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.

Great photos Graham.
You seem to have had a bit more snow than we did in 1987.
We had about 3 inches.
This year we had about an inch and half in the small hours of the 6th.
Enough for us to get the sledge out and have a bit of fun.
I have a great picture of my wife sledging down from the church.
Don't ask me to post it on the web. She'd kill me if I did! :-(
