January CET

[summer blizzard]

Well, after one of the most interesting Decembers in recent times, with a fairly average first half but one of the coldest second halfs in ten or fifteen years, what will january bring us, a continuation of the cold or a return to the modern January.

My prediction is 3.7C, 0.5C below average.

The average for January is 4.2C.

[Mark Bayley]

3.6c for me

[Snowstorm1]

1.2C for me

[snowlover2009]

3.3 cold and potentially very snowy

[James M]

I'll go for a mild one (if only to try a little reverse psychology )

5.6°C

[Guest]

I am under the impression that the westerlies don't have too much oomph at the moment, the eastern side of the North Sea is cooling down nicely so I will go for a 2.9C

[Koppite]

3.3C for me please.

[trickydicky]

-0.1

[Alex95]

1.9, cold.

[Polar Gael]

1.0C for me please. :wacko:

[LomondSnowstorm]

1.7C

[Paranoid]

4.9, bit milder than normal. I think balance will have to be restored after the weather we've been having recently :lol:

[Nights King]

4.5c The wonderful weather cannot continue for another month!

First week cold with some snow and some frost (im away skiing that week sods law) then 3 weeks of mild must followed by cool feb

[BARRY]

Well it's got to be 3.5

[paul tall]

-3.4.

Yeah.

[Thundery wintry showers]

At the moment a tentative 3.4C but this is subject to revision nearer the time.

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

-3.4.

Yeah.

I have a feeling you may be wrong...

[paul tall]

You think? Hmmmmm, how can it possibly go wrong?

[Weather-history]

3.8

[azores92]

not even the likes 1740 could rival the beast paul is predicting, the whole of england would be covered in ice rinks, itd be another frost fair over again!

[Guest]

4.9, bit milder than normal. I think balance will have to be restored after the weather we've been having recently :lol:

It's not unprecedented!

[Methuselah]

3.8 please...low enough for a bit of everything.

[Fozfoster]

4.0c for me please

[Milhouse]

Blimey, this threads a bit early with 10 day to go till Janurary. Still, worth a punt at this stage so i'll have 4.4c.

[osmposm]

Hmmmm. Tough one this early (as if it were ever easy!), the battle's still going on out there....but off to France tomorrow so better get it in or I'll forget.

+4.1 , provisionally - a tad below the 71-00 but above the 61-90. Overdue some high pressure which could drag it down even if it's not particularly cold air.....but the atlantic proper seems likely to re-assert too....on the other hand if the HP establishes Scandi-way... :unsure:

1961-1990 was +3.8.

1971-2000 was +4.2

Ten-year running +5.0 (rounded down)

Five-year running +5.4 (rounded up)
