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

I'd be surprised if the 1990 stat for Worcester is right Nick because in
1990 we had 9 air frosts during January in Coventry.


Steve, you may well be right as I am only going from memory and we know how
unreliable that can be!

I have spent the last hour rummaging around for my records from 1986-1993
but they seem to have gone missing. I reckon they could be in the loft
somewhere.

I did notice that January 2005 came close to having no frosts with only 3
very slight air frosts.

Dang it and darnation, where's me records!


Jan 2005 was fairly mild in Haytor too Nick with only 3 days of snow falling and
5 air frosts. Max. snow depth a mere 1 cm with just 2 days of snow lying 50%
at 0900. Min. temp -1.2C.

But to answer the question Jan 1989 I think was very mild from memory but not
that wet in the south.

Will.
