as milder than average. The final CET for England…
Lumiere was back across London last weekend with over 50 installations spread across north and south of the city. It feels like a long time since the last one but it was only 2016. It certainly got the crowds into London from the 17th to 21st January despite the cold & rain. The lights of…
Its been the snowiest December weather since 2010, here in Watford. After not having any snow for the last 5 years we have had 5 days of snow cover, and 8 days of falling snow. Which is also more than the last 5 winters put together. The remarkable thing is that it hasn’t been that…
