According to the BBC Countryfile .

December was 0.3c above the 1960 - 1990 average.

Which made your CET forecast only 0.2C out I believe so close enough to make
no difference.
However, when are the WMO and Met Office going to start using the 1971-2000
figures?

I don't understand this, the Met Office have the 1971-2000 averages
and it's up on on their website (apart from the mapped averages).

OK, so the WMO are a bit slow on this - but why use out of date
averages when talking to the UK public about the UK? Seems plain daft
to me.
