Fascinating data and well presented!
The number of days in each month from May to September in the maximum daily temperature table seems to have gone awry, though. dg writes: One row duly nudged, thanks. |
Agree about the nice charts. Not as easy as it may seem to present such data graspably.
I notice that, using the definition you have chosen, we are coming not just to the end of a year, but also to the end of a decade. That seems rather noteworthy to me. |
As an example of regional differences, my street in NW London had such a hailstorm a week or two ago, it looked like it had snowed!
It'd be nice to have links back to your other annual weather round up posts for a decade long comparison. Are they on the 29th Dec each year? dg writes: 2016, 2017, 2018 |
That weather station is fascinating, especially as it's quite near where I live
The autumn this year has been very wet, largely making up for what had been a rather dry year. Up to August the rainfall for the year was at 71% of "average" whereas after 4 wet months it's now at 91%. November has to be one of the dreariest months ever for weather, the normal amount of rain but falling on 26 out of the 30 days! dg writes: January 2014 had 30 wet days. |
...and in another regional difference, I was quite happily wearing shorts in North Wales at the end of February, and I'm not even a postie!
|
The difference between Jan 2014 and Nov 2019 is that the former was an incredibly wet month, with rainfall at 257% of average so you'd expect lots of rainy days, whereas the latter had the normal amount of rain, but spread really evenly with several days with just a tiny amount of drizzle...

I remember the funny weather we were having in February. There was one day (the 23rd) that started out foggy and then all of a sudden became very sunny and reasonably warm. I can safely say that is the only time I have ever worn a t-shirt in February!

Fascinating to see the data laid out like this.

The ultimate retrospective 2019 UK weather summary here:
https://www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-a-met-office-review-of-the-uks-weather-in-2019 2019 managed to include the UK's warmest ever February day, warmest ever December day and warmest day on record. And here's the nw3weather 2019 review: http://nw3weather.co.uk/repyear.php#report-2019 |
As Hampstead is quite a bit higher than my station, which is a bit of a frost hollow, there are some interesting comparisons. And show why London is a collection of villages.
