The most memorable thing i remember about 1989 is the switch from wet to dry.Having endured almost 5 years of wet weather working on the farm the land was boggy for all the summers of 1985-1988 and getting stuck with the tractor in early April 1989 it suddenly became dry.All the land dried parched and went back to times not seen since the great summer of 1984.It also managed to throw in the blip of the 'Halifax storm',19th May which debatedly holds the UKs 2 hour rainfall record which i was lucky enough to witness.

I always remember 1984 slightly better than 1989 here.It was drier overall with a severe drought and although 1989 had a slightly better June,1984 had a better August which are as rare as hens teeth.

Showers and spells of rain and very strong winds for much of the day,max11 deg,min 9 deg

Not sure about that,certainly different in this area.December 1981 managed to give -23 and -24 deg in England only for January 1982 to beat that at -26.1 deg which is Englands all time record all in Shropshire and here in the Pennines December 1981 was colder than 2010 with monster snowdrifts in both December and January,something 2010 failed to do.
