At this early stage i shall have to go for 5.4C, 1C above average. December has been wetter and milder than expected but my forecast actually called for January to be even worse.

Below is the January CET from 1659 to 2013, with the 10 year mean in red and linear trend in black.

The correlation between the December and January CET is the 4th strongest of any consecutive monthly pair, at +0.36. This means that, more than most other months, that cool Decembers tend to be followed by cool Januaries and mild by mild.

 

December looks likely to finish somewhere between 5.4 and 6.4C. So the average January following Decembers in that range, is 4.1C.

 

The current run without a January CET lower than 0C (34 years) is the 3rd longest on record, the 2nd longest was 40 years (1839 to 1878) and the longest was 58 years (1882 to 1939).

The current run with the 10 year mean CET above 4C (22 years) is the longest on record, with the 2nd longest being 20 years (1920 to 1939), and the 3rd longest being 8 years (1973 to 1981).

The current run without a CET greater than 7C (92 years) is the 2nd longest on record, with the 3rd longest being 81 year (1835 to 1935) and the longest being 137 years (1659 to 1795)
