Default Has there ever been a January with *non-stop* mild, wet weather?

I guess there have been Januaries where no air frosts were recorded in
places - any idea when the last one was?

Aberdeen had no air frost in January 1906 - minimum 0.1C - and possibly
in 1916 as well. I only have the minimum for that month as 32F. None in
more recent years have been air frost free but quite a lot with no
lying snow.

2007 has in fact got off to a very mild, sunny and dry start here. For
1st-5th Jan mean temp has been 5.7C, rainfall 2.6mm and sunshine 15.1
hours. Lowest temp +1.7C.
