Wembury, SW Devon coast, 83m, 275 *ft asl, record since 1984

January 2010

Mean max 6.0C, *Mean min 0.7C, mean 3.4C
Absolute min -5.2C (5th)
14 air frosts

Precipitation 97.8 mm

Not as cold as January 1987:

Mean max 4.9C, Mean min 0.2C, mean 2.5C
Absolute min -10.1C (13th)
12 air frosts, but with 3 mins at 0C, thermometer precision +/- 0.1C,
so it could be 15 air frosts.

Precipitation 33.9 mm


Yes, 1987 really was cold.
