December CET

[Stratos Ferric]

It's a shame that since she took off with Mr Don Key very little is heard of WB, aside from an occasional distant yelp. Can't imagine what it is she's getting up to, but you know WB...

She's also got a couple of new bouncing bunny rabbits, er, so I hear.

The December review has been released from http://www.personal.dundee.ac.uk/~taharley/britweather_years.htm

December. Very wet and unsettled first half, very dry and anticyconic second half. A tornado causes devastation in the Kendal Rise area of NW London on the morning of 7 December, injuring six and damaging 150 houses. There was flooding in Scotland midmonth, particularly around the Tay. As the anticyclone grew, there was dense fog in the south before Christmas, causing travel disruption. It became very cold in the NE, with -9C at Aberdeen on the 25th; Fyvie had 94 hours of frost. The thick rime at least looked like a White Christmas in many parts. Although some places had dense fog in this period, others had a great deal of sunshine; Aberdeen had 12 days of sunshine. It was the sunniest December on record for Aberdeen (85 hours, beating the previous December record of 67 hours in 1951.) The month ended wet and stormy in the north, cancelling many Hogmanay celebrations.

Also releeased the November review and he mentions "Overall temperatures were slightly above average, although the first week was relatively cold."

Slightly above avergage? It was 1.2c above normal. Wasn't really 'slightly'.
