Thank you, I enjoyed that.

Please confirm whether I have interpreted correctly or misunderstood: because you haven't used the terms "average" for temperature or sunshine in the 2023 row, has 2023 been milder than average and cloudier than average in a way that it hasn't been rainier than average?

I think that chart has summed up the English climate. Main difference from Norfolk is that it's been a very wet autumn, and winter so far.
What's been incredible this year is the level of wind: gridwatch.templar.co.uk shows the amount of electricity generated, with this month wind frequently being over 50% of consumed electricity.
My entire year has felt like July.
I'd forgotten that last winter's snow came very early, in December 2022.
Has this year been unusually windy? Or do we just have ever increasing amounts of installed capacity, and usual amounts of wind to make it work?
No snow down here but according to the Met Office link the UK officially had a White Christmas this year - even though the snowflake that fell was in the Highlands!
I look out for the word 'mild' on the weather forecast, because it's so ambiguous: each year I mark the first time it's used to mean cool as officially summer, and in the winter it means pleasant. So as a summary of the year it's a little ambiguous.
