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

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.

[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!

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)
