Good thread this-
It isn't just the UK though that has suffered these ridiculous mild winters since the late80s.
Id love to be able to look at the temperature anomalies for Scandinavia in jan feb march since then-must be hugely positive.
You rarely seem to see severe cold in these parts any more-certainly nothing like in the 80s where max temps of -25c or lower were comon over there during the winter
And obviously since that is the direction we get our coldest weather from-when we do get Easterlies they are never as cold as they used to be.
I remember during that bitter spell in Jan 82 Mike Fish mentioning that Temps in Finland had fallen to -45c,and that this bitter air was heading our way "but hopefully it wont be quite as cold when it reaches over here" lol-well it did hit -27c-so not bad
