Review Of 2004

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Despite the huge celebrations here (ALL my friends came) and my consequent hangover (I think someone spiked my hot chocolate) I have spent a few minutes looking at my weather records for last year. If ever you're unsure as to quite how dull I am, perhaps the following statistics will help you decide.

Temperature:-

Average temperature: 8.7º

Highest daytime high: 27.0º (August 20th)

Highest nightime min: 17.8º (August 20th)

Lowest daytime high: -0.3º (December 25th)

Lowest nightime min: -9.1º (February 24th)

Days 21º or above: nineteen

Nights of frost: fifty-eight

Nights below -5º: sixteen

Consecutive nights of frost: twelve (February 20th - March 2nd)

Rainfall:-

Total rainfall: 1206mm

Wettest month: August (210mm)

Highest daily rainfall: 47mm (August 9th)

Consecutive wet days: fourteen (October 11th to October 24th)

Driest spell: nine days (May 11th - May 19th)

Please post yours and make me feel marginally better about myself.

2) Summer days were not hot enough

3) Summer nights were too warm

4) Winter was too warm

5) Not enough snow

6) Not enough frost

7) Not enough fog (I Like damp patches)
