Here's another measure of the consistent mildness of
winter 2006-07.

At Luton, the number of days per season with the max
temp below these thresholds was:

Winter below 10°C below 5°C
2006-07 53 13 ...... so far ...


I'm a little confused Philip, just as I was going to total mine. Which
months are you referring to, as I would have just included Dec/Jan/Feb?

As the season for sub-5 and sub-10 days defines itself, I'm
counting the entire season ... starting in October (or even Sept
one year) and ending in April or May. You don't have to do
the same thing, of course, if you don't want to!

Ahh, I see!!
I've added this and last year's to the right of your totals.
2006-07 53/80 13/11 ...... so far ...
2005-06 121/141 31/47
