Below are three types of unusual British winters from the 20th Century:- 1. There are two examples of a cold November proceeding an overall mild winter in respect of the 1960-1991 Central England Temperature (C.E.T) averages which include the following:- -1919-1920 November 1919 3.3c (below the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 6.0c), December 1919 5.5c (above the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 4.3c), January 1920 5.2c (above the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 3.2c), February 1920 6.0c (above the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 3.3c) -1993-1994 November 1993 4.6c (below the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 6.0c), December 1993 5.5c (above the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 4.3c), January 1994 5.3c (above the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 3.2c). Interestingly February 1994 was slightly below average with a temperature of 3.2c below the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 3.3c. 2. Below are two examples of a warm February ending an overall cool winter:- -1981-1982 December 1981 0.3c (below the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 4.3c), January 1982 2.6c (below the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 3.2c), February 1982 4.8c (above the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 3.3c) -1996-1997 December 1996 2.9c (below the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 4.3c), January 1997 2.5c (below the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 3.2c), February 1997 6.7c (above the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 3.3c) 3. Below are two examples of an overall cool winter that contained one mild month that was NOT February:- -1984-1985 December 1984 5.2c (above the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 4.3c), January 1985 0.8c (below the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 3.2c), Febuary 1985 2.1c (below the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 3.3c) -1995-1996 December 1995 2.3c (below the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 4.3c), January 1996 4.3 (above the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 3.2c), Febuary 1996 2.5c (below the 1960-1991 C.E.T of 3.3c) I determined this using the following websites:- http://www.personal.dundee.ac.uk/~taharley...av_temperat.htm http://www.personal.dundee.ac.uk/~taharley...ther_months.htm
