1816 C.E.T

Does anyone know the C.E.T for every month in 1816?

It would be interesting to know because there might have a few months that were slightly "warmer" than average.

Thank you for the data Mr_Data.

Sorry warm weather lovers but if I wanted to go back in time, I would go back to 1816. This was a phenomenally cool year in Britain due to Indonesia's Mount Tambora volcano erupting in 1815.

It appears there was a dramatic 6.4c temperature drop between October 1816's slightly cool 10.3c and November 1816's very cold 3.9c.

It seems that 1816 and 1879 were two of only a few years in the last 1000 years in Britain not to have a single month equal to or above the 1960-1991 C.E.T averages for Britain.

1740 was indeed the coldest year on record in Britain.

However September 1740 was surprisingly warm with a C.E.T of 14.0c. It was also only 0.7c cooler than August 1740.
