[Weather-history]

Hard to believe we are still waiting for a December with a CET of 5.9C

[I remember Atlantic 252]

6.5C, westerlies all month, with mixture of TM air and RPM air, zonal all the way, stormy as 'eck

[hillbilly]

4.1 please

[Captain Shortwave]

6.2C, a generally mild and pretty zonal month. Despite a few teases it does look like a typical El Nino pattern will emerge meaning a fairly wet and mild month.

I will probably end up way off, like the last few months

[Mair Snaw]

would like to see a 2.5 but im getting the feeling we could see a 6.2.....

[Timmytour]

Came on here to put 6.2C down and can't believe there's been a couple of guesses at that already! So i'm going to go 6.3C juat to be different!!

I believe the cold will come this winter but not until 14-16 Jan

[summer blizzard]

5.6C.

[pegg24]

5.9c

[Nights King]

6.1c

[Paul]

5.2c for me.

If the admin of a weather site goes for 5.2c,then it has to be 5.1c for me! ever the slight optimist

[BARRY]

4.1c
